<< WEGA's are very nice but I would rather have the widescreen TV for teh whole DVD experience no more black bars for me. Whoo Hooo! >>
Well, since most movies are 2.35:1 ratio, you still have black bars. Of course it doesn't look as ridiculous as on a 4:3...
Paying a lot of $$$ for a 4:3 HDTV is not a very intelligent move. Either spend less money and get a FS or FV line Wega (non-HDTV) with the intent to replace it in a few years when 16x9 is the standard and cheaper, or get your wallet out and buy a 16x9 HDTV now.
You'll regret buying a 4:3 HDTV in a few years when HDTV will have settled in, especially knowing how much you paid for it.
