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.

Again I ask, gamers? or video enthusiast? Who really benefits.

Hopefully they'll do something about that awful HDMI connector causing failures due to mechanical stress.

Yeah so this is only going to benefit high end gamers but TV manufacturers will benefit from people thinking they are high-end gamers buying the TV for no reason. You’d need very expensive video cards running limited game selection to notice but if you were it would be a dramatic improvement. Ray tracing at 144/4k is insane

Will the extra bandwidth help with audio/video always being out of sync?

I don't care how fancy something looks on paper if the viewing experience reminds me of 1970s Kung fu movies. I have an adjustable delay processor, but the fact some people even need it shows there's an underlying issue that remains to be addressed.

Seriously, I have no life.
What, oh what, will AudioQuest do? I suppose their marketing department has been very busy lately.

Right now gamers would benefit. Refresh rates above 120Hz at 4k are certainly useful because they can solve input lag problems, but we can't have that with HDMI 2.1b. And while yes, to play games at 4k beyond 120Hz is the purview of high-end cards at the moment, it will not always be. Intel just released an very affordable card that can play games at 2k resolutions fluidly, and AMD and Nvidia are about to make some big announcements at CES for their graphics cards. The next year is definitely going to see some downward pricing shifts for higher performance.

That’s good to hear. The consumer needs higher performance at a lower price. Merry Christmas

Video cards were fairly inexpensive until people started using them to mine crypto, supply and demand. But yes, simply following the trend of performance to cost we’ve been a little overdue for video cards to take a significant leap in performance.
