HDMI: Let's pull a USB 31
Comment from : AaronShenghao

Like it can identify as HDMI 21, talk about modern times
Comment from : SamsungLG

I am looking for a new laptop with DisplayPort, it is way better than hdmi
Comment from : JD Sheleg

Absolutely disgusting

These consortiums specifying the naming scheme of USB and HDMI are the worst Very much the most consumer unfriendly you can be
Comment from : C1Ansy

Please! Let's get away from terms like "High" and "Super" and "Ultra" After a few years something that was "Ultra" is pathetically slow Just give the numerical spec
Comment from : Tom O

I got a LG oled tv last year 4x HDMI 21 ports it's great cause I got ps5 series x and gaming PC
Comment from : Altaaf Sheik

It's simply so they can sell cheap crap and label it with the "latest" spec
Comment from : Freecycling

i use display port so i am fine

Is this some joke
Comment from : nosuchthing8

Thank for this We really need it
Comment from : Gaheto

Very similar to ps5, they claim 4k and 8k, but it doesn't actually do either
Comment from : Dirty tamato

Good to know thank you
Comment from : AJ121401 JJ

CEC is more useful this way: I had a TV, a DVD player and a Home Theater all separated, that means 3 remotes, with CEC, I could use the Home Theater remote to control my dvd player and TV, because that was the most complete remote in the house, times changed and I haven't used CEC in some time, so maybe with smart TVs you can control other devices via smart menu or something (does anyone know?)
Comment from : lordvadher4

I legit just saw a laptop that said HDMI 21 (4k60hz) and got so confused
Comment from : Carson

It is confusing but not as bad as usb I swear they hired the zodiac killer when they was coming up with the names for usb
Comment from : Liam Collinson

Wow
Comment from : B

So the HDMI folks saw what the USB were doing, and said “hold my beer”
Comment from : Da Boaring Dragon

It's complete nonsense
Comment from : Christian Orthodoxy

Cool, we have Dynamic High Dynamic Range nowbrThat's very dynamic
Comment from : Gaming+Programming OOOOIH

Why does HDMI association suck so hard? Why not learn from wi-fi association? Wi-Fi 5,6,7 and bigger number is newer better Just compare the number and you have a good idea of the product However, they follow USB's naming mess What a shame!
Comment from : 看海人

Uhhhwhat? brWho is this imposter?! Where is the foil and battery for internet speed? Where are my fake videos?brbrI'm pleasantly surprised to see thio talk about actual tech tips

Comment from : Gemma

This so damn scummy, it should be class-action lawsuit
Comment from : Wojciech Kogut

Really interesting stuff! So I guess DisplayPort is the last bastion of consistent naming lol
Comment from : SUPER7X

Thats doesnt make ANY sense, its literally the exact opposite reason to do it; only the newest, true 21 cables/devices would meet the spec, so literally anything older IS EXPLICITLY not 21 This is marketing people taking over, not engineers, only the former would be so dumb and deceptive to pull such bs

At the moment, eARC is the peak of awesomeness for me I love to use my HomePods as Speakers for the PlayStation :D

From now on please only use displayport

sounds very stupid yes 🤣
Comment from : ConfusioN

Does anyone know of a budget tv that actually has HDMI 21?
Comment from : Uriel Marron

This is a direct & deliberate attack against people who consume without proper/excessive research Wow The global criminals are reaching new lows
Comment from : Corn POP

bThank you for making this one of my most popular videos gets this concern so much in the comments, I can just refer them here/b
Comment from : SocialSophia

Awesome information and a great video Thank you for clearing up the confusion👍
Comment from : King David

I can't wait to buy things with unclear features and return them That sounds like fun and totally not a waste of gas and trip to WalmartbrbrWhy do we put idiots in charge of naming things? I bet they asked the guys over at USBIF to pass some of the stuff and this is the resultbrbrIt's like when Microsoft tried to label every minecraft on every platform "Minecraft" and just ignore that different things are different
Comment from : Rusty Shackleford

Why have an authority if they can't, won't, or don't enforce a standard that means something?
Comment from : AK Mass

There is no reason for any cable to have "features" Specifications are not featuresbrAnd let's be honest, practically no one needs any of these super duper high bandwidth high-k products People physically can't see the difference in the displays at these resolutions unless it's a movie theater-sized screen
Comment from : TheEvermind

Hmmm big companies treating standards like advertising space
Comment from : bruh

I am pretty sure its done to confuse normies the Gamers and Videophiles among us will have done hours of extensive reaserch on the makes and models of TVs and Monitors they are looking at and what specific features it needs to have with a slight disreguard to the HDMI and Display Port version

Comment from : CJ lite

Sound like the USB3 (Gen 2_2) jokebrUSB3 waht speed you are runnig? 5Gb, 10Gb or 20Gb+ every one but non im Gen 1_2
Comment from : Dragonheng

