Cable capability (and therefore compatability) is completely dependent on shielding, connection quality, and mostly, length. As long as the connections are correct (i.e., conforms to the HDMI spec pin for pin) there are no compatibility problems. The only problem is that an extremely long, poorly sheilded cable may have so much noise that it can't pass high frequencies cleanly enough to provide a 10gbps connection.
I'll bet that all the monoprice cables under 20 ft will handle any HDMI spec you want to try.
Question though: What features is 1.3b supposed to add? I know the 1.3 update added 1080p, but what's great about 1.3b?
