ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE: This Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 supports a range of higher video resolutions and refreshing rates, including 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz and 1080p@144Hz, as well as new features such as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel that can stream the more complex multi channel ...
Yes, HDMI 2.0 can support 144Hz refresh rates at 1080p resolution. In fact, HDMI 2.0 performs even better; it supports 1440p content at 144Hz with no color compression.
HDMI 2.0 supports 4k video at 60 FPS (even though most movies are filmed at 24 FPS). The standout feature of HDMI 2.1 is its support for massive 8k resolutions.
HDMI 2.0 is also fairly standard and can be used for 240Hz at 1080p, 144Hz at 1440p and 60Hz at 4K. The latest HDMI 2.1 adds native support for 144Hz at 4K UHD and 60Hz at 8K.
HDMI 2.0 carries combinations like 1440p 165Hz with no issue, and for 1080p, frame rates of 240Hz are no problem. On PC, HDMI is secondary to DisplayPort, which offers significantly more bandwidth, with DP 1.4 not that far from HDMI 2.1 and capable of 4K 120Hz.
I can confirm HDMI 2.0 can output 1920 x 1080p 165hz no problem. Also, remember, it's not the version of the cable that matters, they're all the same. It's the port versions that matter. I think the bottleneck here isn't your monitor if it states explicitly that it has a 2.0 port.
Released in September 2013, the specification includes support of increased bandwidth up to 18 Gbps, resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz, simultaneous delivery of two video streams and up to four audio streams, 32 channels of audio, as well as other key enhancements.
HDMI 2.1 allows for higher resolutions like 8K and higher frame rates of up to 120 frames per second (fps). Resolution improves the clarity and sharpness of the picture, which means you can simply see more details, and have less distance to the screen or a bigger screen without noticing any pixels.
If you want to play on 120hz on consoles you need: HDMI 1.4b for 1080p@120hz There are 2 Versions of 1.4 so you have to be sure your Monitor has HDMI 1.4b. HDMI 2.0 is needed for 1440p@120hz HDMI 2.1 is needed for 4k@120hz but there are no games which supports that.
HDMI 2.0 systems can transfer data at up to 18Gbps, up from 10.2Gbps in HDMI 1.4. 4K@50/60, (2160p) – this is four times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution.
Premium HDMI even supports 8K 30Hz, and that's not happening on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Games in 4K 60Hz with HDR work perfectly on premium HDMI (HDMI 2.0), with room to spare. Note that the PS5/Xbox Series X|S ship with an ultra high speed HDMI cable (HDMI 2.1), so if you have that, use it.
HDMI 2.0 has a high enough data rate to natively handle 1440p at 144Hz, but not 4K. That is reserved for the latest HDMI 2.1 specification. DisplayPort cables are designed more with high-end desktop computers in mind, so it's no surprise that its cables have been more capable of 144Hz for several generations.
HDMI 2.0 increases the maximum TMDS per channel throughput from 3.4 Gbit/s to 6 Gbit/s which allows for a maximum total TMDS throughput of 18 Gbit/s. That allows HDMI 2.0 to carry 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (fps). Other features of HDMI 2.0 include the options of the Rec.
An HDMI 2.0 cable can support a maximum resolution of 4K at 60Hz (2). This means it can deliver video with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels at a frame rate of 60 frames per second. This is four times the clarity of 1080p resolution (1).
HDMI 2, on the other hand, was introduced in 2013 and provides significant improvements over HDMI 1. It supports a maximum resolution of 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at 60 Hz with up to 12-bit color depth, which provides a wider range of colors and greater detail in images.
Bandwidth: DisplayPort generally offers higher bandwidth, allowing for higher resolutions and refresh rates. Multiple Displays: DisplayPort can support multiple monitors simultaneously, while HDMI typically supports only one. Audio Return Channel: HDMI features ARC, which DisplayPort lacks.
