OK. He means that when you are watching content that produced in "letterbox" mode in 1080i you can't stretch it to eliminate the black bars at the top and bottom. That is true of the Zenith - I can't speak for the Sony. I think you can stretch and zoom in 480p (progressive scan level). If that matters to you, find out if the Sony is better. It simply isn't an issue to me. I'd rather watch things in widescreen if that is how they were made. The black bars don't bother me. Stretching the picture and zooming in (which crops the sides off) does. You'll have to make your own call about what your priorities are.
Have fun, and let us know what you get!
