    If your looking for a 16:9 aspect ratio, your going to spend just as much money for a tube TV as you will on a flat panel.

    Since you already have all the audio shit, you can find a very good display that only does display for around the price you'd want to pay.

    http://reviews.cnet.com/Televisions/2001-6475_7-0.html?tag=cnetfd.dir

    Cnet usually has pretty good reviews to base your decision on.

    Another sidenote: not all HDTV's are created equal; some display higher resolution 1080p, not 1080i. I guess what have you to ask yourself is, are you going to be dropping the money on the next gen DVD style format (which ever wins), what screen resolution are you going to be happy with, and how much does picture quality matter to you. Best way to decide is to go view some side by side, and make the call if its worth the extra money or not.

      All this makes me not even want to get a TV.

      Now I don't know what I want.

        If you're interested, you could stop by my place, I have a 34" 16:9 HDTV (Toshiba). You can check out the clarity and size it up.... They're running just under a grand now....

          theres a 30'' widescreen HDTV at best buy for $449 i think...i know its the insignia brand but let me tell you, i bought one of their cheap 5 dvd 6.1 Prologic II/DD All-in-one surround sound things and I thought it would be cheap and lacking features, but it pretty much covers everything id ever want....and everything works great, sounds great, and seems like its every bit as good as other shit...i was looking at a standalone receiver with an auxiliary DVD player that cost about $100-200 more and i got recommended to stay with the insignia...

          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

            I don't know what I want. I don't know if a grand is really worth it for a 34" TV. I have some deciding to do.

              i got a hidef a few weeks ago and an upconversion dvd player and i wouldnt have it other any way. my only complaint is i wish i would have gone plasma... the glare off your windows at five or six at night is irritating.

                  I went and saw the insignia. It was OK. I saw the toshiba, it was REALLY nice, but a little bit too spendy. It was weird. Some of the 16:9's were cutting off parts to the left and the right that the more expensive ones were showing.

                    1080P's are still really new, and whoa, spendy! seems like alot more just to get more fps.

                    im looking to buy a 32"+ LCD for my room for a TV and computer monitor...HD for sure, due to the fact that im going to use it for computer purposes also....
                    quite honestly, my ED plasma with a 1080i signal and regular component wires still blows me away whenever i see it, and its been over a year.

                    if any of you fargo guys get discovery HD, check it out. that channel blows any other away in terms of picture quality.

                    any recommendations on a LCD? im looking to spend about or under 1k.

                      There's a setting on most TV that handle the "stretch". Non HD programs are 4:3 so fitting them in a 16:9 screen can be handled 3 or 4 different ways...

                        I see.

                        Also. The insignia was looking really nice, but it's 38 inches wide, and I need one smaller than 35.5.

                                    I've been looking at smaller LCD's lately too and from what I've seen, the bigger name brands have much better picture quality than the off name brand tvs. I'm personally leaning towards the 23" LG LCD TV. There are 2 seperate models of that tv, the difference being that one has a built in DVD player. If I buy it, I'll be getting it through Team since I just happen to work there. If you guys are looking for a Sony, LG, Toshiba, just to name a few, stop into Team and take a peek. I went to Best Buy tonight to look at what they had, and they have a nice selection also.

                                      Team does have some nice TVs. Everytime I come in there I always look at them. great quality tv choices IMO and prices arent to bad either.
