According to an email from the HDMI Forum sent to all news outlets including Engadget this weekend, the new HDMI specification will be announced on Monday, January 6 in Las Vegas before the official launch of the . Details are currently scant – all we’re told is that the new spec “enables higher resolutions and refresh rates and will be supported with a new HDMI cable.”

It’s been seven years since HDMI 2.1 was introduced. It was recently updated to version 2.1b in 2023, to support bandwidth up to 48Gbps and resolutions up to 10K. The new specification and subsequent HDMI technology will deliver higher bandwidth, according to the email. That’s all we know for now, but we’ll have the team at CES keeping you updated on this and all other announcements as they come.
