I'd like to buy an HDTV, but I don't want a floor standing monstrosity. My entertainment center has an opening aproxamately 33" w x 35" high and about 20" deep (but it is strong enough to hold extensive weight).Does anybody make, or is anyone about to introduce an HDTV set that will fit into that opening. A 36" or larger would completely dominate my living room, and I live for music, not movies.

I have a very similar space constraint and can suggest two solutions that fit the bill in W and H but are a little deeper. I just bought a Panasonic 32" Tau HDTV model CT-32HK40. Its width is 31.5" X 26" H and maybe 21" deep. The width was my biggest worry because my cabinet was limited in that dimension to 33", and so I am very sure about the width dimension. This HDTV is a 4:3 aspect ratio but displays 16:9 fine. I think Princeton Graphics also has a model close to the size you need, but is a 30" tube at a 16:9 ratio. Don't have that information, but look it up. I decided on the Panasonic because it was significantly less expensive. I have only had for two days now so I can't give you an actual review yet because I am still in the learning mode to get the picture quality settings just right. Hope this helps. BTW: the Panasonic unit is deeply discounted by several web dealers. I saved over $440.00 even after having it shipped from NY to CA. as compared to the best price I could get locally.
I have a 36" Sony WEGA Trinitron FD, which is a high-definition (1080p) monitor (no tuner). It's about $2,700, but it comes in a 32" version for about $2,000.A little higher up the food chain, Loewe has a new 32" HD monitor as for about $3,500. EXCELLENT. Very subdued.

Watching video on this TV is not like watching film but like you were present at the time the film was being shot. It's the TV's abaility to handle motion that sets it apart for all other TVs. Probably the most 3D looking picture I have ever seen on any display device. The built-in line doubler gives a very smooth image.
The 30" Loewe Aconda 16:9 HDTV set is 33" W x 25" H x 22" D.
They have a 32" HDTV that displays 480p, 720p and 1080i. It is $1600. Haven't seen it but it gets good reviews - try the perfect vision web site.
