they look pretty nice, but i thought lcd prices were supposed to drop, a 40 inch for 2800?

I thought the price was going down also. That $1500 for a 32" is pretty high for the low 720p picture. Just wait a few months then they will drop the price when very few sell.

Sounds like for those of us who have waited, we will have plenty of options to choose from when we make the plunge to HD.

@DXR88
When all the new "standards" are finalized and put into place, then I'll look at HD. Until then, I have no desire to waste my money on something that may or may not be around.
It seems to me that new formats (SED etc.) are coming out by the month. Everything that currently exists gets better on steadily quickening cycle.
By the time there is one disc to rule them all, there should be no more surprises around the corner for late adopters.
