Re: You're probably better off going 32" flat-panel 4:3

"so it really seems like a waste of space to get a 32" when a 26" 16:9 would have nearly just as large display (area occupied by movie content rather than black bars)."

Actually, if you use the calculator in the link I've provided, you'll see you'll actually get a 29" screen size, which while it sounds negligible is actually pretty significant.

FYI, I did not comment on the Samsung's picture quality as I have not seen the set; I just know my friend's Sony WEGA is absolutely stellar on DVDs. And I find it difficult to believe you would NEVER watch anything besides DVDs on your monitor -- no Super Bowl? No CNN after a terrorist bombing or during a war? -- but I could be wrong.

In the end, get whatever makes you happy. I was just trying to help, is all.
