I downloded some HDTV clips for trial which you can play on the pc. I know that no GPU cards can currently display true HDTV, but even those clips looked awesome. even more so because I played a dvd on the pc, then immediately compared it to watching a couple of clips. when I went back to the DVD, i ended up switching it off because it looked so poor!!!
time to save the money for a new tele methinks!!!
if you're interested... files are fairly large, but hey....

There are some DVD players now that will upscale to HD resolutions so the DVDs are watchable on HDTVs.
Also what do you mean most PCs will play proper HD clips, GPUs have been able to display in HD resolutions for ages, you are limited by your CPU speed and amount of RAM though as my Athlon XP 2100 some times stutters alot while playing 720p or 1080i.