For those that don’t know what display to get stick with the heavy hitters ie LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and you wont have a problem w/ HDMI 21 But even with those 4 brbrFWIW- not all displays have the full 48 Gbps bandwidth w/ 21 HDMI port tho For ex) I have a LG C1 65” and it’s only capable of 40 Gbps in the 21 HDMI ports while the older C9 has full 48 Gbps Also, if you’re using your display to game on the chipsets in the next gen consoles (series X/S, PS5) only allow up to 40 Gbps HDMI bandwidth which still supports 10 Bit color
Comment from : eric carlton

Like the good old days where you made troll tutorial videos about free updating your ps3 into ps4, this time you can make one of those free update from hdmi 20 to 21 video and it won't even be troll video anymore
Comment from : Riasat Salmin Sami

FFS this is the USB 3 stuff all over again
Comment from : rufioh

Great So now HDMI stands for Horribly Defined Monitor Interface

Comment from : Sramm

Engineers are very good at precisely that - engineering brbrLet marketing people market, by providing them with relevant expertise and stay in your lane!!!
Comment from : MSH

Have they done something like this before? I wonder what this supposed reasoning can be called? It is certainly something to look out for
Comment from : HappyQuails

Hopefully DisplayPort doesn’t do the same

Good old DVI-I I never left thee!
Comment from : Woodys Augmented Reality

I think it's time that we start ignoring HDMI and use Display PortbrBoycott HDMI tell they understand they have screwed up!!
Comment from : Monte Corbit

First the USB naming and now the HDMI?brSomeone needs to build a simplified naming translator for consumers!
Comment from : M3TALH3AD

I think I will just stick to reading books
Comment from : kmg501

About controlling devices through hdmi You know how on a laptop monitor you can change the brightness in windows, but on a desktop monitor you change it in the OSD? Yeah you are supposed to be able to do this on a desktop monitor or a tv too Potentially the monitor OEM could just make a desktop app that had all the functions from the OSD or even changes display profiles based on time or what you are doing
Comment from : Levente

I have a 12-cylinder, Ford TempobrIt only has four physical cylinders, but it got upgraded to eight cylinders and now twelve cylinders on paper Oh, and the RANGE has now been extended
Comment from : Jeffrey Photonboy

There's similar shit with USB 3x naming -- total mess )
Comment from : Inscriptor

another reason for DP 14 Haven't used hdmi for years
Comment from : Steven Steele

Are they trying to get crucified by most if not all global governments and governmental agencies for deceptive practices on a global scale Will we see the formation of a new governmental agencies globally to directly regulate connectivity that would included all connectivity ports and cables Considering that this global company is violating laws of numerous countries and/or international laws and/or treaties that prohibit deceptive marketing will we see Interpol forced to add a bureau dedicated to investigating global connectivity related businesses and organizations for global deceptive business practices?
Comment from : borgranta61103

Can't wait for Linus to make another rant on stupid naming schemes
Comment from : notlookme

They saw a old video of yours and said "lets do that"
Comment from : Pcnazillp G

I think the animations and graphs for HDR are incorrect, shouldn't there be fewer bright/white colors when HDR is indicating a dark scene? It looks like the graph uses the same colors, just resized Also could the red channel ever indicate white, wouldn't it be a florescent/bright red at the top?
Comment from : Mike Mestnik

Why not use optic fiber with a couple copper wires for power and stop with all the dealing with bandwidth and shit
Comment from : chancho00

Not even a min into this video and I'm already mad
Comment from : William Helbing

Who still has hdmi 13?
Comment from : lavacat

100 agree I'm OK with "HDMI 21 Good" or something to say it is the full HDMI 21 - all bandwidth, all features and "HDMI 21 CRAP" edition if it is only a fraction of the bandwidth or missing features They'll get away with it by making cabled HDMI 21 "compatible"
Comment from : boe dilllard

Maybe those HDMI 21 cables could end up in the $1 bin
Comment from : ThisGuyFrritz

watching on a vga monitor🥲
Comment from : Manu Sharma

Just like the USB naming scandal all over again
Comment from : Thedohdoh

ah neat it's usb 3 all over again :3
Comment from : SimplyAlonso

Soooo The same idiots who decided to name USB also decided to name HDMI? That's the only thing that makes sense
Comment from : LMacNeill

Geeez… I’m dumb enough to not understand a word in this video, yet can count higher than 21 it’s 211
Comment from : Ishan Gupta

I have a device that seems to only work with cables that have the shield pins connected (2, 5, 8, 11) Some cables have them connected and some don't How do I tell the difference? Is there any definitive label I should be looking for, because it seems like a lottery up until now?
