This depends on what kind of programming you expect to be watching over the life of your Digital TV. If you plan to watch a lot of existing analog programming with a 4:3 aspect ratio, then a 4:3 aspect ratio screen is more suitable. However, if you watch a lot of widescreen DVD-Video movies and plan to enjoy HDTV programming in its native widescreen mode, then a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen) Digital TV/HDTV is the better choice.
