    like minidisc, this is a new tech that offers only incremental advantages, and is attempting to usurp something else very similar (and popular) that has not yet run its course.

    needing all new everything... sucks. not that i think anyone needs to be told, but uh, wait until you incidentally upgrade to start using these things. I only say so because somewhere, someone will buy all new stuff just to use this cable.

    Why the hell don't they just use network cabling if they want to push that much data? Both the hardware and cabling is cheap and they could just use Linksec for their security.

    Does the movie industry think we're made of cash?

    And thats another reason why I havent jumped on the Blu-Ray and HDMI wagon. Still using VGA cables for monitors (use mainly laptops now) and RCA cables for everything else.

    Got 3 laptops with HDMI, 2 DVR's with it, and a 92 inch projector with it. But no cords. Still not sure what versions... I bet the projector is something like 1.1, dvr's 1.0, and laptops 1.2 and 1 1.3 or something.

    @KTK1990: such a primitive, sourgraping caveman. You should at least use DVI or something if your monitors have the ports.

    @KTK1990: yikes. Not sure how things are in projector land, but there's a BIG difference when I hook my 42" LCD up to my computer via VGA rather than the usual DVI / HDMI. Component looks like pure ass.

    Any 1.3 HDMI cable you can find will work with anything HDMI out there right now you can throw at it- it's a backwards-compatible spec (thankfully). I'd head over to monoprice and get yourself some HDMI love, load up planet earth on blu ray, and feast your eyes. you don't know what you're missing!

    @Nintenboy01:
    No cables. The monitors are kinda old too... never really use them but they get the job done :). I mainly steal them from some old dell dimension desktops I have.

    When it is fully done then I am switching to HDMI (and then I will have some more $$$). Everything I have now is RCA compatible.

    Also the laptops actually dont have a DVI port, only 1 does and it is one of the ones that is scheduled to be replaced later. All have VGA ports.

    @KTK1990: Using that logic, you would invariably never upgrade your equipment. Technology will never just stop at a certain point. What happens when they advertise 8K equipment for the home. Your investment into 4K equipment will be in vein.

    @mantis350: I will upgrade... eventually when I have enough cash for it.
    Doesn't really make a lot of sense right now to go into debt for a new tv, cords, and other things. When I could use that money for things like.... Food, getting my degree, paying for class textbooks.

    I will wait for something to come down in price, or even better when I actually have the money to upgrade. All of those things look really awesome and nice and great though.

    I will though check later and see how much cords cost. I never actually use my laptop on a 2nd screen.. and have used the RCA cables last in like.. 2006?

    @quantumbits: I think they're going for the one-cable-does-it-all thing here. They've already smushed audio and video into one cable with HDMI, now they're adding ethernet. I like the idea, but have rolls-eyes at more cables and confusion for everyday consumers.

    @karmaghost: I always thought that trying to tie in internet capabilities to a TV seems so gimmicky. I mean, isn't that why we have STBs? Manufacturers will do anything to increase the cost of something that used to be so simple.


    Oh well... *sigh* Where do I sign up?
