I think maybe the high end might be 1440p in a couple years. Two years ago, we didn't even get 1080p except in some of the upper top-end, now it's getting pervasive.
65" is a bit much when half the US households can't be bothered to get an HDTV. A 37"-42" set is a lot more realistic for more budgets, especially if you consider Black Friday sales.

Your right and that's what I was basing my time estimate on. The time that we moved from 720p to seeing 1080p as the popular choice.
As far as who will buy them. I think it'll be popular for people living in the city who have limited space and want to integrate their tv and computer. That's who most of my friends are and the one's who haven't gone in that direction want to. Especially after seeing my setup. 42 is more popular now, but it's too small to be effective for computer use. Especially if you want to telecommute and work from home. You'd get eye strain.
