Yeah, totally! You can use a 2.1 HDMI cable with a monitor that's only got 2.0 support. It's backwards compatible, so no worries there. You won't get all the fancy 2.1 features, but it'll work just fine for what you got!
You'll still be able to connect your PS5 using an HDMI 2.1 cable to a 2.0 monitor. However, you won't be able to take full advantage of the higher bandwidth and features like 8K resolution and 120Hz refresh rates offered by HDMI 2.1 since your monitor only supports HDMI 2.0. Your experience will be limited to what HDMI 2.0 can deliver.
I game a lot on my ps5 and have question which one is more preferred monitor a HDMI 2.1 with 350 HDR or a 1000 HDR with a HDMI 2.0! I can not afford both and need to know best for ps5
For PS5 gaming, HDMI 2.1 with 350 HDR is probs the better pick. It's got faster refresh and better frame rates, super important for gaming. 1000 HDR on HDMI 2.0 is cool for colors and contrast, but for gaming, that refresh rate and frame speed matters more. So, yeah, HDMI 2.1 with 350 HDR should be awesome for your PS5!
Your 1050ti and your monitor both support HDMI 2.0, which is able to handle 1080p at 165Hz. So, a HDMI 2.0 cable should work just fine for your needs. No need to go for a HDMI 2.1 cable unless you plan to upgrade to a 4K or 8K display in the future.
Will Hdmi 2.0 support 1440p @120hz or would it have to be Hdmi 2.1? My ps5 supports 1440p @120 hz I am looking for a monitor like that but all of them have hdmi 2.0. Is my only option to get a 4k monitor with Hdmi 2.1?
HDMI 2.0 can definitely handle 1440p at 120Hz, so you're good to go with those monitors for your PS5. HDMI 2.1 would be more necessary if you were aiming for 4K at 120Hz. Just make sure the monitor you choose has a good response time and picture quality to make the most of your gaming experience. Happy gaming! 🎮
@@melvinjuarez7359 HDMI 2.0 doesn't officially support VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), but the good news is that some devices with HDMI 2.0 have been updated to support it through firmware updates. However, if you want the full, guaranteed VRR experience, HDMI 2.1 is the way to go as it's built into the standard.
Hello, quick question - I’m related to Burt Callahan IV, but he didn’t raise me to be no Quaker. Will the length of the cable make a difference? For example, if I had the cable running from upstairs to the basement?
Hey there! About the cable length, yeah, it can make a difference. Longer HDMI cables, especially over 15-20 feet, can sometimes lose signal quality. For a long run like upstairs to basement, you might wanna look into a higher quality cable or even a signal booster.
Hello i have a xbox series x now i see very subtle flickers of light im thinking that its the hdmi but my hdmi is a 2.0 one so im switching to a 2.1 will it be any better on the 2.1 hdmi? My monitor is a 1920x1080p monitor that goes up to 100hz would i get atleast a little bit of benefit from the 2.1 hdmi?
Switching to HDMI 2.1 might help with the flickers, especially since it's better at handling higher bandwidth, but honestly, with your 1080p monitor, you won't see a massive difference in performance 'cause it's not pushing the limits that HDMI 2.1 can handle. It could be worth a shot though, maybe it'll fix the flickering issue at least!
Hey there! Yeah, upgrading to HDMI 2.1 can make a diffrence for your HiSense U8K TV, especially since it's 144hz. With HDMI 2.1, you'll get better frame rates and smoother gameplay compared to the older 1.4 HDMI. Definetly worth trying out for a better gaming experiance!
I have a question 🤔 So if I were to bought a HDMI 2.1 cable so I can get 4k 120HZ on PS5 will my tv still get 120Hz if my Tv is 4k 60Hz and does not support 120hz.
If your TV is only 4k 60Hz and doesn't support 120Hz, then getting a HDMI 2.1 cable won't make a difference. Your TV will still show 60Hz even with the new cable.
