This Tv is for general use. CATV and dvd. Future HDTV. I am restricted to width and this appears to be the best TV that will fit into the space. I have an RPTV for primary DVD watching but I'd like to get the best performance for the size/price on this monitor as well.
Follow Ups:
Yeah, space is an issue, these large TV's take up more room than you'd expect. It's a bit misleading seeing them in a large showroom... You get the thing home and you have to re-arrange the whole room, just to make things fit and "work". Then you want a few more speakers, and the sofa isn't in the right place, and your rack is in a lousy place to run the wires, etc. etc. One thing I'd suggest is to try to get a stand with casters if you can. Based on what I've seen, the 4:3 high res TV's have the best looking picture, and would be the best overall for all sources. And the smaller screens seem the best because the pixels are closer together. So 32" (of the larger sizes) probably gives the highest quality pic, all other things being equal. I know that small 16:9 TV's are common in Europe, but not here yet. Probably soon, that's why I was asking about your DVD watching. Personally I don't like 4:3 pics stretched to fit 16:9 screens, the vertical distortion bothers me (but not some people), and having the large black sidebars without the stretching seems dumb too. IMO the only time the widescreen is better is with ws movies, otherwise I end up just using the "4:3" portion of the screen.
