Within the last year got a Panasonic 34" widescreen pure flat
got it for $1500 at Circuit City. I was originally in love with a Sony 32" plasma, but I got that look from my wife and did not even push the issue.

My personal thought on the use of a old TV with a great audio set-up is that the audio fidelity makes up about 70% of your HT experience. So immersing yourself into a movie is much easier with awsome sound and a crappy TV, rather than the reverse. Then again what do I know?
