A lot of you are saying that Sony Official Statement says that IT IS HDMI 2.1, also some referring to Digital Foundry has said that it is HDMI 2.1 because it can do 4K 120Hz. right? I will give you an idea before you become KeyBoard Warrior and tell me to stop making videos, just do a google search you will find out that HDMI 2.0 can do 4K upto 120fps, even if you have a PS4 cable try that and you will see that will be able to do 4K 120hz on PlayStation 5, enough proof? no right? because Digital Foundry has said it is HDMI 2.1? OK let's just google the serial number and manufacturer of the the cable on Google and you will find out that this cable has been sold with some PS4 Model with the same serial number :) still not enough right? here you go , this is the serial number do some research yourself I can't argue enough will people without any research and all they have to say it that Sony Can name it whatever they want, even one viewer said they can name HDMI cable "Banana" if they wish to. HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE is HDMI 2.0, ULTRA HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE is HDMI 2.1 with full 48GBPS bandwidth. Cable comes with Xbox Series X has label on it that specifically says "ULTRA HIGH SPEED HDMI" that is real HDMI 2.1 with 48gbps. I have nothing against sony, I am actually using Sony Personally this year for my console, but what's wrong is wrong. Now try your PS4 cable with your PS5 and see that cable will also work, now tell yourself that PS4 cable was also HDMI 2.1 ? no. It can do 4K upto 120fps doesnt mean it is HDMI 2.1 period.

Was hoping you would plug the xbox cable in but I think you are right. I didnt call you any names but I didnt believe you at first. Lol thats pretty shady of sony. Skimping on the cord? SMH
That’s crazy man that doesn’t make sense to me cause from every person I’ve heard that 2.1 is required and I haven’t heard of 2.0 b cable but thanks man glad u showed this video good to know
No worries. some people pushed me to make it. Because if it is wrong it is wrong and sony said that cable is HDMI 2.1 , and also digital foundry said as well that is ridiculous. I hope these big boys on youtube and internet do some testing before just spread misleading information. Sometimes a small youtube a random one could be right. peace! I hope it helped.
@@MyGadgetsWorld yea I hear u yeah I just reached out to digital foundry to confirm it we will see what happens but that’s sad ... I’ll look at my cable tomorrow once I get mine
Hdmi cables are all essentially the same. The difference is mainly build quality. The chipset on the hardware is what matters. So the monitor/tv and console need the the hdmi 2.1 chipset. Cables vary on build quality. A good hdmi 2.0 cable will most likely run well
i can confirm that an HDMI of the Nintendo switch actually WORKS at 4K120hz with my ps5, but my LG CX says YCBcr 422 yuv 8bit 4L8 If I get an 2.1 Cable will I be able to get 4K120 RGB? Bc many ppl are using 2.1 cables and Still stuck at 4k120 8bit yuv 422 At 60hz its 12bit RGB
@@RCGJR_There you go. Enjoy it. People get caught up with all the Hz limbo. Only worry if your device can't handshake the signal. If you can you are fine. Play the damn game.
As a person who currently owns 2.0 onlu lengthy cords (the ps4 cord is so small) i will note that when plugged into 2.0 tv or cable the ps4 will notate that the color display is limited due to limitations of 2.0 hdmi
I’m about to blow your mind, you don’t need a 4K tv to play the PS5 first of all. If you already have a 4k tv that’s fine but you don’t need a 4K tv in the same way you don’t need a 2.1 HDMI cable to enjoy the ps5. The PS5 unlike the Xbox does not focus its platform on refresh frame rate instead its strong suit is in VRR/HDR which you can get in both 4K TVs and non 4K TVs. Do your research, the games for both ps5 and Xbox are already in 4K and if you’re knowledgeable about CB/CR and how they interact with scaling you would realize that the 4K content will still look great even on just on a 1080p tv. Does the overall game looks a little better on a 4K tv sure but remember 98% of game content for the ps5 will not be 120 hz so you won’t need it you’ll notice that 4K @60 hz will be the vast majority of the games so please stop freaking out about reaching 120hz the majority of the games won’t get to that level any time soon anyway. If you’re a long time PlayStation user you’ll know Sony prioritize HDR and VRR and not frame rates, the smooth, fast and overall look of PlayStation games content utilizes the HDR/VRR just to repeat myself once again, if you want more details on that please look it up. Happy gaming.
