That depends on your source.

Black bars should show on the sides of your tv when watching standard definition. Make sure you are on the HD version of whichever channel you are trying to watch and it should fix it. Keep in mind that not all content is recorded in HD and you may still have bars on the sides of the TV even if you are on an HD channel.

Black bars on the top of the TV are normal when watching some Blu-ray movies. They maintain the original aspect ratio of movie theaters which is the slimmer 1:2.41 vs the 1:1.85 of a 16:9 HDTV broadcast show.

In those situations it is normal for your picture not to fill the screen.
