Better still would be to get used to watching 4:3 stretched to fill the screen. I know some people find this annoying but it depends on the particular TV's capabilities. Mine happens to be quite good but I have no experience with the Sony version. I can also stretch the HD channels to get rid of the 'broadcast' black bars when they have 4:3 programming - not all TVs have this HD capability.

If you are considering a 34" CRT there are good makes out there other than Sony.
