Which Version of HDMI? 1.3 or 1.4? I'm guessing it'll support 1.4 since 3-D blu-ray players are supposed to run on 1.4 Does anybody know the answer?

I'm sure it will have 1.4 Samsung 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.

http://www.opendrivers.com/modeldriver/panasonic_dmp-bd75-driver-download.html go here for the only STABLE firmware upgrade 1.19. DO NOT allow it to update the "latest" firmware 1.33. nothing but problems. (this is based on what i have read from researching to buy this player, which i would be willing to buy now that i found the old firmware - i do not own this yet) UPDATE: i have also read that when AFTER you update the firmware, it resets the output to composite (lowest resolution). so if you are doing firmware via: HDMI cable, it may "appear" to be dead or broken once updated. so trying having both cables hooked up and after the new version is installed and your screen turns black, switch your TV input to composite and see if you see something now, then go into your menu and switch your resolution setting back to 1080p. then change your TV input back to HDMI. (i had this problem before on my HDMI dvd player, i was using the composite cables to an old tube TV, and tried the 1080p setting. everything went black and couldn't see anything to change the setting back.)

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

N Singh, or anyone who is technical :) What is the practical significance of it having HDMI 1.2 vs. HDMI 1.3? Am I losing anything with HDMI 1.2?

Quick answer is I do not know. the manual does not tell us about which HDMI spec is supported by the unit. However 1.3 that supports 3D was introduced in 2006, and these receivers were designed in 2008, so they should (most likely) support 3D. But 3d is going bye bye anyway, so it might be a moot point. Good luck, the unit I have has been reliable and a good sounding unit.

Does it support it - yes; I haven't used it so I don't know how well it works. There were known issues with 3D in certain configurations so you'd want the latest firmware. What doesn't work is backward compatibility with DVI - it will not properly separate the video signal for the display doing an HDMI-to-DVI conversion (even though it's supposed to work) and there is no component out so you have to feed HDMI to your display (or AVR).

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!

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI): High Speed HDMI 1.3 cables can support all HDMI 1.4 features except for the HDMI Ethernet Channel.

Hi, I am assuming the PS3 plays BD right? I say connect to that HDMI port unless you have the additional BD player. HDMI is audio and video signal combined so it should work wherever you plug it in. Good luck! I love my 920 so far.

Then what does it mean when a blu-ray player is input through HDMI and it says 24Hz? Then when I hooked the same BD player through my receiver (new Pioneer Elite) it's back to 60Hz. Never have seen 120 Hz.

Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so). However, I still have my doubt about it. I have not tested it yet because I haven't bought the 3DTV yet. AS soon as I tested will let you know the results.Furthermore, I think that, even if it works, sooner or later, I have to buy a new receiver to feel that I am taking full advantage (or not missing something) of 3D capabilities.If I buy a new receiver, I would buy the new Sony 1010.Regards Hi Diane,I called to Sony customer services to ask this matter and they told me that my receiver is not 3D capable, just 3D capable receiver can pass-through that signal due of the HDMI 1.4 (higher bandwith and so).

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

I have the 2 port version. I purchased it because the sewell version was crap. I like to record myself playing xbox and this unit solved the hdcp issues I was facing. If your having issues with hdcp then Make Sure you purchase the 1.3 Version . 1.3 is the most compatible with gaming systems. 1.4 causes problems.

Hi,Can somebody tell me if this Mitsubishi adapter works between Sony BDP-S570 3D blu-ray player and Viewsonic PJD-6531D 3D DLP 120Hz projector please...?I am currently having 3D blu-ray disc, but not able to play 3D between these two... and not able to understand where the problem is? with Sony BD player or Viewsonic Projector? Would be great if this adapter can fill the gap between Sony and Viewsonic as above and I can watch 3D movies...Thanks a lot for your time in answering my question...

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.

You should wait like me because blue ray players with profile 1.0 and 1.1 wont be able to play future discs. Since blue ray is coming out with 2.0 players later this year, newer disc will need the technical specs of the newer players. I was in the market on buying a blue ray player as well but then i read this http://www.cooltidbits.net/2008/01/before-you-buy-blu-ray-player-read-this.html
