I was just wondering if the 30, 48 bit color on hdmi 1.3 support displays is really worth waiting for, and what kind of a difference would I expect to see compared to a regular hdtv? I am interested in buying the Westinghouse 37in 1080p monitor but if I am spending this kind of money I would like to know if I should wait for hdmi 1.3?

I know that if I get this display and get a seperate hdmi 1.3 receiver and speakers then I can get the new lossless codecs which would give me the hdmi 1.3 audio part... (which i can easily wait to upgrade my audio to that) but is it really worth waiting for an hdmi 1.3 capable display? Thanks!

HDMI 1.3 is profoundly irrelevant as it will not be supported in any important way by HD-DVD, BluRay or broadcast HDTV.
