The price is about right for the UK; we pay a premium on everything, and that puts it at the start of higher end sets. (for example, Sony BRAVIAs are downt to around $2100 now after being on sale for about 6 months)
"HD Ready" is a European thing that basically guarantees that the set has at least 720 lines of resolution, and will display 720p and 1080i in both 50Hz and 60Hz over Component and HDCP compliant DVI or HDMI.
It is a very useful standard, as many older televisions sold here would not display 50Hz HD signals, or did not have HDCP.
