HDMI 2.1 is the latest standard for digital video and audio connectivity. This next-generation interconnect standard increases the data throughput rate by more than 2.5 times that of the previous HDMI standard. This means consumers will be able to pass 8K resolution video at up to 60 frames per second and 4K resolution video at up to 120 frames per second over a single HDMI cable.
But it’s not just this extra data throughput that’s exciting. HDMI 2.1 adds a ton of new features that a lot of consumers will find useful, such as Variable Refresh Rate and Quick Frame Transport functionality that will ensure a smoother video gaming experience with less lag.
Updated eARC functionality now supports sending Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and other object-based audio formats to compatible AV receivers from the TV itself or devices connected to it via HDMI. And Quick Media Switching functionality will eliminate annoying screen blackouts as your TV switches between content at varying resolutions and frame rates.
All-in-all, HDMI 2.1 is a big deal. So, if you’re shopping for a new TV, it’s probably a good idea to make sure whichever one you choose supports it.
