I know this because I researched for close to a year before pulling the trigger on an HDTV. I bought a Toshiba 50" DLP. Got it home, set it up, and was horrified by the picture quality of almost all the non-HD channels. I took it back, got my refund and got myself a Panasonic 42" Plasma EDTV...Vast improvement over the DLP on the non-HD channels and the HD channels still look pretty damn sweet (much, much better than a regular TV). I couldn't be happier with my purchase, especially when I go over to friends' places and watch the regular channels on their HDTVs.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the ED vs HD thing. If you find a set you like, and can afford, buy it. By the time ALL channels are HD, you'll likely be ready for another new TV anyway.

Bottom line, I don't feel like I'm missing anything with my EDTV, and likely you wouldn't either.

I have a Toshiba 52" DLP and the regular channels look great. Did you hook via RCA jacks or just with coax? I don't understand why anyone would get an EDTV vs a HDTV, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
