    Microsoft Xbox One X Becomes First Device to Support HDMI 2.1

    "The $499 Xbox One X gaming console will sport new HDMI 2.1 features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in an upcoming firmware update.

    Variable Refresh Rate will match the refresh rate of the connected display with the graphics output of the console, helping prevent screen tearing and instead providing smooth visuals. Auto Low Latency Mode checks the TV for a suitable "Game Mode" or a similar setting (often available on modern HDTVs) and automatically switches to that mode in order to prevent input lag while applying image processing.

    There is one small caveat to new release: If a customer has an Xbox One X, they also need a TV that is HDMI 2.1 compliant."

      This is pretty big deal. Although will devs start to look further than 60fps next gen? I hope so.

        I don't think so. Becuase 120/144/240hz tech at 4k/UHD is ridiculous prices and therefore not mainstream. And even with generational leap in CPUs coming a lot of games will still be dynamic resolution or struggling to hit more than 30fps. Although the tech might transition over at some point I can't help but think 100hz plus displays will be the realm of the PC for a while yet. I could see mobile tech getting this sooner.

          Ha. Good joke Dave.


          On another note, what a total snooze of an announcement of a feature 2 people will use.

          Shall we make some exclusive games that will entice people to actually get involved with the console guys? Na, add another pointless hardware feature.

          Yawn.

              Guardian Heroes
              Hard Corps: Uprising
              Jet Set Radio HD

              Panzer Dragoon Orta
