In my honest opinion, (flame suit on), HDTV stinks. Here's why.....
Note: this does not apply if you watch nothing but DVDs...
When you go into a TV shop that carries HDTV, they show the absolutely astounding clarity that the TV CAN achieve if fed with a flawless HD signal. As you know, most TV is not in High Definition at this point, and the majority of TV that you will watch appears as blocky and distorted as an Atari 2600. My in-laws have it, and after the $3500 they spent, I'm just thankful that the bug never bit me.
Until 2006 when all TV will have to be broadcast in High Definition, don't waste your money.
And Thor, just as Best Buy isn't a place where you'd buy a sound system, don't think that TV is any different, quality wise. I know somebody that went through hell buying a widescreen, Circuit City had to deliver 6 screwed up Hitachis before they got one that worked right (which they never did get), and the customer service wasn't all that great either. They ended up getting a refund and buying one from a local video store, and haven't looked back.
