I've found that most SD shows on HD channels look pretty good on a HD TV. The biggest problem I've noticed watching SD programs on a HD set is sports, specially hockey. It may be because the distance that a game is filmed or the speed but after watching HD hockey, SD looks like crap. This can be helped by adjusting your TV but it's still not good. On the plus side most prime time is HD, most baseball is HD, most football is HD[even the CFL], golf and tennis are switching with the NHL dragging it's arse as usual, at least in Canada.
You can filll up your screen by using the stretch and zoom modes. I'd like to also add it's a good idea to calibrate a new HDTV as the default settings are usually overly bright.
