Are The Mitsubishi 2010 3D Ready HDTV Models HDMI Version 1.4a?
August 24th, 2010 by Patrick G
We had a question from a customer regarding the version of HDMI on the new 2010 HDTV models from Mitsubishi. It is not a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ situation. Here is what we have been told by Mitsubishi.
“To claim HDMI version 1.4a the product must support all of the mandatory 3D formats. As you know, in the near future Mitsubishi will make available a firmware upgrade for the 738 and 838 series HDTVs to accommodate all of the 3D formats, so that Mitsubishi sets will not need the 3D adapter. Until that time, Mitsubishi cannot claim our products support HDMI version 1.4a. At the current time none of the current model Mitsubishi TVs support all of the mandatory 3D formats; however the software upgrade for the 738 and 838 series HDTVs is planned to support all of the mandatory 3D formats and some of the optional formats. Before Mitsubishi releases this software upgrade we must have these TVs re-tested for 3D support by HDMI, then we can claim HDMI 1.4a 3D support.
The 3D adapter already supports all of the mandatory 3D formats and a fairly large number of optional 3D formats. This product has already been tested by HDMI for 3D support and has passed the tests.”
Of course there will be more info to follow so stay tuned.
