Since this has already been bumped back up, I'd like to say that the state of the HD union today seems to be that DirecTV has the best HD selection and signal quality after they started putting their new HD channel package online. Picture quality and compression equals that of Verizon FiOS fiber optic cable. This will change, it's a constant battle between the providers and soon enough somebody else will outdo them.
For the money, the Mitsubishi Diamond DLPs are doing some pretty amazing things. I have a 57 inch one and it exceeds the best characteristics of plasmas and LCDs twice the price - with the notable exception of thinness, of course. And always, don't listen to us people on the internet, go out and look at your options in person at a store that knows how to properly set up their display TVs, I.E. not best buy or circuit city.
