What is the highest resolution that HDMI can support?

What is the highest resolution that HDMI can support?

HDMI 1.4: Supports up to 4K (4,096 by 2,160) at 24Hz, 4K (3,840 by 2,160) at 30Hz, or 1080p at 120Hz. HDMI 2.0: Supports up to 4K at 60Hz, and later versions (HDMI 2.0a and 2.0b) include support for HDR.

Can HDMI 2.0 do 1080p 120fps?

no! You don’t need an HDMI 2.1 connection for 120hz gaming, and many PC players have been able to experience 120fps for some time with an HDMI 2.0 connection. An HDMI 2.1 connection essentially allows for 120fps at 4K, or 8K at 60fps, while an HDMI 2.0 connection can allow for 120fps, but at either 1080p or 1440p.

Can you use 4K HDMI for 1080p?

HDMI 1.4 – If you want your HDMI cables to support 4K resolution, you need to make sure that they are High-Speed HDMI cables. They are tested to transmit video resolutions from 1080p to 4K with a richer color palette. With or without HDR, you need High-Speed HDMI cables.

Can HDMI do QHD?

HDMI 1.4 increases the maximum resolution to 4K × 2K , i.e. 3840 × 2160p (Quad HD) 24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz or 4096 × 2160p at 24 Hz (which is a resolution used with digital theaters). Both HDMI and DisplayPort can interoperate with each other and with other ports like VGA or DVI using the respective adaptors.

How many Hz can HDMI do?

HDMI Version 1.0–1.2 1.3–1.4
Maximum Bandwidth (Maximum Data Rate) 4.95 Gbit/s (3.96 Gbit/s) 10.20 Gbit/s (8.16 Gbit/s)
Resolution Maximum Refresh Frequency*
2K 1920 × 1080 (16:9) 1920 × 1200 (16:10) 60 Hz 60 Hz 144 Hz 120 Hz
2.5K 2560 × 1080 (≈21:9) 2560 × 1440 (16:9) 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 50 Hz 30 Hz 30 Hz 100 Hz 85 Hz 75 Hz

Can HDMI 1.4 do 120 fps 1080p?

The easiest high resolution to hit 120Hz at is 1080p. As long as you have at least HDMI 1.4, 120Hz is doable on your compatible TV or monitor. You can even do up to 144Hz if your display supports it. For uncompressed higher resolutions, though, HDMI 120Hz connections need a next-generation HDMI connection.

Does HDMI 2.0 support 4K?

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).

What HDMI cable do I need for 4K 60Hz?

For MOST 4K content, which is broadcast at 30Hz, an HDMI cable tested to the version 1.4 specification (or 10.2Gbps) will work perfectly. Only those consumers who want to future-proof their HDMI-capable broad to 60Hz will ever need to use an HDMI 2.0 cable (capable of 18Gbps at 60Hz).

Can a HDMI do more than 60Hz in 1080p?

Well it can do 1600p @ 60 Hz, so in theory, it could do higher than 60 Hz with 1080p, just maybe not by much. 74 Hz? Perhaps. With audio, HDMI tends to have a maximum of 60Hz that it can carry. So HDMI is only 60Hz across all resolutions except 4K (obviously slower at 30Hz) BRRRT!

Can you use HDMI 1.2 with 144 Hz?

Interestingly, even HDMI 1.2 is compatible with the 144 Hz refresh rate. But there’s a catch. All the HDMI versions released before HDMI 2.0 can run 144 Hz only for up to 1080p resolution. So, if you want to play at 144 Hz on a monitor with a resolution higher than 1080p, you will need at least HDMI 2.0.

Is there HDMI 2.0 support for 1080p120?

For HDMI 2.0, 1080p120 falls well within the 600MHz pixel clock and 18Gbps throughput cap (even accounting for 8b/10b encoding). It is possible for 1080p to be supported at 120Hz on HDMI 2.0; unfortunately, very few solutions on-market are capable of actually utilizing this potential.

What kind of refresh rate can HDMI handle?

Because HDMI 2.0 and later versions can handle even up to 240 Hz refresh rates over HDMI at a resolution of 1080p. And at 1440p resolution, it can handle up to 144 Hz refresh rate.
