    Is there a decent priced 16:9 televison?

    as a Chicago neighbor, here's a couple of options: . i ended up buying a Mits 55859 from Barrett's after negotiating between Tweeter / Barret's. there was a suprising amount of 'give' in their initial tag'd prices. by the way, i'm completely hooked on HDTV w/ an attic antenna picking up...
