Are you sure it was 40"? I thought they never were able to get them much bigger than 34" in the 16:9 format. As you say, that would be pretty rare.

I've seen 40" sets in the 4:3 format.

The KV-40XBR800 was the Sony with the 40" 4:3 WEGA tube. 34XBR960 I think was the top-of-the-line 16:9 flat tube, which was only 34". RCA's 38" 16:9 tube was curved.

Thanks. Wasn't sure I remembered it correctly.

It may have actually been 4:3 , it was awhile ago and my memory isn't what it used to be...
If I do find out if it was in fact a 40" 16:9 I'll update here with model number.
