My Mitsubishi has five video modes:

Standard - for anamorphic video
Expand - for non-anamorphic widescreen material. It crops the top and bottom.
Zoom - for 2.35:1 anamorphic video. It crops the sides to fill the screen. Eliminates the black bars on "scope" movies.
Stretched - stretches 4:3 video to fill the screen. Differs from Standard mode in that it does more stretching on the sides than the middle of the picture. You supposedly notice distortion less on this mode than just the straight stretch you would get in Standard mode.
Narrow - for proper display of 4:3 video. Gray bars appear on the sides. This video slowly shifts from right to left to eliminate "burn-in" of the gray bars on the sides.
