IMO, now is as good a time as ever to go HD. Regular 720p or 1080i HDTV's are now the norm and the "new" cool, more expensive stuff is the 1080p. That being said I just bought a 55" Sony Rear Projection DLP a couple months ago and I couldn't be happier. The difference between regular digital cable and HDTV is mind boggling.

As far as the LCD vs. Plasma and all that, I would say that unless you really want to hang your TV on the wall or are REALLY cramped on space, then get a rear projection DLP. They are not as big as big screens used to be and only weigh 80-90 pounds for a 55". They are about 14" deep in the back.

As far as the DVD players are concerned, I have just a regular 480p progressive scan and it does the job. I would wait until maybe next year to look at Blu-Ray or anything like that.
