I just bought a 40 in JVC LCD HDTV. these are some of the specs:
LT-40X887
40" Flat Panel LCD TV
40" 1366 x 768 Flat Panel LCD with ATSC/QAM Tuner
High Resolution W-XGA (1366 x 768) LCD
D.I.S.T. 770p (Digital Image Scaling Technology)with GENESSA Picture Processing
Now I also bought an LG upconvert dvd recorder. I hooked it up directly to the LCD via HDMI cable and I am also running an optical connection to my surround sound.
Now when i play MI3, Flyboys, Grudge 2, etc. it looks and sounds awesome. Now the problem (if it is one) is that I was under the impression that since my TV is 16:9 capable that when i put a movie in it would take up the whole screen. Well negative it does not! the movie only plays in the middle of the screen. Why??? Yes i did set the dvd to 16:9 but still does nothing???
last night i played the movie the departed and it looked like crap..it looked a little blurry and it was not clear at all. Now is that just the way the movie is? what could it be??
Thanks in advance.

This is a common complaint of new 16:9 users. Simply put, although your display is 16:9 (or 1.78:1) some movies are shot in ultra widescreen format or 2.35:1. The black bars on top and below are "normal" even with a widescreen display. I think the 3 movies you mentioned were shot this way. The concept behind this is O.A.R. or Original Aspect Ratio. Here's a good website that explains it all:

For upconversion I'd say stay as close as possible to your display's native resolution - in your case 720p. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try both with different movies and choose what looks better for you.
