Mole Says: August 13th, 2006 at 8:58 pm Guess you got to this article before me. I was going to post tomorrow. Anyway here’s my $.02: Well you guys know about the HDMI 1.3 standard and how it can now show a gazillion colors. The guys at AVReview said that now you need a new TV to support the new standard and all your HDTV’s are now junk. If you’ve read here before, that’s not true. The article seems to state that HDMI 1.1 didn’t support 1080p. The new 1080p format should thus be less problematic for HDMI 1.3 than it is for HDMI 1.1 You know as well as I that this isn’t the case. The only reason I could see that you “have” to get HDMI 1.3 is the lipsync feature Particularly handy is a new ‘lip sync’ correction system. Lip sync problems, where people’s mouths move out of time with the words they’re saying, come about through small delays in getting a picture onto a screen caused by the heavy amounts of picture processing many HDTVs apply to their pictures. But HDMI 1.3 sports an automatic video and audio synchronisation system that should make this problem a thing of the past. Hallelujah! So I don’t see a reason to jump on a new HDTV just yet.
