I don't quite get what the 'widescreen' setting in the dashboard does, if anything.

That is exactly what you need to change.  Set it to 4:3 instead of 16:9.  You'll get 4:3 with black panels on the sides.

At least, I think that's what it does...smile.gif

And yes, there's plenty of 16:9 games.  Don't remember all by heart.  Just read around.  You'll find some.

There's three options on that screen.  4:3/standard, widescreen, and something else.

Try all 3 and see which one best suits you.  I'll give you a hint, you don't want to tell the XBOX you have a 4:3 screen when you actually have a 16:9 screen, so that eliminates one option.  Try the other two and see what happens.

Also use the list of HD games in my sig. and make sure to try it with a game that supports widescreen natively.  I don't know what will happen with a game that doesn't support widescreen when you are set to widescreen (should put up the bars, but I haven't tried).
