A new HDMI standard is set to launch at CES 2025 in January. According to a report, the HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc. (HDMI LA) has already notified media outlets about a significant announcement scheduled during the trade fair in Las Vegas. The new standard, rumored to be named HDMI 2.2, is expected to deliver higher bandwidths and resolutions than its predecessor.

The HDMI Forum, which developed this widely adopted standard for video and audio transmissions, has confirmed a press conference for January 6, 2025. This event will probably reveal technical specifications and details about the new standard and its anticipated impact on the consumer electronics landscape.

    If they aren't going to support 8k/240 uncompressed they are going to lose the port war. That is the absolute minimum viable next gen standard.

    Let's hope the port stays the same and only a new cable is needed for the higher resolution-framerate combos.

    Right, because you think a new 5090 is going to be able to do that (or any graphics card in the next 10 years?). Or perhaps you were planning on buying an 8K TV that supports that. Nah, those won't exist for 10 years either. Why the hell would anyone waste money on that?

    HDMI 2.1 ports are quite useless already as you cannot have open source driver. 2.2 would be on the same level in that regard.

    Like VHS lost to Betamax? Hint: better specs don't equal winning.

    Why would you think the port would change? It's a universally used port across multiple industries that hasn't changed since it's original release over 20 years ago.
