I got an HDTV back in 2003 because some games at the time started running in progressive scan along with a few that even ran in HD. It was a waste. Jumping onto the bandwagon too soon is always a case of "do I really want to blow all this money on something so infantile"? It really comes down to whether you answer yes or not and if that's acceptable to you.
Personally, I'd just get a damn fine 1080P TV. Quad HD television and gaming... by the time it's mainstream, the TV you'd get today will be total ass and pal in comparison to what's available then. So, I'd say buy a kick ass contemporary TV now, and then a 4K tv in 5-7 years when it's really worth it.
