HDMI 2.0 VS 1.4 – WHY DO I NEED HDMI 2.0? HDMI 2.0 is the successor to the HDMI 1.4a/b standard most of us use today, which works well, so why change it? The primary reason is that 4K Ultra HD televisions require much more bandwidth to realize their full potential. Since 4K Ultra HD is four times the resolution of 1080p, the current HD standard, it means there’s a need for more throughput to handle extra data going back and forth. Lot’s more. HDMI 1.4 can support 4K resolutions, yes, but only at 24 or 30 frames per second. That works fine for movies, but is of no use for gaming and many TV broadcasts, which require 50 or 60 fps. Also HDMI 1.4 limits 4K Ultra HD content to 8-bit color, but it is capable of 10 or 12-bit color. HDMI 2.0 fixes all of that because it can handle up to 18 gigabits per second. That’s plenty enough to allow for 12-bit color and video up to 60 frames per second.
