It's unlikely that you'd notice a difference with current devices, not many displays and players offer deep color or anything like that. I think my projector has deep color, but my player doesn't, I'm not sure if any player does right now.
Blu-ray and HD DVD discs don't support more than 8 bits of color depth, meaning without a complete spec revision, they can't support Deep Color on the content, even if the player has the hardware to output it.
My Toshiba A-35 player claims it supports Deep Color, but I don't have a display that does, so I have no way of knowing.
But a general question for everyone....If your HDMI cable length is small, let's say 6 ft or less, is there any reason to buy one of these "1.3 compliant" cables, or will any cable do fine?
