Low-end Widescreen TV\'s?
We are considering buying a new TV, and I wondered whether it is currently worth considering buying a widescreen model?
When you see TV shows (eg: ER, Enterprise) with the black bars top & bottom - would you be able to fill the widescreen TV with that even if you're on basic cable?
How big a screen do you need? I saw a 30in. Sanyo at Walmart for a low price, but it looked quite a bit smaller than our current standard format 27in. - so is a 34in. the minimum?
The old school CRT TV's look brighter (and cheaper) than the projection models - any thoughts?
And as to brand names - any feedbag on the big brands - Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Samsung, Sanyo, Philips, etc.?
Thanx in advance - any leads on these questions would be most appreciated...
