Make sure the broadcast you're receiving is High Definition (HD).

cause black bars.
Set your cable/satellite box to stretch or widescreen mode to eliminate the bars.

If you are using a Cable/Satellite box, you must set Closed Captioning on the box,
not your TV.
Your cable box may need a firmware upgrade. Please contact your Cable company.
This is sometimes caused by compatibility issues with your cable box.
Try connecting Component cables instead.
