Since I have a receiver that handles HDMI 1.3, do I need to upgrade all my older (2 year old) HDMI cables which are probably 1.1 or 1.2?

    No not really as the source DVD, DVR, satellite box, cable box maybe only HDMI 1.2 or 1.1. Not if you are watching Blu Ray DVD player then yes need a 1.3 cable here back to AVR then 1.3 to television also, if tv is 1.3 capable.

    I don't know if you need to or not, but if you do...buy them cheap! You don't need to spend tons of money on HDMI cables. You should be able to get new ones for less than $10 easily and probably under $5 in most cases. Just look around.

    What's an HDMI cable? Just kidding. I don't use them. I like component cables for video and using a the dig coax for audio. I also just read on Audioholic's that HDMI 1.4 will be out late this year or early next year and it is a compeletly different cable.

    I am going to hold out till video goes above 1080p. By then I will need a new tv, video player and preamp. I think that will be quite a few years away by the time I am ready to upgrade.

    Video has gone beyond 1080p looong time ago. There are some Sony projectors which push at least 3000-4000p.
    Here is an example of 2004 press release:

    I saw one of those in the Sony store and was simply blown away, and that was a couple of years ago.
