You could also get a 4:3 digital TV with a vertically compressible scan raster so that you won't lose any performance on 16:9 DVDs. This is what I did, getting a Sony 43" rear projection, and I am pretty happy with it. DVDs tend to look very good, but most of my cable channels have problems.The problem is that the signal is being run through the less than superlative, though not awful, line doubler in the TV, and you then view the image on a relatively big screen. So you have a signal that was not real great to begin with and then have some digital debris added from the line doubler on a screen much larger than what one typically would have had on their old direct view TV. One will simply not be able to get a good picture on a marginal source, including some of the DSS systems. One could try investing in a better quality external line doubler or scaler; I have considered this but am uncertain if the degree of improvement would justify the investment.
