And guess what?  Stores are now selling "HDMI 2.0 cables"... that was
my whole point!  Which you continually missed and/or tried to talk
over with your annoying, selfrighteous, know-it-all ranting.  Also,
you still don't know and you still can't tell me what a "HDMI 2.0"
cable is and neither did the /president of HDMI Licensing/ reveal it
in the video.  In fact, he mentioned the change of signaling very
specifically and only when "HDMI 3.0" is brought up, they begin to
discuss even moving completely away from the current cabling and
possibly even copper-based cables (i.e. to fiber-optical cables).
