Hehe, for others, for for myself?

The "others" on my list aren't much into gadgets.

For myself, I'm spying a small HDTV. I never cared much about HDTV, saw
the demos, was never really impressed ENOUGH to consider one.

However, my latest project at work was developing hardware to drive
SDTVs, HDTVs and computer monitors at all resolutions. That work had me
deep into research mode on HDTV standards, and now for some reason I'm
interested in getting one myself! :)

At the moment the only source of HDTV I've got is my XBOX360. I've never
really been blown away by the image quality on my XBOX until I played
one on an HDTV, and it is a different dimension when you play on an HDTV
vs. a 480i screen. My satellite provider offers quite a bit of HDTV,
however I won't get that for a while since I can't watch TV anymore
without a PVR, and the PVR HDTV sat receiver costs as much as the TV!

If I don't go for the HDTV, I have no clue what I'll get myself...
