Question Can you recommend a HD ready television?

The only criteria is no bigger than 24 inch. It's for my folks so brand isn't important.

Thank you

My bro' in law wanted to buy a HD plasma, but it turns out that you will have to subscribe to special channels to watch anything, Anything broadcast in HD will be on it's own special channel.

EG, say for example a football game broadcast in HD it will be broadcast as normal on Sky sport's and broadcast in HD on another channel.

It will be years before HD is the norm for TV broadcast's.

I disagree, most TV progs are already made in HD. Once things get up and running it'll start moving on very quickly.

Why do your folks want an HD ready tv?

Are they interested in getting an LCD or plasma for any other reasons?

I'm looking for a HD TV as well. Can't decide if I should pay the premimum and buy one now or wait a while longer for prices to fall.
Does anyone know if this is a good one to go for

Unless you need to replace a broken tv or you've got money to burn, I wouldn't buy an HD tv until the broadcasts are there.
