Sort of true. Take Toshiba's line (which I like a lot). The 36inch 4:3 hi-def (36HF71) is about $1699 at my best buy (brooklyn, OH). The 34inch 16:9 hi-def (34H81) is $2349. A difference of about $650. At least it isn't 2x more, I suppose. I guess it depends how easy one can swallow that $650 (in this case). And YMMV from other retailer or other models, naturally.
