yikes, you're asking us to predict the future...

how badly do you need a new TV? if you have one that works I'd say hold off, but if yours broke or you don't have one then go for it.

i still have the same 13" TV that i got for christmas when I was 9 years old. it still works so I can't bear to get rid of it, but that's just the way I am. I need it to break before I can justify getting a replacement.

also, think about your price range. The HD models will come down in price substantially within the next few months probably, but they still won't be anywhere near your basic run of the mill 27" color TV.

if you're not willing to put a good chunk of money into it, then waiting isn't going to do you any good and you should just get the regular TV now.

besides, you're young! save your money for big TVs and other cool toys for when you get your own place and can impress girls
