Answer 1

The Sharp is superior, but I'd recommend a Panasonic or Sony, or even Toshiba in a 32" 720p/1080i LCD.

A simple size comparison between 4:3 and 16:9 screens is to measure the height of your CRT screen, assuming it is a 4:3 (not the diagonal measurement) and duplicate that HEIGHT measurement on the 16:9 screen. A 32" LCD 16:9 will probably appear a smidge smaller that a 30" 4:3.
