WHICH WIDE SCREEN HAS SAME VERT. HEIGHT AS MY 36


Hey guys,
Pull out your tape measures!
First off, were measuring screens here, not something else!
LOL.
Seriously, I own a 36" Sony Wega KD-36XS955 4:3 CRT HDTV and the actual screen height, vertically, is 22 1/2 high.
This does not include the chassis, only the actual screen itself.
I like the vertical height of my Sony, but I want a wide screen tv for HD and movies with the 16:9 aspect ratio. I want the actual screen height at least the same vertical height as my 36 incher.
My question is this:
On wide screen tv's, what MINIMUM size would I need to buy to AT LEAST EQUAL the 22 1/2 vertical height of my 36" 4:3 screen Sony CRT?
Remember, this is the actual screen itself, and does NOT include the chassis.
One friend said a 46", another friend said a 50" wide screen, but I need more solid answers from actual owners of wide screens. Neither of my friends actually owns one!
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Audio Girl: your system is awesome you need to go front projection! www.avsforum.com if you can control the ambient light.

My screen height is 50.5" and 90" wide! 103" diag and it was the best thing I could have done for my video system!

www.projectorcentral.com has a LCD/Plasma section also to help you with decision.
