I'm not sure I understand all these "widescreen" questions.

I'm running my pc/ and DW on a 50" samsung HDTV. Everything looks fine to me. No black bars on the sides or top/bottom......

I dunno......I don't get it. Works fine for me, no tweaks at all.

This brings us to the following question : how do I display (that is without distortion) the game on a widescreen display (whose aspect ratio obviously is non 4:3). In this case hardware comes to the rescue, either through the monitor controls or through the video cards drivers that enforce a 4:3 aspect ratio when scaling the image to "fill the screen". That is why you will have black bars, they are there to enforce the correct aspect ratio.
If you have a widescreen monitor and DW fills the screen (no black bars either horizontally or vertically) the image is scaled up to fill the entire screen and it will be distorted. Round shapes will not be round but oval shaped and so on.
