Computers with HDMI 2.1

HDMI 2.1

— the presence of a modern HDMI output with increased bandwidth and support for the latest gaming and multimedia modes. This is important when connecting a computer to a 4K TV or monitor: it's easier to achieve high refresh rates, accurate HDR transmission, and a smoother picture with compatible technologies like VRR if both the display and cable support everything. Unlike HDMI 2.0, this port is better suited for 4K gaming and using the TV as a large monitor, and compared to DisplayPort, it's more convenient specifically for TVs and home theater systems, where HDMI is the standard input. Examples of use cases include a PC in the living room for gaming on a 4K TV with a high frame rate, viewing HDR content, and connecting modern console-like monitors without the limitations of older versions.
