The new TV is a Sony 52" LCD and most of the time I'm watching television instead of movies. I really hope it turns out it has a better picture then what I have now.

The old TV isn't really that old. ~5yrs. But it's a 56" Sony Rear Projection Analog TV and I thought the picture was pretty good and I'm hoping that this new TV is better.

I do not want those black bars on the side all the time for regular TV. I even stressed this point when talking with the numerous (non-commission) sales people before purchase. It has a zoom in type feature but it still looked good on their Digital Cable TV.

If this doesn't work out like I'm thinking I'll be bummed. So I hope it's something we can live with.
