Chad, the 16:9 sets will show a 4:3 program or DVD in 4:3, it just blacks out the sides.
If you have a 50" 16:9 screen and are watching a 4:3 program it will basically be like watching a 40" 4:3 set which ain't too bad.
I recently made the jump to HDTV and I'm loving it, even though I've never actually watched any true HD programs on it, mostly DVD's which aren't really HD but look spectacular anyway.
