For all the HDTV buyers this BF

Has anyone read this article regarding HDMI 1.3, basically saying all HDTV's now will be obsolete? Obviously this isnt entirely true given I love the picture on my Samsung LCD, but it is an interesting article nonetheless. Just an article for all the people going crazy over BF HDTV's.

Eh...expensive and not worth buying 'new' technology on first release. I'll stick with current HDM models.

Not even most of the 1080p TVs have HDMI 1.3 yet so it will be a while before it does have a large impact.

It's going to be a peripheral feature for a long time. It'll be another 5 years or more before 1080P finds sufficient market penetration to make it worthwhile for manufacturers to start phasing 1.3 in in a major way.

The articles title is supposed to be attention grabbing. This is really non-news much in the same way that ever faster ethernet standards are non-news (i.e. it's great that you have extra bandwidth, but your current equipment still works fine and you can have a mix and optimize as necessary). If your current (or about to be current) tv doesn't support 1080p, then it's a non-issue, the current hdmi spec easily supports the same bandwidths your tv can. And if you do get a 1.3 source, it will work fine with your current equipment, you just won't be able to utilize "advanced" features.
