I'm still curious what the problem of black bars is? Apparently some people see them as dangerous black holes that will devour everyone who's watching the screen.
Whenever possible, I use the Vertical Shift to move the video to the top of the screen, and keep the lower black section for displaying subtitles.
Videos come in various aspects. Mostly from 4:3 to 16:9 to 21:9. The same applies to monitors.
If you want to shove a different type of aspect ratio onto your TV/monitor, you will get black bars. It's not rocket science.
The simplest "cure" IMO is to change the display to 'zoom', the video aspect is not changed, and you then save that setting for all videos in the Video OSD.
You'll lose a bit of video info on two sides, but that's the trade-off for not having to fiddle into percentages for every other video in your media collection.
