I'm looking to put a weatherproof hdtv on my patio. I'm looking for a 32" to 37"(maybe 42", but I probably can't afford that). Any ideas?

I'm only aware of one current weatherproof HDTV out there, and it was available in the range of sizes that you mention. I saw it at CEDIA, and was very interested in it, but don't remember the details. I seem to remember that it was a 3rd-party company that made a modified version of another manufacturer's OEM product, and that it was weatherproof.
Me living in Alaska, I even asked about extreme weather, and they had solutions, such as a mini-heater that kept the internal componentry from freezing in arctic climates.

There's a actually a few companies making them, but they cost about 3-4 times as much as an equivalent normal TV. Here's one company:

Unless it's not covered by a roof or along the outside perimeter, you would be better off buying a cheap one and replacing it every 2-3 years.

I wonder if I would be able to just enclose it in plexiglass or something...

I need to replace an old Pioneer 4:3 RPTV that died.
I have checked out modern 16:9 HDTV RPTV's that my friends own and they uniformly have terrible pictures when viewing standard 4:3 non-HDTV programs. The pictures are fuzzy, ill-defined, and almost not watchable. I don't know why but... -

Hi,
I went looking for a 42 plasma today with my girlfriend.
We both agree that the panny's give a good picture. But with the choice over HDTV or EDTV (a lot cheaper) it was a bit harder. I would like to go for a HDTV to be a bit more future prove (altrough with the SED TV's comming...
