New "Enhanced for widescreen" is worse
That one just said it preserved the 1.85 ratio. So I tried one that said "Enhanced for widescreen TVs". That one had a black border from the TV all around the image, plus black bars top and bottom from the DVD.

I could stretch to 16:9 format, which just eliminated the TV-added border on the sides, or "Cinema" which zoomed (preserving aspect ratio) so that the top and bottom TV-added border was gone, which cut off lots of the sides, and still kept the black borders top and bottom from the DVD. No zoom mode eliminated the DVD letterboxing.

I know this is a cheap DVD player, but this is just ridiculous.
