Uhm, noooo.... I worked at CC awhile back but i was in computers, not entertainment.
This is a no-no, as all HD content is displayed in 16:9. So if you plan on watching a lot of HD programming, you won't see it as it's meant to be seen. Or, this TV isn't telling you something.Originally posted by: aphex
Sanyo 32" HDTV (4:3)

o ok...well the big question is whether you are going to watch more DVD and HD content than normal. For a tube set right now 4x3 is still the way to go IMHO.

Ok why the heck would a 4:3 on a Tube be the way to go over a 16:9 tube?
I've got a WS 32" Phillips in my bedroom and we LOVE it at nights.

Pay more for the WS if you want, its your call.
Any WS TV will distort an analog signal, not just tube tv's. It doesn't have to do with the type, it has to do with the amount of lines displayed. The distortion isn't that bad and you get used to it after a week or so.
You should have said 4:3 over 16:9, not just tube tv's. The statement sounded like you were saying 16:9 were inferior to 4:3 for tube sets. They aren't.

ok...lets open up that can or worms. Most good projection or DLP sets have decent upconversion so the distortion isnt that great. Plus the DNR on them takes care of a lot of the problems too. The only thing you have to worry about on good sets is the fact that you will loose a little off the top and bottom of the picture.

My 32" Phililips has DNR and that could be a reason my picture isn't too bad. It only appears "soft". Also most good projections and DLP sets you back serveral thousand dollars and more. I'm not quite sure what this has to do with anything though. There is ALAWAYS going to be image degradation with an HDTV set for analog, no matter what you do. You could spend a grand or so for a line doubler but it'll never look like HD.
You'd need to just see the TV itself in person and make the call. If you plan on watching DVD's and HD content then its a no brainer.
I'll never go back to 4:3. 16:9 is just a much better experience.
