HDMI and 3D Vision
I was going to buy a new HDMI cable for my Acer GD245HQ I'm running with a DVI cable right now. But I became confused by all the different types of HDMI cables (1.3a, 1.3b, 1.4 and so on...)and after some time of research I found this in the German nVidia FAQ:
[quote]German:
Sind 3D-Desktopmonitore mit HDMI 1.4 erhältlich?
Nein. Derzeit werden keine HDMI 1.4-Desktopmonitore hergestellt. 3D Vision-bereite Desktop-LCD-Monitore verwenden Dual-Link-DVI.

English:
Are there 3D-desktop-displays with HDMI 1.4 available?
No. At present no HDMI 1.4-desktop-displays are manufactured. 3D Vision-ready Desktop-LC-Displays are using Dual-Link-DVI[/quote]

Am I right thinking this means there is no advantage in using any sort of HDMI cable or possibly even a disadvantage?

You need a Dual Link DVI cable to get 3D on that monitor.

So 3D Vision wouldn't work at all with HDMI?

3D vision works with hdmi, but not at 1080p and not with that monitor.
