Why HDMI 2.1?
| Cable label | HDMI version | Bandwidth | What it carries |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Speed | 1.4 | 10.2 Gbps | 1080p at 60 Hz, 4K at 30 Hz |
| Premium High Speed | 2.0 | 18 Gbps | 4K at 60 Hz, HDR |
| Ultra High Speed | 2.1 | 48 Gbps | 4K at 120 Hz, 8K at 60 Hz, VRR, eARC |
Look for the Ultra High Speed label (or 48 Gbps / 8K) on the cable. Both ends of the connection - the console or graphics card and the TV or monitor - also need HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K 120 Hz.
Long HDMI 2.1 runs
For 48 Gbps over more than 3-5 m, a fibre optic HDMI 2.1 cable (AOC) is the reliable choice. Connect the Source end to the console or PC.
