Whoever decides the naming conventions for these cables needs a collective smack round the back of the head.

Right now we've got 3 different types of HDMI 2.0/2.0b/2.1 that are all quite different - and the next step for doubling the bandwidth is to just go to 2.2. Surely HDMI 3.0 wouldn't hurt anyone as a clear distinction?!

cables longer than 1m now make the new standards actually viable! with cable tidying below desk and along a monitor arm 2-3m is a must.

have seen rumours know the new nvidia GPUs will have a newer displayport, but nothing on what HDMI version will be on them yet - be interesting to see what is the first GPU with both

It'll definitely be HDMI 2.1 on the new GPUs, 2.2 spec has only just been released and won't be in circulation for another 2 years.

The best thing for PC gamers is that DisplayPort 2.1 seems to be appearing on GPUs now and monitors releasing this year are also including it - so hopefully within 2 years or so we'll see those be the standard. Reduces the need for any sort of compression (although DSC is very, very good) and solves the Nvidia Alt-Tab black screen issue too.

I don't know what Ultra96 is but it sounds great.

Absolutely, having to use a 1 metre cable was a ridiculous limitation! I’m surprised any company/organisation ever thought that was a reasonable requirement for a new standard!
