It’s just what we all need more obsolete cables for my box of misfit toys lol although I am in the market to upgrade mine .

It also means more income for electronic as well as cable manufacturers. Who needs higher definition, IMO 4K is amply satisfying.

IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE VIDEOPHOOLERY! IMO, this higher definition idea won't last long. Most people won't buy the idea and it will disappear just like 3D.

That HDMI Forum is really incompetent. Now is the time to come up with a new hardware similar to the XLR format for future solid reliable connections.

I didn’t bother to read the article but the latest TV’s support 4k@144, I think that’s more than 48gps can handle

Some TVs supporting the full HDMI 2.1 48Gbps ports can handle 4K @144Hz uncompressed and some 4K @240Hz using DSC. HDMI 2.1 featured AVRs are limited to 40Gbps. So, maybe AVR makers will just skip the full HDMI 2.1 48Gbps ports and go with the new HDMI 2.2 ports very soon. But, I wouldn’t bet on it. It is a non issue for those without a very good PC connected to their AVRs.
