I'm looking for a widescreen (16:9) TV in the neighborhood of $2000-3000. I prefer Direct-view, but I would also consider other types. NO rear or front projection, though. One of the constrictions is that I want it to be no wider than 32", and no deeper than 22" (maybe a little deeper would be ok). I would also like it to be flat on top so that I can set my center speaker on it. I've been looking for a TV with this description, and I've had little luck. Most of the TV's I can find are too wide (why does a 30" tube need a box that is 35" wide?). The most promising one so far has been the 22" LCD monitor from Panasonic, but I'm not sure how deep it is (could I put a center speaker on it?). Also, I was hoping to get something bigger than 25" if I could.Any suggestions?

You can get a loewe for around $3500, check out the sensoryscience.com website and view the planus or the aconda,. they make the best direct view 30" widescreen 16x9 tv's on the market today...I just got a used planus for $1500! Hope this helps
if you can go to 33.5" a 34" Toshiba 34HF81 will work (direct view)

Your parameters are quite restricting. Why so many stipulations? I'm not sure that you will find any 16:9 TVs with a width of 32" or less. The top doesn't need to be flat--the top to my Toshiba Cinema series is curved. I use a combination of blu-tack and vibropods to level and stabilize it.The LCD panel will limit the quality of the picture, but if adhering to your parameters is absolutely necessary you may not have too many other options.
I suggest you take a look at the Pioneer SD533. It blew away all of the other sets in the room! I Know I know Pioneer yeah right....Honest to GOD if you check this set out you will buy it!
Well, my reasons for the small size restrictions are that I have a limited space in which to put the TV, and I'd rather not have to buy a new rack. Though, I may just go ahead and get a new rack to remove the restrictions on my TV size. Even so, I think it's ridiculous for a 30" TV to be 35" wide.I really don't want a RPTV because I just don't like them. I would like direct view, LCD, or Plasma (though too expensive). Any suggestions without the size restrictions?
look at the panasonic CT30WX50------it is a 16:9 Tube that should fit into your space.
I was initially very interested in the CT34WX50, but I think it is a little too large for what I want. I've tried to find the CT30WX50 with no luck. I can find no information about it online, not even panasonics own website has it listed. Any idea where I can find more about this?Thanks for the suggestion. If I can find the CT30WX50, I think it will really work well. I hope it also has the same features as the 34" inch version but smaller.
I have seen the Panasonic 30wx50 at Harvey and Tweeter, both in NJ, for about $2300. Ken Crane's may also carry in Cal area. As JandR carry the 34wx50 for about $2300, I wonder if someone would sell the 30 inch for less? Also, Samsung sells a 30 inch widescreen for about $2000, but in a very wide box. Meanwhile, I'm looking at a Panasonic 32hx41 at JandR for $1250 (plus high shipping though}as an hdtv alternative to widescreen. Any reaction to the 32hx41?
the reason I know about the ct30wx50 is because I work for a retailer. look for either a PARA Member or PRO Member Retailer. You also might be on the right track if you find a retailer that carries the Panasonic Plasma Line

Sony Wega TVs look quite nice. I love my Toshiba Cinema Series. If I were you I'd stay away from LCD or plasma--the quality of these technologies simply can't compete with a tube.You may want to look into RPTVs again. I have seen several that rival the quality of their smaller direct-view bretheren.
I really beg to differ with you regarding the plasma's. true some of the 42 inch versions are not that good (since it is physcially impossible to put 1920 pixels horz. on a 42 inch). the 50 inch versions are far superior to a picture tube. to name two units panasonic and elite by pioneer
