If I was getting an HD TV today I would really want it to have an DVI-HDCP port on it. Although this standards thing seems to be continually shifting (firewire etc) it seems that the DVI option might be around for a while. That said, I don't know what price point they start showing up at - my Samsung DLP set has one (42" Model for $2800) but that doesn't sound like it's in their price range. I've got a DVD player with DVI and I know the new Pace HD cable box ships with a DVI port so it on it's way here. The risk is a set without it might be forever limited to 480P via composite - and $1,000 to upgrade is insane.
