hdmi 2.1
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1330650
Higher Video Resolutions support a range of higher resolutions and faster refresh rates including 8K60Hz and 4K120Hz for immersive viewing and smooth fast-action detail. Dynamic HDR ensures every moment of a video is displayed at its ideal values for depth, detail, brightness, contrast, and wider color gamuts-on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis. 48G cables enable up to 48Gbps bandwidth for uncompressed HDMI 2.1 feature support including 8K video with HDR. The cable is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI Specification and can be used with existing HDMI devices. eARC supports the most advanced audio formats such as object-based audio, and enables advanced audio signal control capabilities including device auto-detect. Game Mode VRR features variable refresh rate, which enables a 3D graphics processor to display the image at the moment it is rendered for more fluid and better detailed gameplay, and for reducing or eliminating lag, stutter, and frame tearing. The new specification will be available to all HDMI 2.0 Adopters and they will be notified when it is released early in Q2 2017. Tobias adds, "How an individual piece of equipment will meet the 2.1 standard will depend on the manufacturer and the features. Some manufacturers may be able to achieve 2.1 compliance with just a firmware upgrade; others will require new hardware," he says. Wow just when I was all set to buy a new tv then hdmi 2.1 comes along, do you really want to take the gamble on firmware updates?? |

I seriously doubt there's going to be any source hardware able to take advantage of the increased bandwidth any time soon. Look at UHD/4K HDR; we've known about it for years, but how many people do you know with a UHD Blu-ray player that can fully stretch the capabilities of the interface?
I see no reason for holding off with a TV upgrade now for what is essentially vapourware. By the time we have 4K/120Hz then it'll be time again to change your TV, so don't worry about it right now.

![]() ![]() As you say, no point waiting to buy a TV, if you do you'll be waiting the rest of your life as there's always something new just 'round the corner' - although 'new' might not be better

It'll never happen, 8K will replace 4K long before that

I wasn't going to be buying a 4k tv until the xbox scorpio comes out in November. No point in upgrading until I have 4k*games
Will wait and see if xbox one supports any of it (game mode) and if current TV's get an update as well. If not I will wait until early next year and pick*up a newer model. No doubt at ces 2018 they will start to show of 8k TV's, and then I will wait some more.
