Geeks.com sent us in a next generation DVD player, the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. The model is the little brother of the HD-XA2 with fewer features, but it's the only HD player that sells at $230 while using the newer, second generation HD-DVD technology.

What double standard nonsense!
You say things like people won't notice the difference in the sound and don't have the equipment, but they will have the right display and will make a difference from 720p?
All this while you don't even have the right display to begin with, so really, do you need that (HD-DVD, BluRay)?
And you say you are technically inclined in your home, which doesn't mean you know enough about HT devices.
If you were so technically inclined towards HD displays, you'd know that the RPTV SXRD are among the best displays (for SD AND HD) and cost less than $2600 for 55". Of course, they are not as slim as LCD or Plasma (yet they are lighter).
Besides, buying 32" 1080 TV is pure nonsense, only people not technically inclined, waved by marketing speech would do that. Because 32" just isn't enough to render the 1080 definition. I'm even pretty sure no 32" display are full HD, they must be 720p display. I'm talking displays for the living room of course, not the ones for PC, which are 16/10 and not 16/9, where you need to have your eyes inches from the screen, seeing in full scale all the defects of LCD displays (screendoor, banding, ...).
