Three months ago I went from a 32" Panasonic(4:3)to the 30" Toshiba(16:9) and, so far, I have no regrets. I sit about 8 feet away from the TV for watching cable and about 5 to 6 feet away for DVD's and LD's. I mostly use the TW1 mode for basic cable and I have watched several of my 4:3 DVD's in Natural (4:3) mode.
YANKEE DOODLE DANDY was incredible. Hope this helps.
