I think you will find that virtually all 27-inch, 32-inch, and 36-inch 
TV sets that are said to be HDTV have 4:3 screens.  There is also a fair 
number of larger HDTV sets with 4:3 screens.  The Consumer Electronics 
Association's definition of an HDTV set does NOT preclude a 4:3 screen.

I think you will also find quite a few plasma TVs in this country that 
are 16:9 but only SDTV.  In Europe and Japan, you will find huge numbers 
of 16:9 SDTV sets.

TTFN,
Mark
