You'll get at least as much screen size for the $$$ and have a better picture if you end up with something like a mid- to high-end Sony WEGA, Panasonic or Toshiba.One popular solution to the dreaded "black bars" costs about $7-10 and is said to work wonders. Buy some black art matte, cut it into two pieces about 4" wide x the TOTAL width of your screen (including cabinet plus 1" on each side, bend the 1" at a right angle and affix Velcro to the side of your TV as well as in the 1" wide "bend."
When playing a 1.78:1, 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 movie, simply move the mattes up or down to block the "black" bars on your TV (which, owing to direct view technology, are not true black anyway). Control your lighting, and you might be surprised at how "film like" the picture is.
