You might have a custom zoom option available on your TV - it will be called different things depending on your make and model. On my Samsung TV, I can adjust the vertical zoom using the picture size options, so I can eliminate the top and bottom black bars.

Of course, the downside is that you have a slightly stretched picture but I prefer this to having the bars. So, it really depends if you want to watch it as the director intended, or have it stretched, but then have no black bars on the top and bottom of the picture.