So the assessment here is a bit faulty and here’s why. An HDMI 2.0 cable (18gb) will let you do 4K @ 60hz RGB 8 bit. It will not pass through 4K @ 120hz even at 422 as that will exceed bandwidth. The “information for connected Hdmi device” area is getting metadata from the TV and what it’s capabilities are - not what you can use through the cable. Your refresh rate is set there at 60hz - so that is no problem for hdmi 2.0. I would doubt you can enable 4K 120hz through that PS4 cable...
MyGadgetsWorld You’d have to see how many Gb/s that combination takes up and if it fall within the 18Gb spec - which I believe it does. You have to force 420 subsampling @ 8 bit and not have HDR. 420 is taking out a lot of color information so unless you just want the 120hz without the best picture quality then this is an option. The point is that at the vastly more common 60fps there is no difference apart from the extra features that 2.1 provides (VRR, ALM, etc). Also, even if a target game is set for 60fps, it is beneficial (in theory) to set the device up for a 120hz refresh (with a compatible display of course) since this will further reduce input lag even on a 60fps limit. The only way to know if the PS 5 cable is NOT 2.1 compliant is doing a 4K 120hz 422 or better signal. If it can display that - it’s a 2.1 cable.
Thank you for sharing this video, i will post right now on PS5 FB group because I mentioned that several times and no one was convinced of my words that PS5 cable just 2.0 and not 2.01.. While the xbox x indeed 2.01
Day 1 ps5 owner here and recently upgrade 4k 120hz monitor with hdmi 2.1. Still using same free ps5 hdmi cable given. Able to access 4k 120hz and vrr with that cable no issue. idk, maybe im not from the US.
So Sony used the same HDMI cable they used In their PS4 Pro, right? What if I use it with the PS4 Slim's cable, would it change anything or make the resolution worse? And also did you feel that there was a more delay time while using the PS4's cable or grainy resolution? These are all the questions I would like to be answered :)
All the cables from the PS4 lineup are the same they are all high speed cables from the OG console to the slim to the pro. Being high speed means it can support all resolutions up to 4K 120fps hope that answers your question
Bro becouse you need to set the pre set setting on the ps5 to performance and the games that you play need to support 120 Hz try CoD back ops cold war and you will see that the resolution will change in the output setting and plus the home screen for the UI it will run on that resolution no need to run on 120Hz This is way your seeing this problem and why your so confused 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the video I've been known that 2.1 Hdmi are virtually useless at this point because no content is being put out yet that supports it. Even sony has said it themselves that they will upgrade in the future I say that can be a couple of years if you have a 4k tv u shouldn't worry about buying one for the 2.1 now its pointless.
The cable is 2.1 the PS5 chipset is 2.1 @32gbs but Sony hasn’t updated it yet?? That’s why you not getting 8K support. Also XBOXSX has HDMI 2.1 capped at 40GBs 10bit color. PS5 right now does 32GBs 12bit and maybe not capped, but we are just waiting to hear more info since PS5 HDMI info was just discovered.
Man but now everyone is talking about because Vince Teoh made video on this. I explained that already in my video when I tested cables with marantz cable testing earlier.
@@MyGadgetsWorld You said the ps5 cable is 2.0b why are you lying lol and Vince just proved it’s a 2.1 cable because you wouldn’t get above 18 gbps(2.0) unless it’s 2.1 cable also he just confirmed the hdmi chipset is 2.1 and is capable of 40gbps at least so Sony will patch everything.
@@Vegitobluuuuu Exactly, but maybe he not lying just wrong and can realize it is 2.1 cable otherwise it couldn’t go over 18GBs to 32GBs and maybe go to 40GBs or full 48gbs if Sony updates hdmi chipset. Who knows.
The cable that came with the PS5 is HDMI 2.0 which is capable of 4k 120hz. Sony lied if they said it was 2.1. HDMI 2.1 cables will be labeled as "Ultra High Speed". Which clearly isn't the case with the cable that was included with the PS5.
