It does of course, depend on the size and resolution. You can get Panny 50" plasmas for <$2K now, Pio a little higher than $2K. 1080p is a bit more. DLPs are even cheaper. This is good news for your average Shmoe. Unfortunately, prices go up when you get bigger. I'm looking for something 65-70" for my family room, I can't do DLP, due to rainbows, so the pickins are slim.

A daunting challenge for Joe considering the cost to take full advantage of the new format.
I guess one can start with the player as you stated in an earlier post that the HD software will run with component. Hopefully most will have a display with that at least at this point. That's where I'm planning to start. They can always rent the software so a bit of a savings there initially.
Actually, I expect people to generally start with the display. They are cheap enough-hell, 50" plasmas are about 1/2 the price they were a few years ago. They'll be flying off the shelves next christmas and/or superbowl season. Hopefully players will sell too. What's starting to happen, is that some retailers are bundling TVs and players into a package deal. That should help. Onkyo is coming out with a new HD DVD player this fall-I expect it will be bundled with their new HT receivers that take HDMI 5.1 input.
Lots of pretty toys for the holidays. :-)

PS. Its really not that daunting.
