    Sony's Hideaki Nishino: PS5 doesn't support 1440p out-of-the-box due to TV priority, if there is enough requests it will be added.

    Posted: 10 Nov 2020 01:37 PM PST

    Interview here (Japanese):
    https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/series/rt/1288103.html

    The current PS5 does not support 1440p output, but this is based on the idea that "our priority is to support TVs" (Mr. Nishino). If there are a lot of requests for this, they will be able to support it at ...... while keeping an eye on market trends.

    To give direct feedback for Sony, post a comment in this blog post (which has been flooded with 1440p requests):

    What do you think will be the next major jump in hardware?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2020 11:27 AM PST

    I remember when I first got an SSD in 2013, my jaw dropped at how much faster everything was. It was the same feeling when I first upgraded to DSL from dial-up, or to VGA from EGA, or when I saw a video playing on a computer screen for the first time.

    Technology is, of course, getting better every year, and we can do amazing things we could never do even a few years ago, but what do you think is going to be the next big jump that makes us wonder how we got along before it (in terms of hardware capabilities available to the average person)?

    How do you verify which parts of the HDMI 2.1 specification are supported by a given port/device?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:32 AM PST

    Since 4K 120 Hz TVs have become immensely more affordable (and better) at gaming than many computer displays, HDMI became seriously important for many of us.

    Manufacturers of devices with HDMI ports were quick to start claiming HDMI 2.1 support well before the 1st complementary signal sources were available.

    Unfortunately, there is seemingly no mandatory minimal feature set - certainly not on hdmi.org - of the HDMI 2.1 spec that must be supported before a port can be claimed to be HDMI 2.1.

    HDMI Forum contributes to the confusion by forbidding the blanket claim of supporting "HDMI 2.1" and allowing only narrow claims of supporting some specific HDMI feature (e.g. 48 Gbps or VRR or 4K120) and then adding something like "as defined in HDMI 2.1 spec".

    Device manufacturers have completed the pig fest with how they claimed HDMI 2.1 support. Some just decided to support less than the full bandwidth (e.g. LG w/ their ~40 Gbps support in 2020 TVs and, very worryingly, some new GPUs will also support much less than the full bandwidth; sorry I read this recently but can't remember where) while other manufacturers just merrily claim HDMI 2.1 support despite HDMI Forum's rules and despite missing major features (e.g. VRR, ALLM, etc.).

    Lastly, it's fully unclear which HDMI features are dependent on hardware and which are dependent just on driver/firmware (thus, they can be added). For example, it's unclear if support for 12-bit color or a certain type of dynamic HDR can be added via driver/firmware update (as long as full bandwidth was supported from the start) or it cannot because it depends on features that must be physically present in the chips that sit behind the HDMI port(s).

    Is there a way to verify that a certain set of expected HDMI 2 features are available without having a pair of devices where the features can be obviously observed?

    For example, if we take an RTX 3080 or a Radeon RX 6000 can we see:

    • Maximum link speed supported for the HDMI port, current link speed and state?
    • Evidence that ALLM signaling / VRR / QFT / etc. is available on our end and on the other end (the display) and whether or not the feature is currently in use?
