Your wallpaper is likely a 4x3 aspect ratio.  You should be able to tell your WM to center instead of stretching, that'll pad the sides and make it normal again.

It's very legible.  I don't think images on websites are stretched sideways any more, either, although my wallpaper seems to be.  It turns out this $30 investment is better than I had thought.
