No, it's not worth it...

...RIGHT NOW. I would advise you to wait. There are very few programs available in HD yet, but as the previous poster said, more are coming. Right now, 99.9% of all programming is still in the 4x3 screen, standard definition.

But if you really need to get a new set, you might go ahead and get the HD ready set.

But be warned, if you do not get a big big big set, you will have to sit really really really close in order to see the benefits of the better picture quality. You see, all HD programs are letterboxed so that if you have even a 36" screen (as I do) the LB pic will be a 32" picture and I assure you that you won't be able to enjoy it if your chair is 14 ft away (as mine is).
