Panasonic CT-34WX50 34" HD-Ready TV with TAU PureFlat Screen
I love this TV!
This was the best bang for my buck value I could find in widescreen HDTVs, without getting the super thin plasma screens. It looks really cool, and the picture is very nice. There's no HDTV in NYC, so I can't attest to how good that looks, but if you're looking for a widescreen TV, you should definitely consider this.
