[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 60356, member: 517"] It's not the cables that need to be compatible with the different HDMI versions but the hardware. The cables just need to have sufficient bandwidth for the amount of information that needs to be carried across them. HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 have the same bandwidth requirements so a 1.3 certified HDMI cable should work just fine with 1.4 hardware and software. Manufacturers placing version numbers on their cables is just a simple way to say the cable can handle the bandwidth needed (but manufacturers interpretation of the spec can be dubious). Some manufacturers put the signal transfer capacity of their cables on their packaging so that consumers have a better idea of what the cable is actually capable of. [/QUOTE]
