I bought a 4:3 HDTV (ready) TV a few years ago because it was much
cheaper than the same area or even width screen in 16:9. On recent
shopping trips I've observed this still seems to be true.
But I'll probably get a 16:9 next time unless the price premium is
just too insulting that I can't make myself do it.
