So save your money and buy an HD telly in four years time. Don't forget though that there is an "optimal" viewing distance for HD. There is also a distance beyond which the eye is incapable of telling the difference.
Not going to restart that particular debate but do a google for "hd viewing distance" and make your own mind up.
Oh yes, sorry, too late you've already wasted your hard earned haven't you!
