HDMI Cable Questions


I am about to get a 42" 1080i LCD TV.

First, what is meant by a HDMI 1.3? Is this the latest and best version???

Second, I don't see a "bazillion" different brands of HDMI cables, as I do for audio cables. I'm not a "video" freak, but rather an audio freak. So...recommendations for a REASONABLY priced HDMI cable?

Thanks!

The latest release of HDMI is 1.3a (see link for all answers), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI since you are a music guy it proably will mean little. I have tried quite a few varieties of cables and to me negligible for the $$$. There are quite a few out there, such as BlueJeans that I feel are a good bargin. In general 1.2 vs 1.3a is not a big jump. In my opinion, HDMI has been very poorly implemtented. Oh and there is no such thing as an HDMI verion cable, I have seen some people selling 1.3 cable, BS
