From wikipedia: HDMI 1.3 * Increases single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) * Optionally supports 30-bit, 36-bit, and 48-bit xvYCC with Deep Color or over one billion colors, up from 24-bit sRGB or YCbCr in previous versions. * Incorporates automatic audio syncing (lip sync) capability. * Supports output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams for external decoding by AV receivers.[9] TrueHD and DTS-HD are lossless audio codec formats used on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. If the disc player can decode these streams into uncompressed audio, then HDMI 1.3 is not necessary, as all versions of HDMI can transport uncompressed audio. * Availability of a new mini connector for devices such as camcorders.[10]
Ooops, I noticed that I made an error when trying to answer your question. I read it the first time as if you were asking if Deep Color was included in the spec.
I am wondering too. I would think that it would mainly matter on DLPs...
