DVR, HDMI inputs on display devices

Since I don't have cable TV (I recognize that only cave men refuse to get cable!), I am considering purchasing the Sony DHG-HDD250 recorder.
I am trying to "future proof" myself in this purchase, at least for the near future . . .
Here is my question I need help on: there is one HDMI output as well as Component-video high-definition outputs.
So when I get a display device in the future, I will get one with HDMI, and hook the Sony DVR directly up to the display device.
I assume that component video high definition output is just breaking the signal into 3 parts), and NOT on par with HDMI. Correct?
If so, then I will need purchase a display device that has two HDMI inputs: one for DVR, and one for upconverting DVD player (or as the case may be, HD/blu-ray DVD player).
Is my understanding flawed? Next question: are they making plasma or LCD displays with two HDMI inputs? Thanking you in advance for your help.