I have a PS4 Pro and the 4K and HDR worked well, with the PS5 I don't have both, on a Samsung TV, I already did the methods of changing the HDMI and it doesn't work for me. Some tip.
Ok this is the answer to your question... the ps5 user interface well always be running at 4k 60 hz until sony wants to provide support and add 4k 120hz support for there UI. The ps5 can run at 4k 120hz if that game.supports its. Unfortunately most high end games wont be able to run 4k at 120hz. The ps5 cable is in fact a hdmi 2.1 cable. If you wanna 1080p at 120hz go into the boost performace settings and select boost performance.
It is HDMI 2.1 as I'm at 4k 120hz with VRR on atm. The PS5 UI is only 4k at 60hz but that is a 2.1 HDMI cable that came with it as I'm playing GoW Ragnarok now at 4k 120hz
@@dallinnevitt_444 i have been testing and honestly there is a sad moment for me as I wanted to keep PS5. My review for xbox series x vs PS5 is coming up and it is disappointing for me. :( i gave you the hint already.
Yeah ... I don’t want to be rude but most of the time they include over specified cables just to be sure it’s good enough The cable that came with the PS3 can actually do 4K30 ... and since Sony is best known as a home entertainment company they will always include A cable that is capable of doing more than required Also note ... But the stand under your PS5 ... because the way you are doing now will break your console it’s not stable and will fall easily not to forget the damage your plates will endure ... it will also reduce noise since the rubber in the stand will isolate the console from where it is standing
That test he did on the receiver? Which he said chip is not good? Wow testing a cable on something which is malfunction. Common sense! Amazing. Trust any youtuber man. Your choice. My job is to bring you guys with the facts now you can believe or not it is upto you
@@MyGadgetsWorld he used a certified HDMI 2.1 cable on the actual PS5, giving him the same results as you on your own video.

Hi . I have ps5 and 4k 60hz tv support 2.1 port but i have a 2.0 hdmi the problem is when I turned hdr on colors looks so poor and its turn to yuv422 or 420 from rgb and telling me that’s.( when u use hdr 2160 its turn to yuv from rgb bcs hdmi 2.0 limited but when i turn hdr off its back to rgb and the picture looks perfect so i need to buy a 2.1 cable to get good hdr .?
i got a question so i plugged in my cable that came along with the ps5, but i dont get any 4k screen at all. do u think that buying a hdmi 2.1 cable will work then? also does hdmi cable 2.1 work for monitors?
@MyGadgetsWorld Hello! I'm from Belarus. I do not have playstation 5, but I am sure that the set includes an outdated cable (HDMI 2.0). Try experimenting with the xbox series x cable (or other real hdmi 2.1 cable). Perhaps your playstation will support 8k resolution. Also try inserting the Playstation cable into the Xbox. Perhaps some modes that require high bandwidth will disappear. GL!
I tried it and its true. I been using hdmi cable 2.0 sandstorm gold 27gbps, and today I bought 2.1 hdmi cable oehlbach black magic mk2 48gbps and PS5 shows same resolution on both hdmi 3840x2160 - VRR (48-120 hz)
Hey. Thanks for the info. You should do a video testing the ps5 cable on the Xbox series x and see what results you get. I think that would be interesting.
I hope Sony they fix this before I buy a PS5. It's ridiculous to include an inferior cable and expect us to run out and buy a 2.1 or simply put up with the 2.0
I have try 2.1 original hdmi cable but I'm not happy coz screen is darker don't have this shiny guns anymore so I don't know ps5 cable screen looks brighter. I don't know what problem is
Well pointed out, I will be sure to check the supplied cable now once it arrives... I'm not surprised. I brought a extra dual sense controller and it came with a scratch ... thats poor quality control... I have the accessories at the moment but no console ....eek
If you look at the cable that Sony supplied with the PS4 it’s says high speed on it so it has to be a 2.1 cable or else Sony would have to upgrade the cable for the PS5 so this test proves it the cable can handle 2.1
Nice video man thanks for the input but can you try changing the console setting from resolution mode to performance mode then go to video output information and see if the resolution changed to (3840x2160-120hz) instead of 60hz or not of course using both ps5 and ps4 cables ? and if the results are the same so what is the difference between 2.1 and 2.0b cables if both of them can do 4k 120hz ?
