No I have it on Full Screen... You mean you guys see black bars on your Tv's?! If I play a old-school game on an old-school system the screen stretches and looks awful... Not on my Wii VC though, not at all.
Dan-Fu:
Well isn't that a good thing then? ???

"Full Screen" on Sony and some other TVs means just that, FULL SCREEN. Keep clicking through those aspect ratios...

Okay, describing visual minutia with words is difficult. Here's a handy picture, using the display resolution of the 3DS.
On the left is the image being displayed in the original aspect ratio of an NES game, with black bars on the side.
On the right is the same image stretched to fill the entire 3DS screen.
First a familiar NES screenshot, then a couple images to illustrate why stretching is bad.
And yes, my font choices were entirely biased.
