I concur, only more so! I think the "deep color" and "higher fidelity audio" embellishments are those that are only significant to test equipment. I've fooled with 24 bit vs. 48 bit color for years in still work; the differences are just not visible to 80-90% of the folks viewing. I bet you that the audio stuff is totally not noticeable on 95% of the audio equipment folks have. Notice that the "enhanced" audio formats that have been on the market for many years are total flops?

While I seem to have zero connectivity issues with HDMI, many seem to. Nowhere in reading about 1.3 have I seen any mention about improved connectivity.
