We may see the next HDMI standard, HDMI 2.2, in just a few weeks. According to an email from the HDMI Forum sent to press, including Engadget, this weekend, a new HDMI specification will be announced on Monday, January 6 in Las Vegas before the official start of . Details at the moment are pretty slim – all we're told is that the new spec “enables a wide range of resolutions and higher refresh rates and will be supported by a new HDMI cable.”
It's been seven years since the introduction of HDMI 2.1. It was last updated to version 2.1b in 2023, to support bandwidths up to 48 Gbps and resolutions up to 10K. The new specification with next-generation HDMI technology will provide greater bandwidth, according to the email. That's all we know right now, but we'll have a team at CES that will keep you updated on this and all other announcements as they come.
