No. I think part of the definition of HD is that it's widescreen format although I'm sure that there are some HDTV sets in 4:3 size but why bother? I was like you, the several thousand dollar custom furniture didn't fit accomodate a larger screen presentation. The good news is that now she can participate in buying new furniture. Of course you could always go with the wall mounted variety which typically has a high WAF. That's still going to leave racks for the gear, which typically get no WAF.

I spent a long time looking for the right pieces to accomodate a 55 inch LCD rear projection. Along the way I found several nice pieces including some really nice looking Ethan Allen solutions. In the end I went a different route but there are several choices and one is surely bound to please the wife. In the end it can easily add a couple thousand dollars to the cost of HD, but for me it was worth it. Your results could of course vary.

Good luck,
