Joseph,
If DVI would have been able in 2002 to perform the level of HDMI 1.3 image
specifications (Deep Color, xv color, 10.2 GB of bandwidth, higher bits),
1.3 would not have been invented, nor HDMI, other than for the audio
features, which is usually not a TV benefit with two small speakers and a
5-watt amp.
And let me ask. When are you going to use Deep color, xv color, and 10.2 GB
of bandwidth, and higher bits, on a TV set to require specifications better
than DVI "on the image"?, when the display is able to handle that 1.3
potential (some now do, but is not the norm), and when a video source be
created to produce that level of video (other than Sony video cameras and
PCs software, for now).
On my meetings with HDMI and Silicon Image it was always clear that they are
having a hard time with an industry that is getting very confused with HDMI
versions (not to mention the public), and they recommend that TV
manufacturers specify the actual video capabilities on their sets (like xv
color, etc) rather than saying 1.2, or 1.3, because buyers would be better
serviced by knowing that the set is actually capable of superior video and
video processing, rather than saying that it handles 1.3 inputs, impress the
unsuspected buyer, but the set does not have an internal design to perform
all what 1.3 can offer (other than the input female chip).

Rodolfo La Maestra

I have a Panny HDMI input card for the Pro models in my hand, and nowhere
does it say which version it is, not on the box, the card, nor the manual. I
must assume it is not 1.3 as these have been out for over a year.
Of course, the question now becomes, can the DVI input process the 1.3 fully
with an adapter from the HDMI cable? This is something I have never looked
into. Rodolfo, got any info here?

Larry,
I checked all my information from Panny and they do not specify the HDMI
version on any new and future models, nor they do it on their web site,
which I also checked for you.
But you can always call them if that is important to you:

Thanks Rodolfo,
I did not mean to imply that you said they were just good for still
scenes....it just they don't do motion or greenery real well!
That Panasonic TH-65PF10UK 65" Professional Plasma Display, seems to look
like a great display. I read where you can changes "cards" on the chassis.
I was curious if HDMI 1.3 is part of that display's abilities.
Have a great weekend!
Larry

Larry,
Your conclusion:
"Thanks for your thoughts on LCD's... they have got better but I guess not
good enough to be used for anything other than still photos or computer
screens."
That is not what I said, there is a huge market for <37" panels for "casual"
viewing (kitchen, gym, etc) that LCD is perfect due to space, weight, and
handling of ambient light. Or even larger panels on an apartment at the
beach, which plasma could be a problem due to reflections.
Regarding Panny and Pioneer the kind on information you ask is insider
information, and I rather not use a 1000+ email list for that; besides
Joseph already advanced his view.
I can tell you one thing, if there are two companies outsourcing mutually
for efficiencies but have to still giving the public the peace of mind of
final product quality, those companies are Panny and Pioneer regarding
plasmas; the two best out there, for years.
Everyone else is just in another tier of quality, regardless what Samsung,
LG, Hitachi, etc might say, just look at the image, compare, and your eyes
will tell (if you know what to look for).
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra

Rodolfo,
Thanks for your thoughts on LCD's... they have got better but I guess not
good enough to be used for anything other than still photos or computer
screens.
Do you have any comment about the Pioneer Panasonic partnership?
Is Pioneer only going to give Panny 8/10's of their circuitry so that they
still have an edge?
Their certainly has to be a difference...will Pioneer not get the best
Plasma screens from Panny?
Thanks!
Larry

Larry,
That is one of the issues, but it should happen on any place of the screen.
Look for the other items I mentioned, for the greenery test and lady face
test you need content that can stay long enough on the shot so you could
notice the effect.

After looking some more at LCD's ...action shots tended to show a weird
artifact in the screen's center...kind of like pixilation...but not.
Rodolfo, I guess that is what you mean?
Thanks again
Larry

I guess I got you attention to that claim.
Interestingly enough I always had that viewing experience with LCD loss of
resolution compared to plasma during motion and did not have myself the
equipment to demonstrate it (other than my eyes), so I was glad when Ross
(Display Search president) showed on one of the last HD conferences I
attended, the lab tests that I believe were co-sponsored with Panasonic that
certainly had all the money they want to do this lab work.
The differences in number of lines of resolution lost during motion were
huge. The material Ross revealed was conference speaker material that only
he used for the presentation, and I must have it in my files; I will look
for it. But I promise that if I can not find it I will ask Ross directly.
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra
