HDMI 1.1 vst 1.3: My understanding is that this TV will use HDMI 1.1 Can it be upgraded to HDMI 1.3 later ?
2091245
HDMI 1.1 and 1.3 use the same cables and connectors. HDMI 1.1 can transfer enough data to do 1080p at 60Hz. There is no way this TV (or any TV currently on the market) can handle any more data than that. HDMI 1.3 is a target that TV makers will be shooting for in a couple years. Here is a press release from hdmi. http://www.hdmi.org/press/pr/pr_20060622.asp "Products implementing the new HDMI specification will continue to be backward compatible with earlier HDMI products." Don't fear, your PS3 will work great.

There is a thread on avsforum that has all the info. Just search for this TV set. I believe it said that the built-in apps generate 5.1, but it will not pass-through 5.1 from say a bluray player or chromecast

Can my existing HDMI 1.x devices be upgraded with HDMI 2.0 features?Currently, there are no provisions for doing such an upgrade. Because of the new enhanced feature set, any such conversion would require hardware and/or firmware upgrades. If there are such conversions, it would come from the manufacturer. Sony has upgraded the firmware on this receiver already with new features, but there is no way to know if this receiver has the hardware capability to do HDMI 2.0 or if Sony would support such an upgrade. If I had to guess I would say no. Sony would rather sell you a newer model. Any answer here is just a guess until Sony releases additional info. Contact Sony directly...

This simply a straight thru adapter, it has nothing to do with HDMI 1.4 standard. if you'd like to stream 3D movie, you should go with High Speed HDMI cable. I used this adapter to connect a 50 feet long HDMI from surveillance camera DVR to a 55" HDTV 1080p in living room and the video quality is incredible. Hope this help.

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

I have the same problem 5.1 only seems to pass thru HDMI 1. I have to connect my bluRay player directly to Amp to get 5.1

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.

I asked nvidea about their lack of updates on their compatability list, and if newer versions of hdtv's were compatable. The guy stated firmly that if hdtv is not on compatability list, it will not work. I got no answer why they don't update list for newer tv's.

If you're talking about a regular tv you can't, not with the included software. You'll have to buy a separate software program that uses the i1 display pro.

did you get your answer? I have the same tv and want to know if it supports audio return via hdmi

You must have a very late model, higher-end receiver with HDMI 1.3a to decode these new audio formats. Otherwise, via the optical port, you will continue to get regular DD or DTS.

Please review the capabilities of HDMI 1.4 (a quick search on Wikipedia has a easy to understand definition). The capabilities of this capability shows that this cable supports all the requirements of 1.4. So yes it is HDMI 1.4Compatibility- Supports 3D Content- Guaranteed 4Kx2K, 1440p, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i Resolutions- Supports Audio Return Channel- Supports Highest Refresh Rates Available- Supports Transfer Rates of Up to 340Mhz or 10.2gbps- Supports True HD Dolby 7.1 and DTS-HD Master Audio- HDCP Compliant

The device, "take out" the HDMI audio signal and deliver it in 2.0 or 5.1, so yo can use older devices. So far it works perfectly for me. Good Luck

No TV made can decode HD bitstreams. Some receivers can, but it is irrelevant. Only computers can currently send deep color. It is not part of the spec in any of the old/new media. Having HDMI 1.3 is essentially useless on the TV.

I checked Vizio's website. Here is the link to the latest firmware update for the VM230XVT:http://www.vizio.com/vm230xvt.html#supportGood Luck!

What is the difference between an HDMI 1.3a cable and an HDMI 1.3b cable? I've seen both here on Amazon.
