[mythtv-users] OT: Why 1080p?

what a thread... I've learned quite a bit about HD resolutions...
actually most of it is a bit over my head but it was a great read.

Chris' last comment brings up a question that I have he said "I don't
know of anyone who
uses their 1080p set to watch 720p content w/ black bars on 4 sides"

Can someone explain to me when black bars would be visible when
displaying which content? My neighbor has an 42" LCD and I was under
the impression that if a program was displayed in HD that it would
fill the entire screen but I find that's not the case. So, I was
hoping to be able to identify what content is being displayed at what
resolution given where the black bars are when viewing.

Is that a reasonable assumption to make, although from the earlier
posts that could be a bad assumption...

AJM,
