You can't get data that isn't there. Those selling the idea that upconverting can magically make video HD quality are full of shit. Sure it helps, but not nearly to the degree that they try to make it out to be.

Which TV you want/need really depends on where you are setting it up. If you are setting it up in a basement or in a room solely dedicated to A/V shit (i.e. small theater) you could go with a projection HDTV. If the room is more of a casual room, you may want to go the Plasma route.

Regardless, in late 2007 (or maybe mid if they get their shit together) SED TV's will start rolling out. SED is basically the Plasma killer, after SED is released there will be no need to get a Plasma (other than a secondary TV when the prices drop). SED TV's maintain the quality of a CRT screen with the thin-form factor of a LCD. Going to be fucking sweet.
