not sure. I just ordered it. Im in prestons nsw so maybe 2 days hopefully.
HDMI 1.3B….(won't do 3d, full HD.)
actually your wrong. I bought a hdmi cable 3 months ago from these guys for 5.95 and it does 3d and it does hd 110%. Actually 1100% it does.
Yes it will.
A 1.3 HDMI cable can do everything except Ethernet.
Any HDMI 1.3 revision 2(high speed)cable will fully support 1080p 3D & ARC, as stated by others.
There is no difference in cables between version 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3b & 1.3c.
And HDMI 1.4 cables only add ethernet support as stated above.
sorry guys you're wrong:
3D Over HDMI (HDMI 1.3 devices will only support this for 1080i)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Industry_Trends/HDMI/…,although i did reference wiki to find it.
FULL HD, 1080P(according to the specs)
and we're talking 1.3B as posted above… should revoke the negs you gave me:P (if you could)
correct HDMI 1.3 devices can not support 1080p3D, however we are talking about cables, a cable does not know what it is sending if it has the bandwidth it will work.
If you go to the Wikipedia you linked and go down to the version comparison table.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison"Maximum total TMDS throughput (Gbit/s)" both 1.3 & 1.4 have max bandwidth of 10.2Gbit/s, so a 1.3 cable will easily pass 1080p 3D.
There are many running 1080p 3D with 1.3 cables with no problems at all!
A 1.3 cable can & does work with 1080p 3D!
I bought my optical cable from here and shipping was very fast - 2 business days to Sydney.
EDIT: in reply to leonheart
The optical cable should work with Samsung LCD TV to AV receiver, right?
I have Samsung LCD series 6 46" TV around 1 year old.
Sure will, using a toslink cable the same as this one on my sammy series 5 from lcd to av receiver.
BOUGHT, Thanks for the info.
So next look for my AV receiver … :p
Why using optical cable, when you can use the HDMI? Just curious cause I also have the same Samsung LCD with you (same yes, even the size lol).
If you need to get surround sound out from your digital TV channels you have to use optical cable output from the TV to the receiver. HDMI is only input video signal to the TV.
This years models TV's & AVR's with HDMI 1.4 can support Audio Return Channel(ARC) so if both your TV & AVR are HDMI 1.4 and support ARC you only need the HDMI cable from the AVR to TV, no optical cable is required to get the TV audio through the AVR.
I am talking about my 1 year old model as I already mentioned.
@superforever: just putting the correct info out there for other user's.
They might see your post and think they do need an optical cable with a new TV!
Why using optical cable, when you can use the HDMI?
So you do not need to run your AVR to watch TV.
You can connect the HDMI cable between your video device and TV and then the optical cable between your TV and AVR.
That way you can watch TV using the TV speakers without powering the AVR and if you want to use your AVR for surround sound you have an audio link from the TV using the optical cable.
That will work, but note most TV's will only pass 2-channel audio from an external device, no 5.1.
With most TV's you will not get 5.1 audio from a Blu-ray/DVD player connected to the TV via HDMI if your using the TV's optical out.
The TV will pass 5.1 from it's DTV tuner when it is present in the signal, just not from an external device.
What's the advantage of having gold plated connectors on the optical cables connectors?
What’s the advantage of having gold plated connectors on the optical cables connectors?
Cosmetics and marketing.
Gold is on other cables so if they can add it to their optical cable people will think it is better than a non gold cable.Now for gold plated HDMI cables, unless your devices use gold connectors then there is no advantage.
You want to use the same metal as your TV/Receiver HDMI contacts for the cable.
This prevents dissimilar metal corrosion.Thanks for the explanation :)
Many comments, how come only 1 positive? Not a good deal?
Too busy setting up an account and payment.
Also never bought from them before, just try and seems people said OK.
I just bought two sets. I'm upgrading my HT hardware soon so I'll be needing these. I've bought HDMI from these guys before and was really happy with the process.
Received it today morning, that was quick.
o'nite deliver. Thanx!
