Joel:

If you do it that way - and it is a logical approach - then the scaler will have to handle HDMI 1.3. Which means the current crop of Vantage, Crystalio, etc. (that only support HDMI 1.1) are no good.

I think I am about to talk myself out of buying a new scaler - at least until later this year. I wonder if the next crop of new scalers (VP40, Radiance, etc.) will have HDMI 1.3?
