Why is it when purchase a widescreen tele and watch a widescreen film on it you still get the black lines top and bottom i thought the whole purpose of widscreen was so you did not get that anymore.

having reaf people's answers i still dont understand why we are told to buy wide screen and removing the black bars top and bottom, zooming in will just defeat the object as you will start losing the outside of picture and if the film is filmed/recorded in a different format to that what t.v's are sold in what is the point in buying a 16:9 tele as i dont think it is any diferent to viewing a square tele as they both have the black bars

Even PC monitors have them. Black lines come from wires which are used to keep the deflection panels in place. Those panels are used do control the flow of electrons from the emitter to the screen.

Your widescreen TV has a 16:9 ratio (1.78). Most widescreen films have even wider ratios, as much as 2.35. You get LESS of the black lines, but (unless you find a film that is presented at the 1.78 ratio), you'll always have some.
Edit: The point to buying a 16:9 TV is that TELEVISION is (will be) broadcast at 16:9. The bars will only be present (like I said above) if you're watching a MOVIE. TV shows (hi def) are 16:9. You will get the entire picture with no black bars. THAT is the purpose of widescreen TV. No TVs are being made that will match the width ratio of movie screens -- it's incorrect to assume that the reason for widescreen tvs is to watch movies without the bars.

The resolution that ure source has isnt actually wide screen, but has been formatted to fit and work on wide screen by adding the black lines.
if u have a dvd movie that is double sided and has widescreen on one side and regular on the other u wud notice the difference.
the quality of the resolution has to be set to widescreen at the source and that is usually attained from original dvds.

That should only happen with films shot in panavision. You can use the zoom function to fill up the whole of the screen if it bothers you.

You get less of them, though. It's just not practical to make them wide enough to avoid the lines completely. The scanning method would need to be changed, raising the price significantly.

that would be my thought. you may want to check the ratio your tv is set up at because it may be set to full screen and so you will get the bars
