Absolutely. I'm sure there will be others who will chime in on the differences in resolution (480i all the way to 1080p), but I'm just going to say that yes, there is a big difference.
Of course, it depends on what type of programs you enjoy watching. More and more channels are beginning to get HD variations and they are also going to digital programming in the next few years. A good HD tv will handle that, no problems.
As a sports fan, I would encourage you to go look at TVs on a sunday afternoon at your local electronics distributor. Check out the quality of the pictures when football is on! Have them run a DVD of something with fine details. You should be surprised at the level of detail you can see.

HD TV can offer an amazing experience if you have the right gear and set it up properly. You will need a HD TV. That means the TV is labelled "HD Ready" not "HD Compatible". Only HD Ready TVs have the necessary resolution to properly display a HD signal. You will need a HD source. Typically that means a HD box from your service provider - either satellite or cable. If you live in a large metropolitan area you might be able to get HD signals for free with an appropriate antenna. Make sure the TV you buy has an ATSC tuner to make this possible. Lastly, you need to hook up the TV to the HD source correctly. If you're using an antenna you will use the RF connector on the back of your set; it's the screw-on connector labelled AIR or Antenna. If you're paying for service, the provider will supply, for a fee, a converter box that must be connected with Component Video cables or HDMI cable. S-Video or Composite cable (the yellow one) don't have the bandwidth for HD TV.

yes, the clarify in HD form is amazing it almost seems 3D. My parents and my inlaws both have HD flat screens. You feel like you just want to jumop inside the tv. You can see the wrinkles and details in peoples faces, its pretty neat. However I don't own one but still enjoy my favorite programs just the same. HD is especially great for watching football or nature programs

True HD has a tuner capable of picking up the broadcast signal that they are going to fully covert to in the year 2009.
If the set can't pick up the new stations that are now on the air--it is not the HDTV everyone is talking about.

The photo appears bigger then common on a CRT (fats) TV. Either approach, the photo can be amasing and the sport isn't going to freese to any extent further almost always on a CRT TV in comparison to a LCD TV.
