Do I new to upgrade my AV receiver

[shankly1985]

Hi all,

I am long due a TV upgrade. My current tv is 4k 50" LCD 60hz and I want to upgrade to oled that will also provide me with 120hz this will be hdmi 2.1 but my current AVRX2500H is hdmi 2.0

Can I still get the audio from the TV without upgrading to an hdmi 2.1 receiver?

Are you actually gaming?

Yeah it's the main reason for the upgrade. I have my PC connected to the TV with my sim racing but would also like to play more games away from the desk.

You'd have to plug the HDMI 2.1 devices into the TV and use ARC to get sound to the receiver, you wouldn't be able to use any HD audio formats or 5.1 LPCM though.

How much worst are we talking here. It might be best I just get the TV before upgrading the sound system and see what it sounds like.

The PC currently sends PCM and I am running L, R, C and Subwoofer.