For gaming, it kinda depends on what you're looking for. HDMI 2.1 is great for high refresh rates and it's good for newer consoles and TVs. DP is also awesome, especially for PC gaming. It supports high refresh rates too. So, if you're into PC gaming, DP might be the way to go. But for consoles, HDMI 2.1 is your best bet.
To take full advantage of your 165Hz monitor, an HDMI 2.0 cable would work just fine as it supports refresh rates up to 240Hz at 1080p. However, if you're running games at a higher resolution like 4K, you might want to consider an HDMI 2.1 cable which supports higher refresh rates at that resolution.
Hi, I have a Apple TV 4K and a 4K TV with Dolby vision and HDR, do I need a hdmi 2.1 cable to get everything? Or a regular high speed hdmi work just fine, my tv hdmi port is 2.1 and Apple TV 4K also 2.1
Hey! So, you've got some cool gear there! With your Apple TV 4K and a TV that supports Dolby Vision and HDR, you're mostly good with a high-speed HDMI cable. It should handle 4K, HDR, and all that jazz. But, HDMI 2.1 cables do have their perks, like higher bandwidth for even smoother performance, especially if you're into gaming or want that extra future-proofing. Since both your TV and Apple TV support HDMI 2.1, grabbing a 2.1 cable could be a good move for the best experience. But if you're not seeing any issues now, a regular high-speed cable is pretty solid too.
Sure, you can use a HDMI 2.1 cable with your monitor's HDMI 2.0 port. You won't get all the advanced features of HDMI 2.1, but it’ll work fine and maybe even a bit better than the old cable!
Hey! So for DTS X and Dolby, HDMI 2.0 should work with ARC but eARC is better for these cuz it handles more data. If your TV has eARC and soundbar has just ARC, you might not get the full quality. Try connecting them with an HDMI cable that supports HDMI 2.0 and see if it works out. Fingers crossed! 🤞🎶📺

Hey! So, for HDMI 2.1, you'll need a matrix switch that specifically says it supports 2.1 to get all the features like higher refresh rates and stuff. HDMI over Cat6 lets you extend HDMI connections over longer distances without losing quality, but you'll need proper converters. The cables do matter; make sure they're certified for your setup. As for Dolby Atmos and 7.1, not all switche
Hi, I have a hp x24ih gaming monitor and I want to know what hdmi should I use. I mostly play games like Fortnite and Roblox and they feel slow and I have an Xbox s one I it doesn’t allow me to have 4k but it lets me have 120hz
Hey! For your HP x24ih and Xbox S, HDMI 2.0 should work fine for 120Hz. 2.1 is more for 4K at high refresh rates. If games feel slow, check your Xbox settings and make sure it's set to 120Hz.
Yes, the physical design of the HDMI port remains the same between 2.0 and 2.1. However, the difference lies in the data transmission capacity and features offered by HDMI 2.1. It supports higher resolutions, frame rates, and bandwidth than HDMI 2.0.
Hey there! For Dolby Atmos sound bar, HDMI 2.0 ARC can work, but HDMI 2.1 eARC is better for higher quality audio. It's like, more bandwidth with 2.1 eARC, so you get better sound. Hope this helps! 👍📺🔊
If I have a 4K UHD blu ray player....does it matter which cable I use? should I use a 2.1? and if so, do I need to connect to the input on the TV that says 4K120Hz or is maximum out of a blu ray player 60fps? your help is appreciated.
Hey there! For the best experience with your 4K UHD Blu-ray player, it's wise to use an HDMI 2.1 cable. While most content is 24fps or 60fps, using HDMI 2.1 ensures you're future-proofed. As for the TV input, you can use the 4K120Hz port, since it's compatible with lower frame rates too. Happy watching! 🍿📺
@@talkingwithcars That's correct! There's no downside to using the 4K 60Hz input for your 4K UHD Blu-ray player. HDMI 2.0 ports, which are typically rated for 4K 60Hz, can handle most content, including movies and TV shows, without any issues. Using the 4K 60Hz input will still deliver a great viewing experience. However, if you want to be prepared for any future advancements in frame rates or resolutions, it doesn't hurt to use the 4K120Hz port. Enjoy your movies! 🎬📺
Hello , I have a question for you guys & I appreciate any help I can get. If I switch to a 2.1 HDMI cable will it give an increase in image quality on my 75 inch 4K TV ???
