I have a wide screen but don't want to play in wide screen.

I bought at awesome laptop and can play all the new games ... but most of the games I play are PSX emulations or indie shmups (but let's focus on the PSX emulations). I want to play my PSX games full screen, but when I do, I get this way too wide picture.The game I'm playing right now is FFIX. But I am looking for something universal.

Good question, I was about to order a widescreen tft monitor,
but now may consider a standard 19".
How do the games look? totally ruined or just slightly overweight characters?
