16:9 is to widescreen as 16:12 (4:3) is to your computer screen. If you
want the wide screen you lose 33% of the vertical computer display if
you fill the width because you only have 9 vertical and need 12.. The
only way to preserve the view without distortion is to reduce the 16:12
to 16x9/12:12x9/12 or 12x9 which leaves the black bands on either side
because the horizontal is 16.

In other words, it cannot be done.
