HDMI 2.2 doubles bandwidth to 96Gbps, enabling uncompressed 4K at 240Hz

In other news, Apple has just announced a 32K monitor running at 10,000 Hz. It costs a quarter million dollars and is already backordered.
 
The more telling benchmark here is how DisplayPort 2.1 adoption went — it's been in the spec since 2022 and widespread GPU support still isn't there in 2026.
 
No top TVs have DP, and your link did not work - Hisense is LCD crap. Their OS is god awful.

Look at any new and recommended OLED or RGB LCD, they don't have DP.

You must be clueless about TVs, if you think this will change. HDMI is default on TVs and consoles, won't change.
 
Only because they want the licensing fees… having DisplayPort would be awesome - you don’t need arc/earc if you simply run another cable from the TV to your receiver (audio out) . People have been running perfectly good sound systems long before ARC/EARC was a thing…
Yeah they have, 10-20 years ago. Stuff like optical is dead in the water today. Don't even support hidef audio formats.

Smells like most of you don't know what high-end TVs and Audio is.
My TV and Audio system in the living room: 25.000 US Dollars combined. Lets talk again when you have actual high-end experience.

Let me guess, you use some random 10+ year old edge lit LCD TV? You can find crap like that in the landfill here. It is not even a joke.

People that use high-end TVs and audio, has no need for DP. They want HDMI 2.x with eARC. Hence why no high-end TVs have DP today. DP is for PCs, monitors. HDMI is for TVs, consoles.

It is that simple really.

If you have 25k worth of audio equipment, why on earth are you using earc?!?!
You shouldn’t be using any sound from your TV - everything should be connected to your high end AVR and going out to your high end speakers and subwoofers…

At the high end, your TV should just be a display - all sound should be processed by your AVR… you don’t need eARC/ARC as now you’re relying on your TV to process audio that can be done WAY better by a fancy AVR…

I am using eARC so my AVR handles all the sound in my living room. What are you even trying to say. I don't use TV sound at all. My speakers, subs, are blasting when TV turns on, everything including top codecs gets processed to perfection directly to my AVR with eARC.

Do you know what earc is? Your audio is coming FROM your TV to the AVR if you’re using it… which is silly… your sound should never originate from your TV if you’re paying that much money…

You are literally clueless. Come again when you have actual experience with high-end TVs and sound systems / AVRs.

Also HDMI CEC is gold.

People that cream for DP on TVs has no clue, and for sure don't use anything new.

I bet you are all using old LCD TVs, probably edge lit garbage.

So you don’t understand what it is… fair enough… again, WHY are you using earc?!? Why is your sound coming from your TV? What is your plan for when your TV gets old and the interface becomes sluggish - you gonna buy a new one? Or… if your sound was coming from your AVR, you could replace the Apple TV/Shield/etc that the sound SHOULD be originating from in the first place…

As for CEC - if you truly have such an expensive setup, why don’t you have a good universal remote and CEC disabled on every device to make sure it works?

You are 100% clueless about TV and Audio. Just stop. You are making a fool out of yourself. It is obvious that you don't have any experience with high-end AV equipment.

Universal remote? What is this, 2010? You don't need one when you have ARC/CEC. What do I need a fugly universal remote for?

Let me guess, you are using an old edge lit LCD TV with optical out, because your reciever is too old to handle ARC or your TV don't support it at all. Come again when you have actual experience with top tier AV products.

My Sony A95L 77" QD-OLED says hi. I don't buy low end stuff. I don't buy LCD garbage. I don't even buy mid-end OLED. Only top notch products. I don't compromise.

Soon I am going 85" or bigger with Bravia 9 is the plan. Unless I go WOLED/QD-OLED again with a 83"

I don't keep a TV for more than a few years. I constantly upgrade and chase image quality. Been at CES multiple times as well.

Unless you have like 2 devices, CEC is crap… and again - WHY are you using earc if you have expensive stuff?!?!?

I have a QOLED 85” from Samsung, ATV, htpc, ps4, Wii, and Bell Fibe receiver all connected to my Denon x6700h that I run a 9.2.4 speaker setup with…

Gonna swap out the Samsung one day with a 98” TCL most likely… but earc is silly… why would I allow my audio to be touched by my TV when I have superior audio processing already?
