Yeah. There’s almost always a software update and high end (and sometimes surprises) gain significant bonuses.

But that has to lineup between both devices and the cable for it to actually manifest.

Pretty sure most “standard” HDMI you’d see first can handle 4k/120 tho. So it’s doubtful stuff will randomly already be capable of 2.2.

The article doesn’t seem to guess, but the 120fps is the weak point. I could see 240hz/4k or 120/8k and if you’re real lucky you could push something like 180 on a 2.1.

But just like, with very rare exceptions there’s no reason to be using HDMI for that type of stuff when other options already exist

It’s good to see the standard evolve, but it’s more future proofing than anything.
