Hi,

I want to upgrade my TV and had a look at a few models in Circuit City and
Good Guys.

Considering that I will spend 80% of the time watching cable TV and about
20% watching DVDs and playing Xbox, do you guys think I should go for a
widescreen 16:9 or a regular 4:3.

If I understand my ratios correctly, on a regular TV DVDs will be
letterboxed (black bars at the top and bottom), and on a widescreen cable
will be letterboxed (black bars on the sides).

Also, what resolution system should I go for - 480p, 720p, 1080i? And how do
these various resolutions affect the aspect ratio of the screen.

Am I correct in the assessment that if I spent the majority of my time
watching regular cable, I should go for a CRT-based 4:3 set?

Thanks,
Schiz
