When shopping for my TV, I settled on the Toshiba 52HM84 because I thought it handled regulard broadcast signals better than anything else I saw. This set does, however, only have light grey side bars. It bothered me at first but I got used to it. Now I have Dish Network, and my 811 STB has the option for grey or black sidebars for 4:3 broadcasts. Perhaps the Comcast box would have the same feature. You might look into that, so you have one less thing to worry about when shopping.
