Somewhere up above, you (Bobert) expressed concern about not wanting a big bulky case behind the screen. I don't think you could buy a set like that anymore, even if you wanted to.

Also, while you may feel that you don't "need" a wide screen, you will soon realize that you want one. For one thing, contemporary flatscreen sets are only going to be available that way except in the smallest sizes.

It should not be too hard to learn to set and reset the aspect-ratio appropriately; with satellite service, most of your channels will probably be HD and therefore best viewed on the same setting ("auto") all the time.

At our house, there's only one channel that regularly requires adjustment of the screen-image size and shape: that would be TMC, the old-movie channel. The oldest films fit the almost-square shape of an "old" TV, and are properly displayed on your widescreen set in a sort of "reverse letterbox" format, with black bars at the sides. Newer films come in a variety of different widescreen formats, and my TV provides two "letterbox" settings; one or the other will always fill the screen from side to side without cropping anything off; there may or may not be black bars top and bottom, depending upon the shape of the original screen format.
