My brother in-law has a panny SDTV widescreen plasma and not once when watching regular TV have I noticed bars anywhere? I have also seen it with regular Xbox and also a Wii and again no bars I dont know about when he plays DVD's though. But again everything I saw was NO bars and his picture doesnt look stretched or anything either??

You may not have noticed any bars on SDTV because they are pretty rare - unless you watch movies on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). They offer almost all of their movies in the original aspect ratio and many of the movies after 1955 used the 2.35 "Cinemascope" AR and these will be presented with bars on top of and below the image no matter if it's on an NTSC TV or a HDTV.
