<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Sony 34 inch widescreen. Its a CRT. I have a subscription to consumer reports and did a lot of independant research, too. Everything says that if you want the best picture possible you should still go with a tube TV. They say the plasmas and projections look fancy physically, but still dont compare to a tubes picture quality and viewing angle, plus there is no burn-in.
I went for the 34 inch because my living area is small, it still seems very big to me as i am used to a 20 inch, i cant imagine what something like a 60 inch would look like in my family room, even with the 34 i find myself having to look left and right to catch everything on the screen.
Since i got it at Circuit City (for $300 off MSRP :) i got a coupon for free HDTV from my cable provider for a year. I got that hooked up yesterday and boy oh boy does HDTV look nice. Its a shame that there arent more HD stations and programs that are in HD. I cant wait for the day when everything at anytime will be in HD.
DVD's look super sweet, too. That was the main reason i got a widescreen since i subscribe to Netflix and watch a lot of movies. Luckily when you are watching regular TV that is not in the 16:9 ratio there is a zoomstretch option that fills out the rest of the screen with very little distortion (ie, they dont look short and dumpy like just the stretch option does).
I'm dissappointed that the skins game on Sunday wont be broadcast in HD, ESPN does it for the 8:00 game and it is on Monday night, too, but not a regular game during the day... gay.</div>
