True, but my video tape collection will stay in 4:3 ratio for decades. No changing that. And my camcorder with my kids videos are also in 4:3, no changing that.

So I guess the question is-- Do you want the black bars now on DVD's, or black horizontal bars on all previous recorded tapes on an HDTV? Even that last part doesn't change in the future.

HDTV's and regular TV's can all be the same width, but regular TV's will always be taller, and thus have more real estate space. I'd take the latter, assuming the 4:3 I am referring to can handle quality HDTV signals as well. Currently, that would be a Sony XBR400 for my living room. HDTV or not, I still don't like the picture quality of a projection.

I need a morphing TV!