lol, i bought my PS5 brand new 08/21/23. never had a TV that could do 120Hz so i never noticed anything. two days ago, i bought a Sony Bravia X85K and after i setup my PS5 to it and was super stoked to see the difference.... yeah, there was none. Sony DOES 100% send HDMI 2.0 cables. Luckily, I contacted PS and they sent me a 'PlayStation 5 Ultra High Speed HDMI' free of charge, should be delivered tomorrow. But goddamn... why would you send HDMI 2.0 cables with your flagship next-gen console? That's insane. Maybe others got lucky, but like you, I was not one od the lucky ones. 🙃 I'll always love Sony over Xbox, but it just baffles me how of all companies, Sony could do this. Silly people. Lol okay, back to watching your vids real quick. Subbed too btw. 💪🏼
Figured it out. It states RGB under HDR. This is 4:4:4. But it states that it only supports 4:2:2 for 4K 120 10 bit HDR. The cable is def 2.1. The issue is the PlayStation. I believe it likely caps the colour space at 120 for a more stable connection, as seen in their XH90 TV’s
yes that is why they provided a High Speed HDMI Cable which is not 48gbps, 4:2:2 8 bit HDR, it doesn't even push to do 4:2:2:10 bit HDR. yes there is a thing 4:2:2 8 bit HDR which is inferior HDR, and does not require a very high bandwidth cable. well I am in the process of collecting more facts about it, so far I was able to play 4K 120hz using PS4 Pro cable (Identical to the model number on new PS5 cable) and was able to get same results.
@@MyGadgetsWorld it’s definitely a 2.1 rated cable as I’ve tested this on my 3080 and it’s displays PC RGB at 10 bit. You need to run a game with the PS4 pro cable and when it is running go back into settings. I believe the cable is simply displaying what the TV is capable of and will black screen if 4K 120 is forced. That or it is downsampling when you start a game to 8 bit. Again, this is why you need to go back into display settings when a game is running. Ps the LG CX video settings video is great. But the CX runs ‘standard’ RGB by default. To unlock PC RGB you need to put the console in PC mode. This unlocks RGB to a deeper range of colour
Thank you. I actually did comparison with Xbox Series X and that outputs 4K 120hz properly. Too tired as stayed all night long to sort it out. Expecting to upload in afternoon, that resolves some confusion. I also tested the cable with RTX 3080 FE but once the hdmi 2.1 on both source and display then it actually shows 10bit RGB even with PS4 Pro hdmi cable which is 18bgps. Cable connection is established even at low bandwidth but it cannot perform as intended , that's my point
@@MyGadgetsWorld can the ps5 do 4k120 at 12 bit RGB? With hdmi 2.0? And 2.1? Mine says yuv 422 at 120hz with hdmi 2,0. , But what it would happen with 2.1? Ps5 cant do 10 bit i don't understand
HDMI 2.0b cannot do 4k 120. You don't know what you're talking about. The TV might tell the ps5 it can do it but when you actually go to play a games it will drop signal and have issues due to the bandwidth limitations.
Careful with unplugging hdmi cables with both machines are still active.. this can destroy your whole hdmi port's fuse. And most of them are in series connection.
I took the PS4 HDMI cable to use with my 4K UHD Blu-ray player and LG CX. I could only get 4K60 YUV444, 4K60 YUV422 or 4K60 RGB, but only in 8bit depth color, not 10bit. Do you have sure your TV is receiving 10bit?
I plugged in a 48gbps cable that I use for connecting PC to OLED. I tried it and it says all the same things on the ps5. I also used the ps5 hdmi cable on my 3080 and it worked fine. I was playing Control at 4K DLSS with HDR and at 120 fps with the ps5 hdmi cable. I believe the xsx cable is 40gbps and the ps5 cable is 32gbps. I have an LG C1 and the hdmi ports are capped at 40gbps.
