Hello 
I'm thinking of getting a 4:3 TV with a 16x9 compression mode. It would also be nice if it is a digital TV so it can display 480p images.
But this is my main question ...
When watching a 16x9 enchanced DVD will the image look just as good on a 4:3 tube with 16x9 compression mode VS a true 16x9 tube television.
I watch a lot of TV and have alot of television programs on DVD that are in the 4:3 ratio and though I love widescreen I don't think I can handle black on the sides of a 4:3 image on a 16x9 set. It just sounds disturbing. But I'm more than used to black on the top and bottom of a widescreen image. As silly as that sounds that is my reason for wanting a 4:3 set VS a 16:9 set but at the same time I would like to be able to enjoy the increased resolution in 16x9 enchanced DVD's hence my wanting a 4:3 with a 16:9 compression mode.
So first and foremost I am interested in what you guys think of the quality of a 4:3 TV in 16X9 compression mode VS a true 16x9 tube.
And secondly, can anyone recommend any 4:3 TV's that fit my requirements?
Thanks all!
