Default Wid-ER-screen TVs

I have been a long term adopter of broadcast HD. Just recently received an addiction to buying movies, and decided if I was going to be spending that much money, I might as well throw it to one side of the war or the other.

My ssecond high defintion TV, about five years old, only have 1080i definition. I've been kinda waiting to get a new TV until the 2009 mandatory broadcast exchange. The more and more BDs I get though, it makes it harder and harder to keep the 1080i, tolerable, but makes me wanna look.

On to my question, sorry I'm verbose: Are there any companies that are planning on producing or actually producing televisions that are in the 2.4:1 ratio? In my opinion, I might as well get a TV as wide as anything is filmed in (I assume aspect ratios won't get more varied, only more regular, but would be more than willing to watch 16:9 movies with side bars on a 21:9(2.4:1) screen if I could watch all film/2.4:1 ratio movies in full screen.

So in short, does anyone make a wider aspect television screen?
