Talk me out of spending a lot of $ on HDTV

I honestly can't see spending 2.5k on a TV when you can get a huge rear-projector (57"+) unit for under 2k.

I picked my mine for $1800 (57" Hitachi) over a year ago and they can only have gotten less expensive...

you can buy a 57 inch HDTV DLP that is NOT huge (about a foot deep, 70 pounds) for about $1800 now.

Where?
I think you're thinking of rear-projection CRTs (not DLPs), which don't look as good, IMO.