I’m using the HDMI cable that Sony supplied with the PS4 since I have a bunch of them on my 4K blu ray player and works perfectly fine with blu rays in 4K at 60fps I’ve also tested that cable on my pc sending my tv 4K 120fps works fine and tv and pc recognize HDCP 2.1 so I’d say cable is fine to use on multiple applications
Would of been nice to see the Xbox SX hdmi in the PS5 as you claim that it’s different but don’t show it did anything?? 🙂👍🏼 even use the PS5 hdmi on Xbox SX 🤷🏼♂️
So to prove its the cable and not the actual output of thw playstation why not use the xbox cable in the playstation. I presume itl still be the same resolution using the 2.1 cable. Im not saying sony does have 2.1 cable just that the driver the playstation may not put out the high specs that require a hdmi 2.1 yet.
Ppl are still thinking that they were playing ps4 at 4k 60 fps but their games with the ps4 displayed 4k 30 fps max. I haven't gotten the ps5 but they have yet to prove their new games can even do 4k at 60 fps
I see you reply to every comment,and i can just say respect.I can't listen to it, so please tell me what kind of things you get with hdmi 2.0, do I have a 4k hdmi 2.0 TV, thanks.
You're on the menu... Mine shows the same thing with both the included ps5 cable and the ultra HDMI 2.1 cable I bought separately. Load up a game like Ratchet and Clank, ENABLE 120hz in the menu, then check... The Included ps5 cable does 120Hz just fine...
Same here. Switched all the cables with all the consoles even with an old hdmi I had here and everything works just fine. All the ticks on xbx all the modes on ps5 and freesync on lg cx outputting at 4k 120hz rgb 10 vrr. I guess the cables are certified 2.1 or not, it doesn't mean it can't do it. Money grab from cable companies if you ask me.
Wow u really convinced me now , I saw your first video I was wondering but now I think it dose not matter which cable since we do not have TV or screen support new Hdmi cable even 8 k Tv no one have , all we have is 4k HDR with 60 FPS
There is only 1 way to prove that the cable is hdmi 2.1. Since we already established HDMI 2.0b already does 4K 120. The only absolute test is to use the ps5 cable on your rtx 3080 and play 8k content.
You are a fool if you listen to this twat I asked stop the fomo on Twitter to test HDMI cable that came with ps5 and here’s what he replied to me “OK, just double checked on the CX using the VRR/4K120 confirmation display (press green button 3x quickly on the remote) and the PS5 HDMI cable fully passes 4K120 HDR with no problems so we can safely say it's "ultra high speed" capable. HDMI 2.0b can only output 4K120/8Bit with no HDR. So tell this guy to shut the fuck up..know the facts before making a video publicly you look like an idiot now.
4K at 120 on a 2.0 cable is 8 bit 4:2:0 with no HDR. I think the cable is 2.1, I just don’t think the PS5 will support 4:4:4 10 bit chroma in HDR until they unlock VRR. Best way is to plug the Xbox Series X cable into the PS5. My guess is that it will still not work, thus confirming my theory
Sony admits that the cable they sent is wrong that is why i dont wanna buy first edition, i saw in bestbuy audioquest 48 selling 2.1 hdmi certified if you wanna spend more money. thanks for the video 😎
@@Woupsme Yup just yesterday i also bought AQ Cinnamon 48 hdmi (2.1) my tv is last year LG SM9000,looks amazing i never have a problem in the screen everything smooth at 4k 60, unfortunately i can only play COD 1080p 120hz😁
Good to know. I am using the cable that came with my PS5, and it says “High Speed”. I didn’t see 120Hz when I looked at the Video Output Info. I thought I would have to get an HDMI 2.1 compliant TV. I have the Samsung MU6300
I have YUV422( HDR ) instead of RGB like what you have. How is this possible? It also says " When displaying 4k HDR content at 60hz, the color format will be YUV422 or Yuv420 instead of RGB due to HDMI 2.0 transfer speed limitations." But i have the original 2.1cable that came with PS5. I dont understand it at all
MyGadgetsWorld men i dont understand this at all. I turned on my hdmi uhd color like i did with my PS4 Pro. On my pro i have 2160p RGB with HDR and here i dont have it. How come you have it? Or does it only work now with hdmi 2.1 input?
MyGadgetsWorld Sorry i saw your first massage but bc of frustration i was to blind to read "locked" So PS5 has capped bandwith of 32gbps instead of 40gbs for ful 4.4.4 chroma. Edit: Sony will release later on a software update for PS5 so it can recieve 8k resolution and VRR so probably they can do something also with the capped bandwith speed dont you think?
