As much as I'd love to spend $/£1300 on something like this, I don't have the spare cash at the moment.
In the interium I am thinking of getting a 19" LCD Monitor for £200 to replace my 21" TV - I know the formats are not quite the same so the 19" will be smaller, but I need a tv that accepts Svideo (mine does not!). Its that or spending £500 on a 32" WideScreen non HD TV , but I do not see the point as in a few years we will have HD tv in europe (UK eventually....) so I'd be replacing that again (and by then LCD tv's will be half/third the price they are now). Am I makeing a mistake?
