Q. What is the difference between a Vizio LCD-HDTV with 720p and 1080p? I'm considering buying the 32 in with the 720p.
A. You'd have to sit 6 feet or less from your 32" TV to see the difference between 720 and 1080 in terms of resolution. See the following chart...

Why does my LCD HDTV have black bars on the left and right sides of the screen?
Q. I have a 32'' widescreen audiovox LCD HDTV. I also own a comcast digital cable box, which we used to view hi-def programs through component cables. We recently got a dvi cable and now sandard-def programs have black bars on the left and right of the screen. Th HD is fine,no black bars. But standard-def channels now have black bars on the left and right, but they did not before when we used component cables. Any help would be appreciated.
A. Widescreen TV's are wider than standard def TV's. You have space left over on each side when you put the shape of a standard def program on the screen. You can always stretch or zoom, but that's your preference. I would keep it as it is and see the original content the way it was meant to be viewed.
Standard-def channels have a 4:3 aspect ratio; the width is 4/3 = 1.333 times longer than the height.
High-def channels have a 16:9 aspect ratio; the width is 16/9 = 1.78 times longer than the height.
If you take a standard def image (1.33:1) and put it in a widescreen set as large as it will fit, you will have black bars on the left and right.
It used to be that all programs (movies and television) had a 4:3 apsect ratio. When television was introduced, the theatres had to have something novel to draw audiences back to the theatre. They switched to even larger aspect rations of 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 (width is 2.35 times longer than the height). Early movies like "Gone with the Wind" the original "Dracula" and even "The Wizard of Oz" were all 1.33:1 and would fit perfectly on standard def screens.
Since a lot of movies have even wider screens than HDTV's, you are going to even run into black bars on the top and bottom.
16:9 (1.78:1) is basically a compromise between standard def (1.33:1) and theater (2.35:1).
