BTW, you are going to LOVE the 50 when it shows up. I'm happy to see you were able to find one - they are pretty scarce (that whole supply/demand thing). I REALLY can't wait to see the new 58". Post your impressions of the 50 when you get it.

well I ordered it from a Panasonic flagship dealer outside of Richmond about a month and half ago and Pannys been real slow getting them out. Last I heard it'd be "a week or two", of course that was two weeks ago! Doesn't really matter though cause my DirectTV isn't installed yet and I'm leaving for Disney World in a week. (Darn!!) Oh, I'll definetly post a review once I get it up on the wall, and I might even post some pictures!

>>51" x 120" screen baaaaaaaaby, now that is what I'm talkin about.

OK, it does fit... just... and one of my friends who designs and decorates high end offices for a living thinks she can get some spiffy automated blackout blinds for a song...

Randy, does that lens make things wider or just shrink the picture vertically ? I'm still looking at the basement for a real HT; looks like I can squeeze about 10 feet from lens to wall without having to cut a projector-shaped hole in the steel beam that holds up the main floor... so if the anamorphic lens stretches rather than shrinks and I pick my projector carefully I *might* be able to make this work...

For now, we just finished hauling the 32" CRT up to the loft and I am *not* carrying that back down again soon, so 32" 4:3 it is for a while. If someone can post a link to some inexpensive anamorphic glasses then presumably I could wear them when I wanted to watch in 16:9 ?
