In the next few days i'm getting a WS HDTV that would double as maybe the main HDTV or a second HDTV(den), as right now i have a Samung(03' model) 4:3 27" HDTV and while it's solid, for WS broadcasts or 360 gaming, it's of course out of ratio. So that's why i'm looking into a WS now as the main or for a second HDTV.(<--X360)
The only 30" that would fit in my LR's entertainment center is this Toshiba:

This below 26" Panasonic, i believe is the best choice for a 26" choice, as i prefer it above the Toshiba or any other brand. (i had a 20" Tau a few years back and i loved it's picture quality). And while it lacks 720p upconversion, my DVR upconverts 720p signals to 1080i and i can easily set my Xbox360 to 1080i as well.

The 26" is now on sale for $400, while the 30" runs $800..so for me that extra 4" of screen may not be worth the extra $400, if everything else is basically the same.
The one advantage i see in the Toshiba is it's upscaling of SDTV from 480i to 960i, as the Panasonic just line doubles 480i inputs to 480p.(much thanks for the reply earlier informing me of how it upscales SDTV from 480i-->480p)
What worries me about the Toshiba is the amount of threads complaining about ithe Toshiba line of 26",30" and 34" sets and how many are defective or have some kind of PQ problem.
btw" My entertainment center can only handle a 35" wide set, and the Sony and Panasonic 30" sets..and all other 30" CRT's are just barely wider then 35", some by only 1/2"
TIA, guys for your opinions.