Hey! So, switching to a HDMI 2.1 cable, huh? It's a cool upgrade, but it really depends on your TV and what you're watching or playing. HDMI 2.1's great for higher frame rates and resolutions, like 8K or 4K at 120Hz. But if your TV and the content you're using don't support these, you might not see a big difference. It's all about what your gear can handle. Hope this helps a bit!
So with your Xbox One X, you won't see all the benefits that HDMI 2.1 offers, since the Xbox One X mainly supports HDMI 2.0 features. HDMI 2.1 is great for newer consoles like the Xbox Series X, where it lets you use higher frame rates and resolutions (like 4K at 120Hz). But still, using a HDMI 2.1 cable with your setup isn't a bad idea-it's kind of future-proofing. If you decide to upgrade to a newer console or TV later on, you'll already have the right cable.
HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort have different strengths. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, and it also includes features like Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). On the other hand, DisplayPort 1.4 supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz, too, but with a data rate of 32.4 Gbps, which is higher than HDMI 2.1's 24 Gbps. This higher bandwidth might give DisplayPort a slight edge for ultra-high-res monitors or multi-monitor setups. So, for gaming or general use, HDMI 2.1 would be great due to its gaming-focused features. But for professional use, especially where you need very high resolution, DisplayPort might be the better choice. Both are quite capable, though, so your specific needs will dictate which is better for you.
@@hifiaudios8101 Thank you for the fast and detailed answer. Much appreciated. I was asking the question because I'm gaming at 2k and i'm upgrading to a RTX 4080. The asus TUF offers 2x2.1 HDMI so I was wondering whether I shoulder consider that. My monitor is a MSI Optix 27in QHD IPS 165Hz G-Sync Gaming Monitor. So I was wondering whether I would benefit from HDMI 2.1 as I'm already hitting max frame with it.
Actually, HDMI types like 2.0 and 2.1 can affect things like refresh rates and bandwidth, which indirectly impacts response times, especially for gaming or high-res video. HDMI 2.1 supports faster refresh rates, so it's a bit better for that kind of stuff! Hope that clears it up a bit! 👍📺
Hey, so yeah, HDMI 2.0 can actually support up to 144Hz, but it really depends on the resolution too. If you're going for a 165Hz monitor, it might work, but you might not get the full 165Hz, especially at higher resolutions. Just something to keep in mind before buying. Hope this helps a bit
It's unlikely that the difference between HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 is causing the low sound issue. HDMI 2.1 has more to do with higher resolution and faster refresh rates. Your low sound issue could be related to the settings on your set-top box or TV. Make sure the audio settings on both are configured correctly, and if your set-top box has its own volume control, check that too. Sometimes it's just a matter of tweaking a few settings
Oh, totally get your point there! Yeah, HDMI 2.1 is actually backward compatible with 2.0. So, you should be able to use them together without much trouble. Sorry for missing out on mentioning that in the video, and thanks for pointing it out! Hope this clears things up for ya!
J’ai un écran msi 1920x1080p et j’ai un câble HDMI 2.1 avant j’avais un câble 2.0 pour mettre le 2.1 sur ma ps5 sa change quoi ? Vue que mon écran fais 1920x1080p sur du 2.1
Salut ! Avec un écran 1920x1080p, tu ne verras probablement pas de différence majeure entre les câbles HDMI 2.0 et 2.1. La version 2.1 peut supporter des résolutions et taux de rafraîchissement plus élevés, mais puisque ton écran a ces spécifications, tu ne verras probablement pas de changement. Cela dit, le 2.1 peut offrir une meilleure future preuve si tu décides de mettre à niveau ton écran plus tard. Bon jeu !
