I have a new 16:9 display and use it with the xine-plugin. Unfortunately many stations broadcast 16:9 content in a 4:3 stream with hardcoded black bars at the top and the bottom. There is no possibility with xine and/or the xine-plugin to get rid of the black bars, the expand post-plugin doesn't work in this situation.

Have you tried to play with (a) aspect ratio and the different zoom (z,Z also combined with alt and crtl I think as default) ?

This seems to be a working solution. Some TV sets can do something similar which is often called "cinema zoom".
