On your TV, you have the ability to change the aspect ratio of the picture. What's happening is that you may have the aspect ratio improperly set so that the DVD's picture doesn't fill the screen, or possibly the video was filmed in an aspect ratio that's different that our current standards (maybe something originally ilmed in a different video format).

On your computer, it sounds like you're seeing the edges of the viewing area of your monitor. ALL CRT (tube type monitors) have a usable viewing area, but also conatin a black line around the top, bottom and sides.

Is a martini glass an obtuse angle?

I found a picture of a martini glass, and doing my best to measure the angle from the picture on the monitor, it looks like the bottom angle is about 70°, and the angle between the top edge and horizontal is about 55°. So that one would not be an obtuse angle. See related link.
