My girlfriend has a widescreen tv and here are my thoughts on the black stripes at the top and bottom of the screen...

I think that they are built into the dvd that you play because some dvd's have them and some don't. I was really hoping that her tv would display better than that when we got it so I was kind of disappointed.

As far as what are the widescreen LCD's good for...

They are very useful for all sorts of things. Anyone who is doing any kind of creative work can benefit. You can keep all your tools on one side of the screen and still have your documents in their normal proportions on the other side.

For example...
