HDMI 1.3: Is HDMI 1.3 built into this TV?

No it is not built into this TV and no it is not needed to view Blu-Ray movies. However I hear 1.3 will deliver better performance.

You would want to check and see if it is HDMI capable. I cannot remember honestly.

HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 both are rated at the same MHZ and bandwidth, so it should work based off of specs, however, 1.4 allows for the use of "ARC", audio return channel. I do not know if it will support ARC.

It doesn't say anything about HDMI 1.4. It says it's the latest version and is ethernet capable. I use it with my smart tv with HD satellite and have been very satisfied. I also use it with another HDTV and HD BluRay player and am satisfied as well.

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

I don't know what hdmi 1.4 is, but I can tell you we have a Panasonic VT60 (http://gizmodo.com/panasonic-vt60-television-3000-of-video-perfection-511518667) and it works perfect and also works fine w/ 3D DirectTv channels and panasonic 3D blue ray player. I hope that helps you.

Yes the one ending on 400 is the latest version. I just updated from 300 to this, and it solved all sorts of HDMI intermittent cutout issues I was having.

Yes it does. But only on the HDMI #1 port. I know this was ask several months ago but wanted to answer now in case someone else that just bought one needed to know the answer.

This one has 1.3 for sure. I think all 2007 models have 1.3. Having HDMI 1.3 is not as big as an issue as you may think it is. But if it concerns you, rest assured this HDTV has it.

Not at this time, it has HDMI 1.4. Who knows if HDMI 2.0 will be available via firmware update

I just bought a Samsung LN46A630. In addition to the replies posted re this discussion, I called Samsung directly and they recommended a v1.3 cable. I ordered the Premium HDMI v1.3 cable from Amazon ($9.99). Hope to install this weekend.

I'm sure it will have 1.4Samsung says it is required for 3d, though many people are finding that good High Speed 1.3 HDMI cables will still work, though they won't give you the full benefit of 1.4 like the audio return and networking.

I've looked at all the SONY .PDF files for the 920 (See SONY/SUPPORT.com), and don't find any reference to HDMI 1.3 or 1.3a. Just HDMI.I ordered the 920 because it does every thing I want and much more, with lots of room to expand. I'm just using 5.1 now. It appears, from all I've read, that the 920 is the "latest and greatest" in HDMI output to date. (11/2008) so I wouldn't worry about it. But that's just me...

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.

HDMI is not mentioned because this monitor only has 1x DVI and 1x VGA. No HDMI on this model

Hi....I just checked and do not see any HDMI or other output for this unit. As a side note...the monitor included has a beautiful picture although it's just a 20.

MT - The answer is maybe. I recently purchased a 'new' W7000 through an Amazon authorized dealer and it came with v1.00 installed. the manufacture date of this was December 2011. Worse yet is that I had to send it to BenQ for a firmware update. (They do not allow customers to update it themselves). My guess is that it's a chip change and not just firmware. So now I'm without it for a few weeks. I hate to think I'll ever need to send it back again every time there is a firmware update. RC said that even with the 1.03 firmware, some options on the unit still did not work.
