I'm one of your European readers and live in the Netherlands ;-)
I own a Toshiba 37WL58P (HDTV-ready). The reason i don't use HDTV is very simple. The Dutch-broadcasters have made a mess and it just doesn't work properly at the moment. Just before the WK (worldcup) the broadcasters started big compaigns for promoting HDTV. The few people that were willing to spend 300 euro's for a Samsung-setupbox were very dissappointed because the quality sucked and the HDMI-port just didn't work properly. Because these broadcasters make their own standards, the Samsung-box is the only choice at the moment.
A large broadcaster (UPC) has even currently stopped taking new customers for HDTV because of all the problems they're having.
