It's shaping up to be a high-definition holiday season. Sales of HDTVs are expected to climb by about 30 percent over last year. By the time the final whistle blows at Super Bowl XLI in February, about one in five U.S. households will own at least one high-definition television set.

If an HDTV is on your gift list--for yourself or for someone near and dear--you'll be happy to hear the good news:
* Prices have dropped sharply (again).
* The selection of high-def sets, notably big-screen models, is growing.
* Display technologies have improved.
* Early reports on the reliability of LCD and plasma TVs are mostly encouraging.
