As was written, all of the 16:9 screens have a stretch mode. They take the 5:4 picture and stretch it to the wide screen. Some are clearly better at doing that than are others. One of the best at it is Toshiba, and I suggest you look at a Toshiba set and decide for yourself. They must use a very fancy algorithm because I think they do an amazing job of it.

Of course, if you are certain that you're not going to watch much wide-screen material, you've answered your own question.

However, as someone wrote, wide screen will more and more become the norm.
