Is it worth waiting for hdmi 2.0. in the 2014 model to be fully future proof

You can never be fully future proof. Something else will always be on the horizon. However, this receiver can do 4k at 24 fps. That should be sufficient for many years.

I dont think so. It will be same like what is now with 4K TV's very price and not a lot of way how to use it. If you are ready to buy your AV receiver I wil do it now. There is at last 2 or more years before 2.0HDMi devices will get to regular prices. I was asking my self same question and I deside to get my Denon now.

No one can answer this for you. Although it is probably safe to assume that hdmi 2.0 will not matter for at least 3-5 years. 60 fps 4k is all that hdmi 2.0 really gets you that is relevant to your decision. When do you think you will have 60 fps 4k? Probably not for 5+ years.

Most, not all, cables that meet the 1.4 standard can/do also meet the newer 2.0 standard. How? See this FANTASTIC article about the newer 2.0 and see if you even need the new wires. I.e. Basically the 1.4 didn't take need all the extra wires built into the cables but the new 2.0 does make use of all of them etc. http://www.mycablemart.com/help/hdmi_which_one.php Hope that helps!

The main difference is the updated software to the 2014 smart hub. Also the hardware is better, the TV is quite faster!

it is a Panasonic PTAE8000U 1080p Full HD Projector. The ad said 2012 model. I am not aware of a 2014 model...

Previous two answers are no longer correct. Nvidia's gtx 970 and 980 have hdmi 2.0 out.

They are releasing a Matte model, but is only in black has 3 hdmi ports instead of 4. It is model #lnxxa630. It has AMP and 120hz, 40,000 to 1 contrast and so on. I don't think it will have the ability to play videos though.

The reality is tricky. The ports are HDMI 2.0, but only in that they support 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. The display itself is only capable of 4:4:0 (which isn't a valid HDMI subsampling mode), so the higher bandwidth mode of HDMI2 is not actually used (or supported) and you're stuck with half-resolution chroma (in both X and Y) with your 4k luminance. That's fine for games and movies, but bad for sharp, colored text and drawings.

No,pass through 4K at 30fps not 60fps in order for it to be HDMI 2 compliant

If it can do 3D then it can also do a minimum of 4k at 30hz. Here is a good chart for comparison of the different versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison

Great question. Best to wait until HDMI 2.0 is in these TVs (later this year). I was told by a salesman in HHGregg Samsung will be charging for the upgrade, not sure about Sony.

Yes I think you can do this. It would be a good time to up date your other devices with HDMI out puts. You will be glad that you did.

Yes. It did give me a boost from an old standard from several years back, the ATI x1950pro. The HDMI was what I really wanted, and the improved performance is a bonus.

I am not sure what HDMI 2.0 is, but the AVR-1610 does have 5 HDMI inputs that all support 3D and 30/36 bit Deep Color that deliver high definition audio and picture up to 1080p. One of the 5 HDMI inputs is also MHL rated to support a Roku or other streaming media dongle / stick.

LG Lied about this. They promised early adopters that they would be covered for HDMI 2.0. I called them, emailed them etc. etc. They never gave me a straight answer. I emailed the VP who promised this and never got a response.Fast forward less than a year and the new models come out with HDMI 2.0 and they ignore the fools that dropped $16,000 on the first models.My advice is to never buy from them.

Pretty much. Like others have pointed out, you can get some 4k content from YouTube, but to really see what the tv can do you'll need to get something like this. I'd wait for the next generation server which should be out soon.
