Probably the 32" 4:3

If you are going to be using this set a lot for just watching regular TV, I would suggest a 4:3 set with a shrinkable scan raster for anamorphic DVDs. I don't like the stretch mode on 16:9 TVs, and many people apparently find the alternative gray bars along the side of the 4:3 picture somewhat annoying. The material I watch on my TV is over 90% 4:3, so I was comfortable going with the Sony 43" digital RPTV. I am frankly surprised at the number of widescreen sets on the market--if you have a lot of HDTV available or the majority of your TV viewing is 16:9 DVDs, fine, but I don't think most people fall into those categories.