So why are some 2.1 cables labeled as high speed and not ultra in stores? 300 dollar cables that are 2.1 labeled as high speed, what do you say about that?
Hey just clarify me, i am using ps5 original cable and in Ps5's video output signal thing it says can't can't display rbg(hdr) colors due to limitations of hdmi 2.0. is it the cable or tv's issue?
Have you tested using the HDMI cable that came with the PS5 on the Xbox Series X then checked whether you can set it to 4K/120? Coz that’ll be the ultimate test.
I have a tv that’s 4K 120hz, but does not have hdmi 2.1. If I buy a cable to get hdmi 2.1 will my games run 120 FPS in 4K on the ps5 and Xbox series X?
Play a game like devil may cry se. that game support up to 120 fps. Right now it just defaults to 60hz if you are not playing or if the game doesn’t support it.
So it don’t matter what gaming monitor u play the ps5 on will it still be 4K ? And like 1440 p or 2160 p ? On a gaming monitor I have a 27 inch Samsung gaming monitor that is 1920x1080 HD led 60 Hz 4ms is that good for ps5 and the 4k graphics? Someone lmk
Now the real question is will the PS5 run at 1080p 120hz on a monitor that has HDMI 1.4 ports? (and fyi 1.4 does support 1080p 120hz, as long as your TV/monitor also have that function)
Okay how about actually setting it to 4K 120hz instead of 60hz? Resolution should output at 3840x2160- 120hz instead of 3840x2160- 60hz if that wire is capable of 120. I could be wrong but I have seen people's show that in videos
I've been using a random hdmi cable with my ps4. Can I keep using that on my ps5? It would be really nice if I didn't have to lift the TV off the wall to reach the hdmi ports
It remained same. Since both cables are same. Both cables are high speed hdmi cables , funny thing is ps5 cable has same serial number as some ps4 pro cables.
My tv has 2.0 hdmi port so if I put the 2.1 cable from the ps5 box and connect it to my tv will everything work or should I get a 2.0 cable that I connect from the console to the tv?

I totally agree with you there because if Sony are saying that it’s a high speed 48Gbps 2.1 hdmi cable when it’s not it’s only a a hdmi 2.0b cable that comes with the PlayStation 5 it’s definitely false representation and definitely FALSE ADVERTISING people could sue Sony for that cause your not getting the hdmi Cable in the box what they are saying it is but I use a high speed Akord v2.1 hdmi 120hrz cable on my PlayStation 5 and they are absolutely perfect for gaming

The Sony Firmware is only handling YUV422. A Firmware update will move to YUV444. The cable isn’t the issue.
That’s crazy man that doesn’t make sense to me cause from every person I’ve heard that 2.1 is required and I haven’t heard of 2.0 b cable but thanks man glad u showed this video good to know
No worries. some people pushed me to make it. Because if it is wrong it is wrong and sony said that cable is HDMI 2.1 , and also digital foundry said as well that is ridiculous. I hope these big boys on youtube and internet do some testing before just spread misleading information. Sometimes a small youtube a random one could be right. peace! I hope it helped.
@@MyGadgetsWorld yea I hear u yeah I just reached out to digital foundry to confirm it we will see what happens but that’s sad ... I’ll look at my cable tomorrow once I get mine
@@mikezambrano3904 Sure man . let me know tomorrow.
Cables don’t really matter. It varies by build quality. The chipset on the hardware is what matters
@@ITrendzI that's not true lol
Hdmi cables are all essentially the same. The difference is mainly build quality. The chipset on the hardware is what matters. So the monitor/tv and console need the the hdmi 2.1 chipset. Cables vary on build quality. A good hdmi 2.0 cable will most likely run well
Yes. You are right . But for optimal performance of hdmi 2.1 chip we need 40 to 48gbps bandwidth with ultra high speed hdmi cable
i can confirm that an HDMI of the Nintendo switch actually WORKS at 4K120hz with my ps5, but my LG CX says YCBcr 422 yuv 8bit 4L8
If I get an 2.1 Cable will I be able to get 4K120 RGB? Bc many ppl are using 2.1 cables and Still stuck at 4k120 8bit yuv 422
At 60hz its 12bit RGB

Specs on TV say it only has HDMI 2.0 connection so not the cable it's your TV.
