Ken,

HDMI 2.0 is very retro, from what I gather. The 1.3A spec is the end all, be all of HDMI, so far. . because it takes advantage of the 36-bit "deep color" attributes (gazillions of new colors and gradations thereof) with compatible displays as well as passing lossless Dolby TrueHD and dts Master Audio to compatible AV receiver/decoders.

Dolby Labs just sent me the new High Definition Digital Video Essentials test disc, with HD-DVD on one side plus Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, and standard, garden-variety DVD on the flip side. So now I've got to upgrade to a 1080p display--and an HD-DVD player--to take advantage of the test disc's new capabilities.
Who can keep up?
