July 30, 201015 yr Worth a read to see the issues that are here/coming. 3 minute read http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/221343,hdmi-and-its-stupid-labelling-requirements.aspx
July 30, 201015 yr I've seen worse naming conventions! Also, just about all HDMI cables will support 1080p/24, but if you go to 1080p/60, not all do, particularly when you go to longer lengths.
July 30, 201015 yr Wow... What other ways can they make it more difficult to figure out what cable you actually need. I can see my family now, calling me to find out what kind of HDMI cable they need to plug in there TV. It was so much easier when i could tell them to go to walmart and get the cheapest one available as they were all pretty much the same. So we now have 5 different versions of HDMI cable... Someone should go slap the people behind this and tell them that 2 different cables is more than enough. We don't need a Microsoft type tired pricing scheme for freaking audio/video cables. If you have to write a 38 page document on it then there are probably to many choices.
July 30, 201015 yr Author It is obviously all so that the big players can charge alot for different cables. The reality is almost any cable is fine. Problem is the man on the street doesn't know that and there is always some idiot that spouting pseudo science. Good case in point: http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2008/08/jeremy-kipnis-home-theater-6-million/
