What is HDMI 2.1?
To take full advantage of the 4K @ 120Hz that the PS5 can deliver, your TV must have one HDMI 2.1 port, which is currently only present in a few TV models, being a recently released technology.
Le main innovations introduced by HDMI 2.1 I'm:
- 8K @ 120Hz
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which stands for Variable Refresh Rate: changes the frequency in Hz of the TV synchronizing it with the FPS provided by the video card of the console. This is to prevent the so-called tearing, an artifact that is created when a single frame displayed on the screen contains information from two or more frames
- Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Short for Auto Low Latency Mode: Guarantees zero lag between controller input and on-screen action by automatically enabling Game mode when it detects a game in progress
- Dynamic HDR: dynamic metadata makes the TV adjust the brightness according to the scene being viewed, changing it frame by frame. Up to HDMI 2.0, we only had static metadata for standard HDR on HDMI, which set a standard brightness level for all scenes.
Once you have chosen your new TV you will need to equip yourself with cables compatible with the new standard, able to transfer at least 40Gbps, how's that included in the PlayStation 5 box.
