This is correct. Sony makes some amazing TVs for movie watching, but for gaming, LG has it with GSYNC, 4k120, BFI 120, and a host of other features not found on competing sets.
There are no consumer 12bit panels to my knowledge.
Lemme know who games with BFI turned on
In a game where you can maintain 120FPS BFI is fucking amazing and everyone should game with it on in that situation.
The BFI setting is called "OLED Motion Pro"
What's the point of adding the bandwidth necessary for 4k120 12-bit when you have a 10-bit panel? It's a complete non-issue; there's nothing lost whatsoever by using lower bandwidth ports. The only *potential* issue would have been if NVIDIA didn't expose 10-bit over HDMI, which they did, making this a complete non-issue.
The only argument I've heard is that they think sending a 12 bit signal will allow the TV to do processing with more data and make the image look better. It's a pretty weak argument. The only time you use 4k@120hz is for games which wouldn't benefit from it. You have all processing turned off for games to minimize input lag, and even if you left the processing on games wouldn't look better. All the fancy processing is to compensate for low framerate, low resolution, and the limitations of cameras. And if you want to send 12 bit for those just set your refresh rate lower and you have plenty of bandwidth to do so.
Yeah this argument has never made any sense and screams placebo. If the TV can display colors 1 and 2, and you send it 1.7, it gets rounded and displays 2, just like if you sent it 2 in the first place.
I own both the CX 48" and the C9 65".
I think you need to maintain ~200-300fps for it to be worth turning off g/vysnc and not have BFI screw things up.
AFAIK the Series X and PS5 are also going to have HDMI 2.1 broken on arrival.
The Denon AV receivers do not have functional HDMI 2.1 yet.
As long as you're at 2m or below I think any cable labeled HDMI 2.1 should be a non-issue
Why on earth would you need 200-300FPS on a 120Hz panel? I don't think you know what G-Sync actually does... What is BFI "screwing up" at 120fps...?
"Has decent shielding" is one of the key factors here. As is the quality of the wires - depending on the length.
I've been trying to buy one in Spain for nearly 3 months and nowhere has stock. I knew demand would be high but I never anticipated how low the supply would be
Just more 40Gbps fearmongering I think.
It doesn't even have functional VRR pass-through yet.
Let's say you paid $50 for a gold plated HDMI monster cable even though you knew there wasn't a chance it would make any difference over the $5. Let's then say you found out that the $50 cable doesn't have gold plating and is actually an exact duplicate of the $5 cable. You are saying because there is not real world functional difference you wouldn't be upset in the slightest?
I hate to answer a question with a question but what's the point of getting a HDMI 2.1 receiver if you are just going to use eARC. We got into this because I said HDMI 2.1 isn't functional yet on Denon, I didn't say I recommend using it. To more directly answer your question there's issues with eARC on CX like DTS support etc.
Everything you just said is wrong in the universe that I exist in (except for that people shouldn't go buy a 2.1 if they have eARC).
The EDID on the CX exposes only Stereo and not 7.1. I'm not sure if modding the EDID will let it successfully passthrough 7.1 via eARC. It won't passthrough DTS via eARC even with an EDID mod.
Interesting, I haven't tested (no eARC receiver) but some people on AVS say otherwise. Are there any reasonably common DTS external sources that can't just decode to LPCM on their own?
Because I (and I assume others) want my audio receiver to stay the hell away from video, lol.
The *potential* issue was that older NVIDIA drivers only supported 8-bit and 12-bit over HDMI, so there was a possibility 40Gbps ports would have been limited to 4k120 8-bit output. A bunch of us raised a stink on the NVIDIA forums, and they eventually added 10-bit over HDMI making things a non-issue.If the panels don’t do 12bit anyway I fail to see why this was ever an issue.
This is not correct. I have 5.1 Dolby Surround to my Denon right now through eArc.
