The tv can handle 6:9 and 4:3 formats.My concern is I,ve heard about uneven aging of the LCD screen if there's unmoving image or shade,like the black border on both sides when tune to HD channels.Do I need to manually zoom it?

Your question is a bit confusing. With an HDTV, the black side bars should exist on NON-HD content. HD content should fill the screen. (Of course, not all content broadcast on HD channels is HD content. This is a different issue.)
If your non-HD content is filling the screen, then your set has been set to a zoom mode; in this mode HD content will exceed the screen size and not be entirely visible. You should be able to select a zoom mode which allows HD content to fill the screen, and non-HD content to show side bars. The side bars shouldn't damage your screen in any way.

There should be a view button on your tv's remote that lets you stretch the picture to fit your screen. And, some HD channels still have the 4:3 aspect ratio screen.

Calibrate your display.
Televisions are often set to 100% brightness and contrast at the factory so the unit will be 'eye-catching' if it is used as a store demo.
Turning down the brightness and contrast to sane levels will dramatically reduce the chances of burn in.
"What settings do I use?" (this is often the next question)
You have 2 choices:
- Hire an ISF Calibrationist to come in and adjust things for you
- Buy a copy of Avia or "Digital Video Essentials" and follow the tutorials with test patterns to adjust your set.

Check your cable or satellite box, they might have a TV type setting or preferences setting.
The aging doesn't matter as much. As the tech gets better, aging effects go away.
