Crazy HDMI people
So true. HDMI is being rather odd about it, they will not allow retailers to claim they have v1.4 technology. They think if you use the term 1.4 it will throw people off, cause we are all super stupid!
Companies can get around this by posting what features their cables can carry. For example CableWholesale's HDMI v1.3 cat2 will support all new functions of v1.4, without the ethernet channel, even though they say it is coming soon...

It is stupid and rediculous, and everyone is ignoring it! I wonder if they will go after Monster, who is in CLEAR violation of this! Maybe they will allow people to actually say the cable is v1.4 once the testing is done. Its odd, because if you want a v1.4 high speed cable without ethernet, it IS!!!! a Cat2 v1.3 cable!!!!! The change to v1.4 is a CHIPSET update!
