More technical details will be released on Jan 6, but for now we know HDMI 2.2 is coming in 2025 and brings with it higher bandwidth that allows for higher resolution and refresh rates. It's understood there will be tighter control on the cable specs this time around

HDMI 2.2 specs with increased bandwidth to be announced at CES 2025 - VideoCardz.com

Next-Gen HDMI specs to be announced in January Could the GeForce RTX 50 and Radeon RX 8000 series not only support DisplayPort 2.1 but also a new HDMI standard? It seems possible, given that the HDMI Forum has just announced it will reveal new specifications for the standard at CES 2025...

QN900D ;) but yes an OLED 4K 240hz TV would be insane.

Ooh that's pretty cool, didn't know any 240hz TVs were out there yet, must be using DSC to do it. I'll wait though, that model doesn't come in the size I want and also yeah Id prefer OLED

I wonder if we'll see hdmi 2.2 TVs and 240hz TVs announced now at CES, I certainly hope so, will make for a nice upgrade over my C9 that I've had for 6 years now

No idea what the new spec is but probably higher refresh, resolution etc. ie 8K @ 120hz, 4K @ 480hz etc blah blah

Not interested in changing.

We don't yet know the bandwidth, but HDMI2.1 is 48Gbps and DP2.1 is 80Gbps. I like to think HDMI 2.2 will be at least 80Gbps, and if it's higher than that's the cherry on top

With 80Gbps we'd be able to have 4k 240hz TVs that output 10bit HDR RGB 4:4:4 and no DSC. 8k 120hz is also possible using YUV4:2:2

4k 480hz requires 150Gbps bandwidth without sacrifices, you can get it down to 100Gbps with YUV4:2:2 and 83Gbps with 8 bit color, so theoretically 4k 480hz may be doable if the signal is YUV4:2:2 with 8 bit color only.
