OK I know that this probably has been discussed before. But has anyone experienced the difference between HDMI 1.3 cables and 1.2? Is there a difference in clarity or something?

If your just gonna be a arse dont reply at all :/

1.3 like stated earlier has a much better color range, it also supports Dolby HD as well as DTS HD surround sound, 1.2 can't do that. At least I know thats the difference between version 1.3a and 1.2 in hardware, but I would guess the cables are the same.

When it comes to cables, wire is wire. Its like buying Monster Cables thinking your going to get some amazing sound a picture simply because they are more costly.

The only difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.2 cables is the price. A $65 HDMI 1.3 Monster cable is no better than $5 HDMI cable from Monoprice.com.

Buy a generic cheap HDMI cable and save youself some money.

WRONG. See this is why people are so confused, idiots spouting crap like this. HDMI1.3 cables offer 2x the bandwidth, they're a higher category cable and will be required for many TVs/Audio systems now. They are not the same, they are not identical, there is a reason why 1 is Cat1 and the other is Cat2. if you've got a HDMI 1.3 tv or a HDMI 1.3 audio system, buy the 1.3 cables. Its simple.

The only difference in the two is the hardware/software and the cables are going to be the same. A digital signal is 1 or 0 and the wire that carrys the signal is same.
