[cnet] CES 2019: HDMI 2.1 TV connections finally arrive, cables will follow

LexRank Summarization

  • As we originally reported, HDMI Licensing is allowing companies to claim HDMI 2.1 compliance even if the TV can't do all of 2.1's features.

  • So, for instance, a company with a TV that can do eARC and VRR, but not the 48Gbps required for 8K/60, could still say their TV is HDMI 2.1.

  • Go the other way, and make all the parts thick, and it would be like trying to connect your TV and cable box with a garden hose, and not one of those fancy flexible ones either.

TextRank Summarization

  • And it's good news that most will include the next-gen connection that will actually allow 8K TV shows, movies and games to get to those TVs.

  • LG, Sony, and Samsung all confirmed that their new 8K TVs will have HDMI 2.1 connections capable of the full 48-gigabit-per-second transfer speed necessary for the highest-bandwidth forms of 8K.

  • But for the ultimate in futureproofing -- or for people who buy an 8K TV -- the full version of HDMI 2.1 is worth considering.
