When do you think that HD will become a standard? P.S. What is " true HD" ?

I think 1080p will become the standard in a few years -- it may take some years to go beyond that, because in order to do that the HDMI cable/input would need to be changed.

Are you sure? If true, I'm frankly shocked that HDMI was not future-proofed at all! Wikipedia would be interested in this information, as it's not in their "criticism" section for HDMI. (Of course, Wikipedia is not a definitive source of information.)

Evidence please.

Other sections of the Wikipedia article go into more detail:

"maximum pixel clock rate of the interface was 165 MHz, sufficient for supporting 1080p at 60 Hz or WUXGA (1920x1200), but HDMI 1.3 increased that to 340 MHz, providing support for WQXGA (2560x1600) and beyond across a single digital link."

So the HDMI cable is already being changed.. I don't think it's a big deal though; a few sets support it already, even though they only do 1080p. (HDMI 1.3 has other features besides the extra bandwidth)
