HDMI 1.3a vs. 1.4a


I am curious as to the improvements with the new 1.4a cables. Trying to get the most out of my Samsung 55" plasma.
Current cable is entry level Monstee. Not sure if it is even 1.3 version as there is no other markings on it.
Thanks

HDMI 1.4 allows 3D to flow smoothly (not sure how).

Another feature is an additional two HDMI channels for TV sound from your 1.4 TV to a 1.4 receiver.
Currently, you can't get TV sound (i.e. sound coming over the air) using a 1.3 HDMI connection.
I have to use a fiber-optic IC hookup from the TV to my receiver.

HDMI simplifies this.
