The only way to have "no black bars" on ANY TV is to exclusively
play material which us in the same aspect ratio as the screen.

Another methodology would be to have a product that offered variable
horizontal and vertical stretch functions, but then again, anything
other than OAR would still look stupid.

Death to stretch-o-vision

I think the alliteration in the heading is more fun.

In that case, it would read better as : Bad boy boob-tube bans black bars

Content with an aspect ratio of LESS than 2.35:1 (including 1.85:1 movies,
16x9 TV shows and 4:3 TV shows) will have black bars on the side. Get used
to it.

Used to what?

Letterboxes or pillarboxes don't bother me that much, but if they do, I
zoom.
