Unfortunately, you've just demonstrated that you really don't understand the things you're discussing.

"Normal" will be the correct upscaling setting 99% of the time. It preserves the original aspect ratio of 4:3 DVDs by properly pillarboxing them.

"Full Screen" stretches 4:3 DVDs out across the entire 16:9 frame of your HDTV, resulting in an image that not only has the wrong aspect ratio, but the wrong proportions as well.

Anamorphically enhanced widescreen DVDs are unaffected by the "Normal" or "Full Screen" settings and will be displayed correctly either way.
