I understand disliking the cropping on a regular screen, but for widescreen, I think you are losing so little of the picture that it makes more sense just to fill the screen. The general "wide perspective" is still there in 16:9. I looked at those two pictures of iRobot and, you know what? I would never care if I missed that little bit of the picture on the edges of the screen, but the black bars really bug me. I think the black bars are just much more intrusive and they shrink the picture too much.
