Buy AV Gear Now before China War with Taiwan?

Articifial scarcity is probably the worst reason to buy any new tech gear, unless absolutely necessary, e.g. AVR or speakers died. Plus, we have been experiencing the worst HDMI transition in living memory.

What's wrong? You don't want to buy an AVR HDMI 2.0.5 to go with your HDMI 2.1-.4 TV?

Crazy that we now have a spec that's a numbered version, but for some reason you can be "in spec" if you support some features and most of the bandwidth.

So dumb

You can be "in spec" even without FRL bandwidth. You can claim HDMI 2.1 with eARC only and 18 Gbps.

Exactly why saying you have a specific version, without all the features, is simply a lie.
