There are several things that people overlook when buying an HD TV.

Projection HDTVs:
Projection technology is relatively less expensive than a very large HDTV. For example, you can get a 72" projection HDTV that has 1920×1080 resolution from $2500 to $5000 depending on the brand and model.

Plasma HDTVs:
Plasma displays can come in very large sizes equal to projection HDTVs, but they cost a lot more.

LCD HDTVs:
LCD HDTVs are typically very high quality and very expensive for a given size, but they have recently grown in size and dropped in price. You can easily find 32" LCD models with 1366×768 in the $500 to $800 range.

ATSC tuners and free HDTV:
All newer HDTVs have built-in ATSC tuners, which means you can get free high definition content over the air.

Monster Cables:
There is zero difference in quality between the cheapest $12 HDMI to DVI cable versus the $100 gold-plated "monster cable."

I wish I had known they were going to drop $50-$100 in price 6 months after I bought one!

That Olevia HDTVs are basically disposable crap. Already fried a 37" 720p, out of warranty, and my son Wii'd his 32", which is totally out of warranty. On top of that, both TVs had issues with HDMI and HDCP handshakes with cables and devices that work fine in other TVs in the house.
