sorry chris,

i've just spent the better part of the day surfing the u to the sixth (www) trying to find the "best quality picture you can get" when i realized that you were "NOT" in to home theater...

so you aren't watching movies on this thing...

well, that changes a few things...

because that leaves pornography, video games, sit-coms, sports, and cooking shows.

you don't need HD or 16:9 aspect ratio for any of that. sure, if you're watchin' the Super Bowl or the World Series or the Olympics they will be in High Definition standard, but those few examples are exceptions that prove the rule: almost everything else is 4:3, and will remain so for the intermitable future.

i don't know of any porn in HD, but i'd be happy to do more research in this area.

with the exception of "pong", i have absolutely no knowledge of or interest in video games.

all the network programing is on video tape so you can't justify getting a high-resolution set for that...

i don't know chris...seems to me like you've eliminated everything but a regular television.

what you're looking for is the best picture in a regular 4:3 television set that's bigger than 36 ".

that would be a Proton.

next question?
