I think most widescreen TVs DO have video modes similar to your Mits' "EXPAND" mode. Since they have different names it's really difficult to know what the equivalent modes are on any given set. I have a total of 3 video modes I use:

Full for anamorphic material
TheaterWide 2 Zoom/Stretch mode for non-anamorphic 1.85:1 material (or wider)
TheaterWide 1 Stretch mode for non-anamorphic 1.33:1 - 1.78:1 (roughly) material
EDIT: TheaterWide 3 Zoom mode (forgot about this one.. )

I don't know how these video modes translate to video modes on your Mits. the "Normal" mode is standard 4:3 with grey bars on the sides and I RARELY use that mode...

Peace.....
