Can I Stand 16:10??

My new 22 inch TV is 16:10, not 16:9. It was made by a computer monitor manufacturer (AOC.)

I had read on the web that some 19-inch models are 16:10, but I didn't know that some 22-inchers are, too. And I didn't notice the stretch in the store.

It was cheap and I'm satisfied with the picture except for the vertical stretch. I've read that this slight stretch does not bother most people. What do you guys think? Will I get used to it once I use it a while?

Yep, if you're not careful you'll get burned buying a 'Wider Screen' TV vs a Wide Screen TV. It would 'bug' me and there is no way I'd get use to it. Plus, the problem might be aggravated watching a wide aspect movie on Blu-ray.
