HDTV : To buy or not to buy?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/HDTV : To buy or not to buy?

After some investigation I came across the following HDTV that 'seemed' value for money:

LG 50PX4D 50 1366x768 for £1186.74 (over a grand for a tv...?)

However, after a quick peek at the added cost of viewing any HDTV quality (instead of 'HDTV's softwares attempts at improving normal feeds) tv, the cost seems way too much for the few channels that are pay per view broadcasted in HDTV (HDTV freeview broadcast is technically possible - it may never happen - too much coin to be made ?)

Anyone took the HDTV plunge and want to share their experience ? is it vfm ?

After a quick look at the Which website's findings, unless anyone thinks otherwise, I'll be sticking with my CRT Telly. A 50 inch PC monitor for just under 1200 quid seems appealling however.....
