In Reply to: Great article on HD DVD posted by clarkjohnsen on February 24, 2006 at 10:59:21:
Take the discussion of 1080p, for instance. It has nothing to do with HDMI 1.1, 1.2 or the yet released 1.3 version. The bandwidth for 1080p60 is about 149MHz: HDMI supports a bandwidth of 165MHz, so it fits nicely. Why don't most of today's displays and Toshiba's future HD-DVD players support 1080p? Because those manufacturers have cheaped-out on the transmitting and receiving chips! The Silicon Image chips that support 1080p are $3.00 more than the ones that don't support 1080p. Besides Silicon Image, Toshiba also makes HDMI T/R chips. Can you guess what format none of Toshiba's chips support?By the way, that HDTV site openly sides with the MPAA. It is pro-Hollywood and anti-consumer fair use rights. Shit-can that piece of crap.
