Why are all my blu ray movies in widescreen? I thought they cover the whole screen.?

When hooking my computer up to my tv to watch blu ray movies, I get about a 3 inch black bar on the top and bottom of the screen like a normal widescreen movie. Here is the tv I have:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-KDF-E50A10-50-Inch-Projection-Television/dp/B000A2K3Y6 .

I know that it only plays in 1080i but it still should cover the entire screen. I stretch it to fit the screen the best I can but the images get blurry. Any help would be appreciated.
