Maybe I'm just confused here, but why isn't your set 1080p? It might not take a 1080p input, but I believe the new Toshiba's will correctly display all 1080 lines of resolution from a 1080i source.]]>Oct 13th 2006 3:06PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 1:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 2:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 2:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
Brian: When you are useing HDMI your receiver will make the decoding of the audio, and with 6xRCA the BD-player will do so. And the only thing currently with HDMI 1.3 is the Playstation 3 set to be released soon.]]>Oct 13th 2006 2:23PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 3:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
"Then" is not the same as "Than" (eg. "cost more then a tv.")

I cringe each time you use this incorrectly. BUT... otherwise, a good piece of writing!]]>Oct 13th 2006 2:29PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/JVC is out because of their recently exposed HDCP interoperability problems with tivo.
Is the panasonic sa-xr700 likely to be good, or should one stick with an analog receiver such as the denon avr-2307ci?

Since 1.3 players (2nd Gen Toshiba and PS3) are coming before the end of the year and displays should be showing up soon (new Epson 1080p has it already) if you can wait I would. I haven't even seen an announcement of a 1.3 AVR though so that may be farther off.]]>Oct 13th 2006 3:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 4:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 13th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/]]>Oct 13th 2006 3:23PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
You can according my ears as well!]]>Oct 13th 2006 8:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
The only thing about HDMI 1.3 that I'm willing to wait for is that everything runs in a single cable: Audio, Video & controlls.]]>Oct 13th 2006 4:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
As for the video aspects. If (and perhaps this is a big if) a game supports FP16 HDR lighting 'deep color' support and an appropriate display (Plasma) will be necessary to benefit from the increased color gradients output in such an image. The results would likely be VERY impressive!

There's NO REASON to buy a receiver or TV with HDMI 1.3 right now, IMHO. If it's available, great, but it's not a "must have."]]>Oct 13th 2006 9:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/NOT TRUE. The player will decode TrueHD into PCM, which most receivers with HDMI can accept.]]>Oct 17th 2006 11:52AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/Oct 17th 2006 3:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/13/ask-engadget-hd-is-it-worth-the-wait-for-hdmi-1-3/
Here's my setup: Sharp LC-52D62U 1080p, Denon 2807 and Samsung Blu Ray 1000.

Also, I need to know if my Denon receiver upconverts picture quality to 1080p? The Salesman informed me that it does but I'm not sure. If so, Is it better to hookup the Blu Ray player straight to the TV or bypass through the Denon Receiver for highest picture quality?]]>Jan 9th 2007 12:18AM
