HDMI 2.0 vs. HDMI 2.1: A Speed and Capability Comparison
HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 are two versions of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface standard, and their primary distinction lies in their speed and capabilities.
1. Bandwidth Capacity
HDMI 2.0: Offers a bandwidth capacity of 18 Gbps.
HDMI 2.1: Boasts an impressive 48 Gbps bandwidth capacity.