Good question! 😊 Usually it's hard to tell just by looking. Sometimes, the high-speed ones have it written on them. But not always. You might need to check the packaging or the manual. Or, try looking up the model number online? Hope this helps a bit!
Pretty sure this has been asked already but if u have a 4K tv that supports 120hz but only if it’s at 1080 would this cable help if it doesn’t have Dolby vision so then that way u could game with the series x at 4K 120 hz
oh for sure, if u wanna make the most outta your 120hz and 1440p monitor, grabbing an HDMI 2.1 cable is a smart move. it's all about that smoother gameplay and sharper images. HDMI 2.0 works fine, but 2.1 just kicks it up a notch with better bandwidth
Sure, you can use a HDMI 2.1 cable in a HDMI 2.0 port. It'll just work at 2.0's capabilities, not 2.1's. So, you won't get all the fancy features of 2.1 but it'll still work fine.
If you're planning to use a 165Hz monitor, it's best to use an HDMI 2.1 cable. While HDMI 2.0 can support up to 144Hz at 1080p, it might not provide the full 165Hz at higher resolutions. The Dell XPS 8700 has an HDMI port, but you need to check if it's 2.1. If not, you may need to consider a graphics card upgrade or using DisplayPort if it's available and your monitor supports it.
Hey there! Good question. Generally, using an HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.0 connection should provide the best quality because it can take full advantage of HDMI 2.0's capabilities. An HDMI 2.0 to 1.4 connection might limit the performance to the 1.4 standard. So, it's not really about speed, but more about the features and capabilities that each version supports. Hope that clears it up! 👍📺
With the increased bandwidth in HDMI 2.1, you'll definitely see a boost in speed. So if your setup needs that extra oomph, the HDMI 2.1 cable has got your back!
So hdmi 2.0 and 2.1 are same ,i can fit hdmi 2.1 in same place as 2.0 ... I want to buy ps5 but my friend told me that ps use 2.1 HDMI my monitor has 2.0 so I can't connect ps5 on my monitor?
HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 are not the same, but they are backward compatible. This means that an HDMI 2.1 cable can be plugged into an HDMI 2.0 port and vice versa. The PlayStation 5 (PS5) uses an HDMI 2.1 output, which supports higher resolutions and refresh rates than HDMI 2.0. However, you can still connect your PS5 to your HDMI 2.0 monitor using an HDMI 2.1 cable. The PS5 will recognize the limitations of your monitor and adjust its output accordingly. While you won't be able to take full advantage of HDMI 2.1 features, like 4K resolution at 120Hz or 8K resolution at 60Hz, your PS5 will still function properly with your HDMI 2.0 monitor. So, you can connect your PS5 to your HDMI 2.0 monitor without any issues, but keep in mind that you won't be able to experience the full range of capabilities offered by the HDMI 2.1 standard.
@@hifiaudios8101is cable that comes with ps 5 Really HDMI 2.1 ? Cuz my tv have 3 ports and it have also 120 hz output but I still can't get HDMI 2.1 source in tv settings
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😄 The test at 1:37 is a bandwidth test that shows how much data HDMI 2.1 can handle compared to 2.0. Super useful for seeing the diff in real time!
Yeah, HDMI 2.1 can support 120fps on the PS5 if your TV or monitor also supports that refresh rate. HDMI 2.0 is usually fine up to 60fps, so for the higher frame rates, 2.1 is the way to go. Make sure your game supports 120fps too!
Sweet, HDMI 2.0 should work great with your Xbox Series S, especially for HDR and HiFi surround sound. Even though HDMI 2.1 has more features, 2.0's got ya covered for most gaming needs.
Hey! Actually, an HDMI 2.1 cable will work with a monitor that supports HDMI 2.0. The cable is backwards compatible! However, you won't get the extra features of HDMI 2.1 like higher frame rates and resolutions since the monitor is built for HDMI 2.0. It’s like having a sports car but driving in an area with a speed limit - still works, just can’t use the full power.
