    It depends on what your source is. Obviously your TV is an HDTV, as long as you are watching it straight off the air (antenna) it will be in HD and fill up the screen. If you have HD cable or satellite, then it will fill up the screen. If you have satellite or cable that is NOT HD, then it will not fill up the screen. Even with HD, some commercials will still be in standard definition and the bars will appear, but during the Super Bowl with commercials costing 1 million dollars per second....pretty safe to say most of the commercials will fill in your screen too.
