One nice compromise TV you should consider is the Sony Wega (Vay-Guh) XBR. Those have circuitry that can vertically stretch a DVD movie should you choose. This slightly distorts the images, but does use more of your screen. I have one and find this feature makes the DVD's much more enjoyable. Now DVD's just make my 36" TV look like a 20" instead of a 13". I'm so thankful! The new generation XBR400 has built in HDTV decoding.
If you are building a Home Theater with the intention of playing DVD's, I recommend a large 50"+ widescreen TV. DVD's are the way to go, and you need a large widescreen to enjoy them. I notice that the tv show ER plays in widescreen.
