42 inches is not all that big...

if you use this screen calc you find that a 42 wide screen is really the same as a 34 inch standard def tv... think about, it'll change your mind about size.

we've been shopping for a large flat screen TV for about 2 years and find the whole thing intolerable. dealing with aspect ratios, and resolution. There is nothing worse then watching Standard Def on a HD display without a quality scaler. It boggles my mind that so many people think it look good. Don't even get me started about watching SD letterboxed content ona 16x9 screen, black pillars on the sides and black bars on top and bottom.

The real issue in HD TV is a good quality scaler, and that will cost you as much as some of the lower end screens.
