Yes that's correct. When using the D3D renderer, MAME takes into account the aspect ratio of your monitor and displays the game in its original 4:3/3:4 aspect ratio on as much screen space as it can.
I have a 5:4 monitor so I get little black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen on horizontal games. It's not bad, some games have bezel artwork that will show in that space. This looks great especially on vertically oriented games. Configuring MAME to display the games in any other way completely screws up the beautiful artwork.
To get rid of the blur, set filtering to 0 and to get rid of the occasional doubled pixel, set prescale to 2 or 3. There you go, crisp as fresh potato chips.
Note that the prescale setting does not have any effect if you have HLSL enabled, then you must use the HLSL prescale setting.
Yes i know that's not what you're asking for but you said that one of the reasons that you don't like for MAME to run the games the way they're supposed to look like is because the image is blurry. And that's because you're using the wrong settings.
