Still using my sony 36 in trinitron tube for viewing.....

If I buy a wide screen format HD tv (like a 46 or 50 in) and use a
standard dvd player (non blu-ray or HD) will there still be a top & bottom
letterbox when I watch wide screen format dvd (16:9) movie?

I would guess there would be side letter boxes when watching a full screen
format dvd (4:3).
Thanks for the help

On some DVDs (mostly older ones) you will still see the black bars, but it
has been my experience that most of the newer DVDs display correctly on a
16/9 screen with no bars, if your DVD player is configured correctly (for
16/9).
