For me that (no HD) would be a deal breaker. I already run quite a bit of HD signal to my current TV, and I plan on running a lot more.

As far as picture, I looked at getting one of the Sony XBR Plasmas. As far as I can tell, they have by far the best picture. At the moment though the benefits of plasma dont offset the high price vs. DLP for me. Though currently I am running a 65" Toshiba RPTV

So you know. I am normally not a sony fan at all, but they know what they are doing when it comes to TV. I believe they use Hitachi glass but use all their own internals.
