Cause of Concaved Picture
It sounds like you have a bad capacitor somewhere in the vertical circuit. As it ages and dries out, it changes value, and usually in the wrong direction.
it is most likely a widescreen television therefore it may have black bars running across the top and bottom.
Yes, but there might be black bars across the top and bottom of the picture.
Historically theater screens are wider than television screens. To put the movie on TV, you either have to "Pan and Scan" or letterbox it. When the is letterboxed, you're actually seeing the entire picture as it was in theaters. "Pan and Scan" chops part of the picture off.

In the old days of CRT televisions, I would have rated Sony TVs at the top. Their Trinitron picture tube was (in my opinion) the best picture tube made. But now, in the era of flat-screen TVs, the relative merits of the various makes are less significant. I bought a "bottom of the line" TV from Best Buy because it had all of the features I needed, and didn't cost me a fortune.
the picture is now on the top half of the screen
depends on the amount of inches from the bottom to the top.
A Sony Motion Flow is basicly a banner that appears on the top and bottom of your tv screen. It shows you what you can have set on your tv.
Picture bowing and bending on a projection TV is usually caused by an out-of-spec power supply voltage that is not providing sufficient voltage for proper screen deflection. Seek qualified service for this unit.
Oh, it looks like those black bars are there to make sure the picture fits properly on your screen. It's just a way to maintain the right aspect ratio and make sure everything looks nice and balanced. Just like when we add a happy little tree to our painting to create harmony, those black bars are there to keep everything in balance on your screen.
Use the ASPECT button on the remote to make the picture fill the screen. This will not always work. The program was made in the wide screen format and not necessarily made for the aspect of your TV screen.
On your TV, you have the ability to change the aspect ratio of the picture. What's happening is that you may have the aspect ratio improperly set so that the DVD's picture doesn't fill the screen, or possibly the video was filmed in an aspect ratio that's different that our current standards (maybe something originally ilmed in a different video format). On your computer, it sounds like you're seeing the edges of the viewing area of your monitor. ALL CRT (tube type monitors) have a usable viewing area, but also conatin a black line around the top, bottom and sides.
