I know this is an old-ish thread, but I recently updated my Plex player and noticed there was a new option under “Aspect settings” to CROP on the “TV optimised” view.

I don’t like the black bars and so manually ZOOM using the TV anyway - I would rather fill my complete 65" with the movie, all be it sacrificing a bit of content from the sides.

I haven’t checked, so I’m unsure if ALL movies are cropped by default, or whether it is just letterbox movies that are cropped.

If it is the former, then thanks Plex, awesome feature!!
