I am very happy with my Toshiba 56H80's "Theatre-Wide-1" mode that stretches in a manner that leaves the center of the picture relatively undistorted. The prices of the Toshibas are very competitive too. Your mileage may vary.
BTW, most DVD viewing is in 16:9 normal mode since most DVD's these days are anamorphic (AKA enhanced for 16:9 TVs) transfers.
I was looking for a set that did 720p but there are not many. The only one at the time was a panasonic and I think even they are giving up on it. 720p (sadly) looks like a dying format.
