I confirm : I've got a physical 16:9 display (Sony KV32FX60B, not HDTV). 
So, what's best ? Adjust the set to stretch an 4:3 anamorphic image or 
adjust the Xv output ? From a strict user standpoint, it seems easier to 
adjust the tv set since it is pressing one button om my remote control. 
It is not 'reconfiguration' when switching from a 4:3 to a 16:9 channel 
(most of them are still in 4:3).