Yep, HDMI 2.0 can handle 1440p at 120Hz, no sweat! Just make sure your cable and devices are all up to snuff. Sometimes it's the little things that trip ya up. Happy gaming or whatever you're planning to do with that sweet setup!
Yup, both HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 should support a 2K monitor just fine. Just check if ur monitor's refresh rate is really high, HDMI 2.1 might be better cuz it handles higher speeds

HDMI 2.0 ports, which are typically rated for 4K 60Hz, can handle most content, including movies and TV shows, without any issues. Using the 4K 60Hz input will still deliver a great viewing experience. However, if you want to be prepared for any future advancements in frame rates or resolutions, it doesn't hurt to use the 4K120Hz port. Enjoy your movies! 🎬📺
@@hifiaudios8101😅
Hello , I have a question for you guys & I appreciate any help I can get. If I switch to a 2.1 HDMI cable will it give an increase in image quality on my 75 inch 4K TV ???
Hey! So, switching to a HDMI 2.1 cable, huh? It's a cool upgrade, but it really depends on your TV and what you're watching or playing. HDMI 2.1's great for higher frame rates and resolutions, like 8K or 4K at 120Hz. But if your TV and the content you're using don't support these, you might not see a big difference. It's all about what your gear can handle. Hope this helps a bit!
Will I see advantages of using a HDMI 2.1 cable and TV with a Xbox One X?
So with your Xbox One X, you won't see all the benefits that HDMI 2.1 offers, since the Xbox One X mainly supports HDMI 2.0 features. HDMI 2.1 is great for newer consoles like the Xbox Series X, where it lets you use higher frame rates and resolutions (like 4K at 120Hz).
But still, using a HDMI 2.1 cable with your setup isn't a bad idea-it's kind of future-proofing. If you decide to upgrade to a newer console or TV later on, you'll already have the right cable.
@@hifiaudios8101 I really appreciate your feedback, thank you!
How does HDMI 2.1 compare to display port on graphics card?s
HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort have different strengths. HDMI 2.1 supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, and it also includes features like Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC).
On the other hand, DisplayPort 1.4 supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz, too, but with a data rate of 32.4 Gbps, which is higher than HDMI 2.1's 24 Gbps. This higher bandwidth might give DisplayPort a slight edge for ultra-high-res monitors or multi-monitor setups.
So, for gaming or general use, HDMI 2.1 would be great due to its gaming-focused features. But for professional use, especially where you need very high resolution, DisplayPort might be the better choice. Both are quite capable, though, so your specific needs will dictate which is better for you.
@@hifiaudios8101 Thank you for the fast and detailed answer. Much appreciated. I was asking the question because I'm gaming at 2k and i'm upgrading to a RTX 4080. The asus TUF offers 2x2.1 HDMI so I was wondering whether I shoulder consider that. My monitor is a MSI Optix 27in QHD IPS 165Hz G-Sync Gaming Monitor. So I was wondering whether I would benefit from HDMI 2.1 as I'm already hitting max frame with it.
hdmi types shoulnt affect between response times or not?
Actually, HDMI types like 2.0 and 2.1 can affect things like refresh rates and bandwidth, which indirectly impacts response times, especially for gaming or high-res video. HDMI 2.1 supports faster refresh rates, so it's a bit better for that kind of stuff! Hope that clears it up a bit! 👍📺
@@hifiaudios8101 thx
bro my laptop has HDMI 2.0 and people said hdmi ccan only run max at 144hz, is it true? cuz im planning on buying 165hz monitor
Hey, so yeah, HDMI 2.0 can actually support up to 144Hz, but it really depends on the resolution too. If you're going for a 165Hz monitor, it might work, but you might not get the full 165Hz, especially at higher resolutions. Just something to keep in mind before buying. Hope this helps a bit
I put HDMI 2.0 in my tv HDMI 2.1. so it can cause low sound because my tv has good sound in online and low sound in settup box ???? Answer me
It's unlikely that the difference between HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 is causing the low sound issue. HDMI 2.1 has more to do with higher resolution and faster refresh rates. Your low sound issue could be related to the settings on your set-top box or TV. Make sure the audio settings on both are configured correctly, and if your set-top box has its own volume control, check that too. Sometimes it's just a matter of tweaking a few settings
I have a 4K monitor LG with HDMI 2.0 can i play at 4K 120hz on PS5?
