You're STILL waiting for a good deal on an HDTV....? The deals have been around forever. I bought a 42" plasma for $700 in 2008!
Also - you'll probably want something bigger than 32", especially if you already have a 32" CRT TV. A 42" widescreen television is the same height as a 32" tube TV; the 42" is just a little wider. There's a common misconception that, "I have a 32" TV now, so I'll just buy a 32" HDTV and it'll be pretty much the same." If you buy a 32" HDTV, it'll look TINY compared to a 32" CRT.
