HDMI 2.2 Expected to Be Announced at CES 2025

The new standard is rumored to deliver higher resolutions, refresh rates, and bandwidth, potentially requiring updated cables for full functionality.

The HDMI Forum has scheduled a press conference for January 6, 2025, ahead of CES, where it is expected to reveal the HDMI 2.2 standard.
The new specification is rumored to offer higher bandwidth, enabling greater resolutions and refresh rates compared to HDMI 2.1, which supports up to 48Gbps and 10K resolution.
A new HDMI cable is expected to support the enhanced capabilities of HDMI 2.2, although backward compatibility with existing cables may still allow partial functionality.
The announcement could align with the debut of next-generation gaming GPUs, though no official confirmation has been made regarding GPU support for the new standard.
Details remain limited, but speculation suggests HDMI 2.2 may reduce reliance on Display Stream Compression for high-performance video output.
