Having queried how 10bit processing was possible along with 12.8 billion colours under the impression that the R74 series has a 1.1 HDMI connection the technical support representative confirmed the following:
HDMI connection is version 1.3
This is very good news considering that the PS3 supports the HDMI 1.3 connection which is known to be far superior to HDMI 1.1.
So anyone looking to pick up an R74 series or has one already and is looking forward to the PS3 should be delighted to know that their R74 has the 1.3 version of HDMI connectivity.

As a request I have asked Samsung support to have it mentioned on their website to show that it has a 1.3 connection which will hopefully be updated very soon.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
I think is great they are moving towards 1.3 HDMI, but it seems to me this Race will simply confuse more and more consumers. Most people don't know the difference between 1080i vs 1080P or even what HD-TV is, let alone why they should pick HDMI 1.3 over 1.1. Specially considering the fact that 95% of all the HD-TVs available right now for purchase DO NOT SUPPORT HDMI 1.3. For example, in order to take advantage of some of the features of 1.3 both the transmitter(i.e. blu-ray drive) and the reseaver (TV) must be HDMI 1.3. Everytime a new version of HDMI comes out and you want to take advantage of this; you must replace both your TV and any other device that's not have HDMI 1.x.
I have a feeling this may turn out to be a cunsumer's nightmare until HD-TV stay constant and stop changing so much.
Here is how fast HDMI is changing.
HDMI 1.1 - Released May 2004
HDMI 1.2 - Released August 2005
HDMI 1.2a - Released December 2005
HDMI 1.3 - Released 22 June 2006
As you can see, HDMI is far from being constant. Which is why even TV and devices being produced now are using 1.1 (Released May 2004). I believe the PS3 supporting 1.3 it's Sony strategy to sell their HD-TVs, since if you want to take full advantage of the PS3 display you must also own a TV that supports HDMI 1.3.
