I have a 16:9 widescreen TV.

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (677x382 millimeters)
  resolution:    48x68 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32

I set xorg.conf so that the 16:9 broadcasts fill the screen ... note that I'm 
using the nvidia driver, and I found I had to set the 16:9 via the dpi 
settings :-

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Driver  "nvidia"
        Option  "UseEvents"     "1"
        Option  "DPI"   "48x68"
        Option  "NoLogo"        "1"
EndSection
