So not only does it support xvYCC, which I think you need for HDMI 1.3a,
The Series also supports the extended xvYCC colour space for moving images that Sony says set to replace sRGB as the industry standard has an integrated HDTV tuner and AVC-HD decoder alongside the DVB-T digital tuner.
The most recent posting to LifeOfLeo had an amazon link to
the Sanyo Xacti HD1A,
and all I saw was (1) HD, (2) $666 US.
