Are their any panels with hdmi 1.3 connectors? Seeing as it was ratified a couple months ago I though it may have filtered down to some tv's.

I think only SONY X series comes with HDMI 1.3.
HDMI v1.3 sounds useless to me since there is no content needs such high bandwidth. Not to mention the LCD panels used by all LCD TVs only support 24bit RGB.

I could have sworn that I read that the XBR3's had 1.3....

I was gonna hold off for an XBR3 but who knows when (if at all) it comes to AU...

IMHO you need not worry about specific HDMI 1.3.

Certain things should cover most things:

1. HDMI should be HDCP enabled
2. HDMI should on 1080p native display handle bandwidth of 1080p singal such as Blu Ray/HD DVD along with a HTPC sending a 1080p output

Colour 24 bit is more then enough. The understanding of colour bit level rating on HD displays is different from 24 bit computer teminology. The figure is quoted differently and much lower.

Restrictive colour is more in the internal video scaler capability rather then physical display capability.
