I think I've commented before that for a variety of source and selection reasons, HD has a long, long way to go before it should be THE primary criteria in selecting a normal-duty (non-HT) TV. After seeing the prices for DLP (and plasma) I bought a superb CRTRP HD set on close-out as a bridge until HDTV technology settles down and content improves. I paid less than 50% of what it sold for one year ago. No way I'm investing a quick-to-devalue $5K to watch the stuff thats out there.

If you have a Good Guys in your neck of the woods, I saw a 42" Sylvania (Low-end LG?) ED plasma on sale this week for $1600 that looked just as good as any of its competitors sitting in the display.