Nah, HDMI 2.0 usually maxes out at 4K 60Hz. For 4K 120Hz, you'd need HDMI 2.1. So with your setup, it's gonna be 4K at 60Hz max. Happy gaming tho
@@hifiaudios8101 is 4K 60hz smooth? I'm new at gaming
would it kill you to inform us if the 2-1 is backward compatible with 2.0 ?
Oh, totally get your point there! Yeah, HDMI 2.1 is actually backward compatible with 2.0. So, you should be able to use them together without much trouble. Sorry for missing out on mentioning that in the video, and thanks for pointing it out! Hope this clears things up for ya!
J’ai un écran msi 1920x1080p et j’ai un câble HDMI 2.1 avant j’avais un câble 2.0 pour mettre le 2.1 sur ma ps5 sa change quoi ? Vue que mon écran fais 1920x1080p sur du 2.1
Salut ! Avec un écran 1920x1080p, tu ne verras probablement pas de différence majeure entre les câbles HDMI 2.0 et 2.1. La version 2.1 peut supporter des résolutions et taux de rafraîchissement plus élevés, mais puisque ton écran a ces spécifications, tu ne verras probablement pas de changement. Cela dit, le 2.1 peut offrir une meilleure future preuve si tu décides de mettre à niveau ton écran plus tard. Bon jeu !
What is the physical difference and how can you tell from the cable if it isn't marked?
Good question! 😊 Usually it's hard to tell just by looking. Sometimes, the high-speed ones have it written on them. But not always. You might need to check the packaging or the manual. Or, try looking up the model number online? Hope this helps a bit!
Pretty sure this has been asked already but if u have a 4K tv that supports 120hz but only if it’s at 1080 would this cable help if it doesn’t have Dolby vision so then that way u could game with the series x at 4K 120 hz
if ur TV supports 120Hz only at 1080p, then HDMI 2.1 won't make it do 4K at 120Hz. It's more about what your TV can handle, not just the cable.
@@hifiaudios8101 thanks I figured that was the case since the Xbox cable supports hdmi 2.1 but I saw a video which said otherwise
I have monitor 120hz and 1440p I need buy the HDMI ??
oh for sure, if u wanna make the most outta your 120hz and 1440p monitor, grabbing an HDMI 2.1 cable is a smart move. it's all about that smoother gameplay and sharper images. HDMI 2.0 works fine, but 2.1 just kicks it up a notch with better bandwidth
@@hifiaudios8101 thx
Can you use A HDMI 2.1 cable in A 2.0 port?
Sure, you can use a HDMI 2.1 cable in a HDMI 2.0 port. It'll just work at 2.0's capabilities, not 2.1's. So, you won't get all the fancy features of 2.1 but it'll still work fine.
@@hifiaudios8101 what features do I miss then
What should i use for a 165hz monitor? I have a Dell xps 8700
If you're planning to use a 165Hz monitor, it's best to use an HDMI 2.1 cable. While HDMI 2.0 can support up to 144Hz at 1080p, it might not provide the full 165Hz at higher resolutions. The Dell XPS 8700 has an HDMI port, but you need to check if it's 2.1. If not, you may need to consider a graphics card upgrade or using DisplayPort if it's available and your monitor supports it.

question: is it faster to use hdmi 2.0 to display 1.4 then hdmi 2.0 to hdmi 2.0??
