Pioneer puts new PDP factory on hold

HDMI 1.3 does more then support higher quality audio streams. Bandwidth is increased to 10.2 GB. Support for 30, 36, and 48 bit color depths with several billions of shades of color compared to 16.7 million today’s sets have. Also has improved lip sync for audio with better specifications for compatibility between two devices.
Here is a picture of a front projector in Japan that uses 48-bit color depth with a HDMI 1.3 connector.

Yup I agree with what he says above.

Plus the fact the presence of deep color option for the PS3 (via HDMI 1.3) is something that I want as well.

I did not realize that. Thank you for the info HDTV.

I thought most TV sets were limited to around 16 bit color decoders? Wouldnt this limit the usefulness of these higher bit rates or is this something different?

New displays are being designed in the lab to take advantage of 48 bit decoders. In late 2007 and 2008 hopefully we will see some of these new products in the US.
