Best HDTV?

The panasonic 16x9 set is nice. Crisp picture, but I could not get past the fact that the screen was just too small. Ended up with 55" Mitsubishi Diamond series. I highly recommend one if your room can fit it.

If you are looking for the best value right now in HDTV IMHO it is the two Sampo models recently introduced. I own the 32 inch 4:3 and run a dv-37 into it and DVDO from satellite and the picture is tough to beat when properly tuned up. Best thing about it is it come standard with some forward thinking features like not wasting any money on the quality of the NTSC section, and having both RGB inputs and outputs to double as a desktop monitor. I use it for this and found a great driver for it on the internet. Best of all it can be had for $1200 on Ebay.

Sony will be coming out with a 40" tube 4:3 HDTV this late summer early fall. Retail price should put it about $3400.00
I agree with an earlier post, with the limited number of HD shows this may be the best way to bridge the gap until 2006.
What does a 4:3 36" screen measure when viewing a 16:9 program? 33"?
