HDMI 2.0

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
"The board of the HDMI Forum has announced HDMI 2.0, which is expected to come out in the first half of 2013, with double the existing bandwidth -- enough for 4K at 60hz -- and support for the 21x9 aspect ratio, for example."

I just did the update on my 2 Denons and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if they came out with a 2.0 upgrade board. I don't really need any more audio channels but I do want better support for 4K TVs as I'll be ready to get one next year if they make one big enough at a price I can justify.

Maybe I'm being a little pessimistic, but I can't see a big 4k TV reasonably priced anywhere in the next 3 years.

Not to mention no 4K content.

4k Blurays are coming out soon

and my bet is digital media providers like Netflix and amazon will follow but to bad our Cable companies are still in the stoneage and prefer to nickle and dime is forever.

15-30 mb internet speeds and 1080i sources for our Cable TV and not true 1080P.

Give us high fiber optics already better yet. Get the 2gb versions from Japan biggrin.gif

I am hoping H.265 takes off pretty quickly (just like how H.264 did a few years ago). It is supposed to do better quality video for half the bandwidth or something like that. But, it is going to require more expensive and high power hardware at least in the beginning.

The HDMI 2.0 specification isn't out yet, so it would be a bit premature to see any devices implementing already.

The spec is still under wraps and they are working on it. It won't be until the end of the year or CES 2014 before we see the spec and then it won't be until 2015 or so that products with HDMI 2.0 show up as it takes at least one year before hardware can be finalized and bugs worked out.

And by then the video industry will have come out with a new, fantastic, video format or encoding and a new HDMI spec will be needed (which still will not be able to do what Display Port currently does)...
