Panasonic announced its first UHDTV featuring HDMI 2.0, the TC-L65W600. I intend to wait for the XMC-1's successor just like with the Oppo BDP-105.

In the mean time, I'll just enjoy my 5 month old current generation Panasonic plasma, and when the XMC-1 debuts I'll be happy to use it's HDMI 1.4 technology. Key words being "enjoy" and "happy".

In my opinion, and although I like to think I am informed and that is with the help of information I'm prevented from disclosing, it is "neither", or "a little bit of each", depending on how you look at it. On the one hand, there are folks such as Joe Kane who would be satisfied with nothing less than 4K/60p/4:4:4/16-bit color that even the new HDMI standard cannot do. (And in fairness to my friend Joe, he would say "2160" not "4K". That is a topic for another day!) From that perspective you can say that HDMI 2.0 is, to some degree, less than what people expected. Others are disappointed at the lack of a standardized scheme for a true locking connector. Fair point. On the other hand is the pragmatic reality of the marketplace. This thing is almost nine months late as it is and they had to get off the pot and get it out so that products had some chance of making it to market in the next product cycle. Some accommodations to commercial reality had to have been made but that is something that always happens in these sorts of standards bodies. Keep in mind that the standard is not constructed by the Forum, not the Founders in the LLC as it has been in the past. That means that there are loads of vested interests in the rom and somehow they have to decide on what they can keep and what they can toss off in service to getting the damn thing done. IN terms of "dumbing down from an initial release" there was no "initial release" as this is the first revision to the standard since HDMI 1.4. Rumors since then, sure. An initial release, didn't happen. You didn't understand it incorrectly at all. This is confusing even to those involved.

Sent from my DROID X2 using proboards The best part of this display isn't the HDMI 2.0 but the display port input. The PC is where the first real 4K material will show up first.

Yeah, we've been hungering for better output capabilities for sometime now. Why compromise on high quality 4k games in 3d? The PC's can do it, why wait.
