My Phillips 60" is a 4:3 HDTV. If you don't mind the dull gray, the wooly stock speakers, and the lack of name brand cache, it's an awesome deal at Costco for $1299.
Does 1080i apparently, but all I've seen is the progressive scan output from my DVD player. Awesome picture - couldn't be happier.
The old shape is definitely a plus for standard TV broadcasts, IMO.
