If you don't have a 1080p display, right off the bat, I can't imagine much appreciable PQ benefit.

And remember: There's a lot of hype and specs on HDMI 1.3, but has anyone really seen that kind of thing come to pass?

Have there been demoes put up yet with "before/after" HDMI 1.3 where anyone has seen anything appreciably different?




IF that criteria you just spelled out is met by the player, I can't see how HDMI 1.3 benefits you at all.

I think HDMI 1.3 is cool, but frankly, overrated and overrstated in terms of "importance."

People are planning on these expensive upgrades for $3000 HDMI 1.3 receivers and such, and for what?

IF the player you get decodes over multichannel analogs...isn't that good enough?

It certainly would be for me. YMMV.




How the hell is it that a $500-$600 videogame console like the PS3 is going to have features that trump >$1000+ standalone players? (HDMI 1.3, for example.)

That doesn't make sense.
