Be careful with the terminology surrounding HD televisions:

From what I could tell at one retailer, 'HD Ready' meant has
Component/HDMI inputs. It said nothing about the resolution/framerate of
the display. HD should ideally mean 1080p (1080 lines, with progressive
scan frames). At the moment it will likely mean 720p or 720i (interlaced
frames), which is an incremental improvement over standard definition
(what we already had).
For my 2c, HDTV seems only just out of the early adopter phase - prices
are still feel high to me. I'd like to wait 6-12 months and see what the
market does. Except, maybe...
