I just went for a good projection HD set last year and am very happy with it (A hitachi). Guess I could have waited longer for $1000 60-inch sets that are an inch thick but I got sick of waiting already. I look at it this way - how much great color tv did people miss from 1954 to the mid to late 60's till they finally bought a color set and the only thing they saved was a few bucks? Even thru the 70's TV was still basically 25 inch screens standard, not much different than the 19 inchers they passed on for over 10 years, so it's not like they gained a whole lot in TV screen size or picture quality by waiting.
And on top of it, look how lots of vintage tv people like us think it's the REALLY old sets that had the best color reproduction! : () ...Frenchy
