Buying an HDTV: Get the latest or Save on 2007? {Engadget HD}

Apr 8th 2008 7:16PM Now is a bad time to buy LCD based sets.
Plasma is pretty much as good as it can ever get.
The same for Lcos and DLP systems.

Lcd's are staring to get really good, at the high end. Unfortunately they also cost a lot. In the next two years or so you will see LCD's get good enough that you won't be tempted to ditch your mid level set.

Unless you pay over 4k your set is going to be out performed by a new $1500 tv in 2 years.

To use computers as a reference think of the 486 vs the Pentium and the pentium4 1.8 ghz vs the 2.3 ghz. There is a difference between all of them but the gap is MUCH smaller as of late.