Hey there! Good question. Generally, using an HDMI 2.0 to HDMI 2.0 connection should provide the best quality because it can take full advantage of HDMI 2.0's capabilities. An HDMI 2.0 to 1.4 connection might limit the performance to the 1.4 standard. So, it's not really about speed, but more about the features and capabilities that each version supports. Hope that clears it up! 👍📺
Amount speed get with increased bandwidth so if needed wire will have needed speed if need it.
With the increased bandwidth in HDMI 2.1, you'll definitely see a boost in speed. So if your setup needs that extra oomph, the HDMI 2.1 cable has got your back!
You could understand what he was trying to say??? Lol
So hdmi 2.0 and 2.1 are same ,i can fit hdmi 2.1 in same place as 2.0 ... I want to buy ps5 but my friend told me that ps use 2.1 HDMI my monitor has 2.0 so I can't connect ps5 on my monitor?
HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 are not the same, but they are backward compatible. This means that an HDMI 2.1 cable can be plugged into an HDMI 2.0 port and vice versa.
The PlayStation 5 (PS5) uses an HDMI 2.1 output, which supports higher resolutions and refresh rates than HDMI 2.0. However, you can still connect your PS5 to your HDMI 2.0 monitor using an HDMI 2.1 cable. The PS5 will recognize the limitations of your monitor and adjust its output accordingly. While you won't be able to take full advantage of HDMI 2.1 features, like 4K resolution at 120Hz or 8K resolution at 60Hz, your PS5 will still function properly with your HDMI 2.0 monitor.
So, you can connect your PS5 to your HDMI 2.0 monitor without any issues, but keep in mind that you won't be able to experience the full range of capabilities offered by the HDMI 2.1 standard.

Great vid! What is the test that was used @ 1:37?
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😄 The test at 1:37 is a bandwidth test that shows how much data HDMI 2.1 can handle compared to 2.0. Super useful for seeing the diff in real time!
@@hifiaudios8101 That's awesome. I'd love to do that test on my display. Can you tell me where I can get it?
Does it give u 120fps on ps5
Yeah, HDMI 2.1 can support 120fps on the PS5 if your TV or monitor also supports that refresh rate. HDMI 2.0 is usually fine up to 60fps, so for the higher frame rates, 2.1 is the way to go. Make sure your game supports 120fps too!
Good info thanks
I bought me a HE 2.0 that support HDR and Hifi surround sounds on my Xbox series S
Sweet, HDMI 2.0 should work great with your Xbox Series S, especially for HDR and HiFi surround sound. Even though HDMI 2.1 has more features, 2.0's got ya covered for most gaming needs.
So a hdmi 2.1 cable wont work with a monitor that is made to support hdmi 2.0
Hey! Actually, an HDMI 2.1 cable will work with a monitor that supports HDMI 2.0. The cable is backwards compatible! However, you won't get the extra features of HDMI 2.1 like higher frame rates and resolutions since the monitor is built for HDMI 2.0. It’s like having a sports car but driving in an area with a speed limit - still works, just can’t use the full power.
Can an HDMI 2.0 run 1440p 120Hz?
Yep, HDMI 2.0 can handle 1440p at 120Hz, no sweat! Just make sure your cable and devices are all up to snuff. Sometimes it's the little things that trip ya up. Happy gaming or whatever you're planning to do with that sweet setup!
2.1 only supports 60hz? Doesnt that seem, strange?
nah, HDMI 2.1 can actualy support way more than 60hz, it's one of the big upgrades from 2.0. kinda cool, right?
Ur saying the same things over and over again… i Need answers. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1.4 CABLE AND 2.1 HOW CAN I TELL WHATS WHAT?
why are you blending in a guy randomly? that's fckn creepy!
It is support 2k Moniter
Yup, both HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 should support a 2K monitor just fine. Just check if ur monitor's refresh rate is really high, HDMI 2.1 might be better cuz it handles higher speeds
