Panasonic delivering HDMI 1.4 cables in Japan next month: $42 for 1 meter
It's unlikely you have any HDMI 1.4 equipped 1080p 3D, or 4K/2K capable equipment laying around the house, but that hasn't stopped Panasonic from rolling out these high speed cables already, just announced in Japan. Expected to launch August 27, they range in length from 1m to 10m, and in price from ¥4,000 ($42) to ¥20,000 ($210.) Sure you could import them just to stunt on your Monster Cable owning friends, but somehow we suspect most will be waiting for these to hit Monoprice, Blue Jeans Cable and the like, oh, and for equipment that can actually take advantage of their extra capabilities.

The upcoming denon 4810 receiver will have hdmi 1.4 it should be out this fall. although nothing else that it could connect to will have it but it'd be nice to be semi future proofed if you're looking for a new receiver or cables I guess.

Monoprice.com FTW. Forget these outrageous overinflated prices.

I wonder when monoprice will have them. Not that I need any since none of my components seem to ready to benefit from them.

Still cheaper than regular Monster cables.
