There are DVDs out there which are widescreen but letterboxed within a 4:3 frame. What you need is a zoom function that enlarges the picture by about 20% (horizontally and vertically). Neither my TV nor my DVD or Blu-ray player will do that, so I have to rip such DVDs to an mkv (using MakeMKV, which is free), then play them back using the WDTV Live media player, which happens to be able to enlarge them by a factor of 1.2.
My TV does have a couple of zoom and stretch modes, but they don't work with high-def inputs, just composite video (yellow) and S-video. Perhaps your TV works the same way.
