It is a very common misconception that if you buy an HD TV then movies will play in full screen. Unfortunately, movies are made in many different aspect modes that don't always match the 16:9 aspect of an HDTV. You can use the "aspect" button on your TV's remote to change the picture aspect, but if you fill the screen you may lose some side picture information.

Movies don't all have the same aspect ratio.
