I haven't read all of the postings in this thread, so please excuse me if this is repeated information.I don't know if there is a comparable model in the UK, but the Sony XBR 34" 16:9 (widescreen) is about the best looking set in the consumer market at any price. It's around $2000 here.
If you spend $30,000 and up, you can get a 3-chip projector that looks almost as good but is a lot bigger. Everthing else pretty much sucks.
If you can't get the Sony XBR, try and get a widescreen CRT with progressive scan inputs. This will look pretty darn spectacular with a good DVD player. All of the new technologies suck in comparison and cost a lot more to boot.
