If you leave the 4:3 image unstretched, I think my model does do a better job than most RPTVs in the same size range (40' to 50"). It helps that it isn't that large. The larger the picture, the more imperfections you can see. Your impression will mainly depend on how good your signal is now and how large your current tv is.
If you plan to stretch/zoom the 4:3 picture to fit a widescreen TV, there are better models than mine with that (Toshiba and Pioneer for example). The WT-42313 may also be equal to those, but I haven't seen one to compare. I will say that I do stretch the picture in most cases for 4:3 TV watching to prevent burn in and in most cases, I'm OK with the results.
