I would recommend a standard digital wide screen CRT RPTV at this point and would caution against used since the used set would most probably have been run in the "torch" mode as shipped and would have a short life. I would further recommend a professional calibration by a trained ISF technician for both best picture and longest set life. SONY makes a wonderful series of these in four siizes from 43" to 65" ans the feature a wide variety of options and inputs and have the 2/3 pull down algorhythm for movies on video. These hover around the $2K price pint depending on size. Add a progressive scan DVD player and you're in business for a long time.
