If you have a 16:9 TV any standard programming will look like this:
___________ | |XXXXX| | | |XXXXX| | |__|XXXXX|__|
with vertical bars on the sides. These bars are normally gray, to promote even burn-in across the whole screen. You can also choose to blow-up the 4:3 picture to fill the whole screen, by losing the top and bottom ,or stretching it.
I don't know about purchasing a Digital-Ready or Digital-Capable TV now, unless you can justify spending the money. The screens are, on a whole, clearer than a traditional TV but you'll probably only see a difference watching 16:9 DVD movies or some other digital service.
