Noted on the lifting
Ah, if you don't wan't widescreen then you should be able to get a nice good brand 28" 4:3 for about £200 or so; probably less if you're happy with a no-name box. Personally I would go online to 24-7, electricshop, empiredirect, etc for this sort of thing as, as you say, shops don't tend to stock many 4:3s these days.

I personally wouldn't bother thinking about HDTV or any other future proofing if you're going for 4:3.

You'll still need 2 of you to lift it though!
