HDMI 1.3 vs. 1.4 for the Toshiba 55WX800 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz Cinema Series 3D LED TV

If you want to view 3d material you'll need a 1.4 cable. The cables are backwards compatible so even if something in your setup is only 1.3 you'll still be able to use a 1.4 cable. Brand of cables for digital material really doesn't matter. So a $80 premium cable will not carry a better picture then the amazon basics $8 cable.

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.

Considering that HDMI 1.4 can only do 4k@30hz (so 30 frames per second), I'm not sure how the this translates to the actual panel being capable of 120hz unless they are referring to lesser resolutions. HDMI 2.0 is supposed to support 4k@60hz. I am interested in 4k/8k resolutions primarily for PC. Displayport supports 4k@60hz but typically it's used for the PC market.

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...

From what I have been able to find out about these cables, they are 1.4. They are supposed to support 4k and 3D. I am using 2 of them and have had no problems with Blue Ray.Hope this helps

I have not noticed any issues while using the PS3. Since the 71 and the PS3 have HDMI 1.3a, take advantage of monoprice's HDMI 1.3a prices. The bluray picture pops and even has a 3D effect.

Not an expert, but I believe the refresh rate was increased to 120HZ to get better resolution to the screen. If you go to 3D, from what I see, is engineered to 240HZ, and show even better resolution. So, I think it's something that's engineered into TVs, and is reflected by the various pricing.

Also, and a big one IMO, this model has three HDMI inputs opposed to the 62U's two.

Gamble, The other BIG difference is that the 65's HDMI inputs actually ACCEPT 1080p vs. being 1080p COMPATIBLE and scaling down to 1080i only to reformat it back to "P" like the 61. Go for the 65...I was in the same boat as you until I found that out reading my Crutchfield catalog. Only makes sense for HD-DVD (now a dead format) and Blu-Ray

Well, i own a panasonic blu-ray (3D) Tech specs here http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMP-BDT220?t=specs, and a Smart Samsung Tv 3D, and i have never had problems. I´m not sure if any of my devices delivers 1.4 hdmi, but the cable is working just fine.

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.

Most 3D TVs are 1080p, not 4K. But yes 4K is desirable for 3D, however be aware that unfortunately HDMI standard does not allow to carry 3D and 4K at the same time: it's one or the other. In other words the maximum resolution for 3D content over HDMI 1.4 is 1080p. This limitation is lifted in HDMI 2.0 I think, but very very few TVs/players support this just released version.

I'm assuming it's the hdmi cable. I just ordered my tv so I can't be certain, but from what I've read I don't think this tv is hdmi 1.3 compatible.

monoprice.comlike the above poster said, make sure it's at least a HDMI v1.3b. You can apparently now get v1.4, but that may be unneccesary. If you pay more than $3 for a HDMI cable, you are throwing money away. Never will I forget a friend who was so proud a couple years ago when he paid $100+ for a Monster HDMI cable at Best Buy. Didn't have the heart to tell him he blew $100. But you don't have to make the same mistake!
