HDMI Cable Questions

I am about to get a 42" 1080i LCD TV.

First, what is meant by a HDMI 1.3? Is this the latest and best version???

Second, I don't see a "bazillion" different brands of HDMI cables, as I do for audio cables. I'm not a "video" freak, but rather an audio freak. So...recommendations for a REASONABLY priced HDMI cable?

Thanks!

This is the latest which includes more colors and contrast ratio.

1.3 supports Blu Ray and it's billions of colors is what a salesman at Circuit City told me.

Wireworld makes the best HDMI cables. I recomend, according to your budget, the Ultraviolet 5.2 on up to the Silver Starlight 5.2. Look here on Audiogon for some really good prices or contact The Cable Company.

Try Blue Jeans Cable (http://bluejeanscable.com). They make any custom length you want at very good prices. I use a 35' HDMI-HDMI Blue Jeans cable from my blu-ray player to a 1080p projector. The results are excellent.
