Well that would probably be a better situation
to be in as far as overall purchase
longevity, allbeit a more expensive one.I know the HD standards seem more
ironed out, but as to when there will
actually be more HD cable/sat programming
than regular NTSC is up for debate. Some
seem overly optimistic in my mind, me
i think it's 5yrs at least before a
significant (most) fraction of the 'dial'
is HD. That gives you some time to get
usage out of your Sony XBR. By that time
there will be many more choices in
full HD compatible RPTV and prices will
drop even more. I was also almost in the same situation
as you, my 5-6 yr old Sony 46" needed
new convergence ICs, about a 400 bill.
But if i was to buy now, i would
probably buy a HD compatible of some
such w/o HD tuner.
