AFAIK there are no 1080p sets that are also 100Hz, they just arent made yet.

You could look at the sharp XD1E 37" (these dont have HDMI v1.3, but its no big deal from what I read here) or the new samsung M86/M87 range, I think samsung do a 100Hz tv but its 1366x768 (i.e. 720p upscaled) rather than 1920x1080.

But what about this one?

Also surely it would be silly not to buy a new TV without 1.3 HDMI after reading various articles like this one:

Reading that site it becomes quite clear why you don't need it. Don't get hung up on meaningless specs, get a tv with picture quality you want.

according to samsung UK site that TV doesnt exist! the closest thing is the LE37R87BD, which is only 1366x768 and HDMI 1.2

The current thinking on HDMI 1.3 is its a bragging point - there dont appear to be many sources that are 1.3 and even then there is some debate on if current LCD panels are capable of displaying the difference between 1.2/1.3