You're wrong. Samsung Q800t has hdmi 2.1 on hdmi 4 . Search before writing :)
As a person who currently owns 2.0 onlu lengthy cords (the ps4 cord is so small) i will note that when plugged into 2.0 tv or cable the ps4 will notate that the color display is limited due to limitations of 2.0 hdmi
I’m about to blow your mind, you don’t need a 4K tv to play the PS5 first of all. If you already have a 4k tv that’s fine but you don’t need a 4K tv in the same way you don’t need a 2.1 HDMI cable to enjoy the ps5. The PS5 unlike the Xbox does not focus its platform on refresh frame rate instead its strong suit is in VRR/HDR which you can get in both 4K TVs and non 4K TVs. Do your research, the games for both ps5 and Xbox are already in 4K and if you’re knowledgeable about CB/CR and how they interact with scaling you would realize that the 4K content will still look great even on just on a 1080p tv. Does the overall game looks a little better on a 4K tv sure but remember 98% of game content for the ps5 will not be 120 hz so you won’t need it you’ll notice that 4K @60 hz will be the vast majority of the games so please stop freaking out about reaching 120hz the majority of the games won’t get to that level any time soon anyway. If you’re a long time PlayStation user you’ll know Sony prioritize HDR and VRR and not frame rates, the smooth, fast and overall look of PlayStation games content utilizes the HDR/VRR just to repeat myself once again, if you want more details on that please look it up. Happy gaming.
He doesn't realize the PS5 UI is only 4k 60hz 😅 but games can do 120hz with the cable but that PS4 cable nope.
So the assessment here is a bit faulty and here’s why. An HDMI 2.0 cable (18gb) will let you do 4K @ 60hz RGB 8 bit. It will not pass through 4K @ 120hz even at 422 as that will exceed bandwidth. The “information for connected Hdmi device” area is getting metadata from the TV and what it’s capabilities are - not what you can use through the cable. Your refresh rate is set there at 60hz - so that is no problem for hdmi 2.0. I would doubt you can enable 4K 120hz through that PS4 cable...
How about 4K 4:2:0 YUV 120hz 8Bit. It can be done via 2.0b
MyGadgetsWorld You’d have to see how many Gb/s that combination takes up and if it fall within the 18Gb spec - which I believe it does. You have to force 420 subsampling @ 8 bit and not have HDR. 420 is taking out a lot of color information so unless you just want the 120hz without the best picture quality then this is an option. The point is that at the vastly more common 60fps there is no difference apart from the extra features that 2.1 provides (VRR, ALM, etc). Also, even if a target game is set for 60fps, it is beneficial (in theory) to set the device up for a 120hz refresh (with a compatible display of course) since this will further reduce input lag even on a 60fps limit. The only way to know if the PS 5 cable is NOT 2.1 compliant is doing a 4K 120hz 422 or better signal. If it can display that - it’s a 2.1 cable.
Your tv only has 1 HDMI 2.1 port out of 4 try putting it in the correct port.
So now put in the Xbox hdmi cable in the ps5 and show us 😉
It's the same...
Already did that even with a old ass cable it's the same.
@@Droideka666 u dont have a moniter stfu
Thank you for sharing this video, i will post right now on PS5 FB group because I mentioned that several times and no one was convinced of my words that PS5 cable just 2.0 and not 2.01.. While the xbox x indeed 2.01
Thank you. Really appreciate it. I had to make this video because people were saying a lot of things in my comments section.
Because people just believe what big boys say. Sad
Day 1 ps5 owner here and recently upgrade 4k 120hz monitor with hdmi 2.1. Still using same free ps5 hdmi cable given. Able to access 4k 120hz and vrr with that cable no issue. idk, maybe im not from the US.
So Sony used the same HDMI cable they used In their PS4 Pro, right?
What if I use it with the PS4 Slim's cable, would it change anything or make the resolution worse?
And also did you feel that there was a more delay time while using the PS4's cable or grainy resolution?
These are all the questions I would like to be answered :)
All the cables from the PS4 lineup are the same they are all high speed cables from the OG console to the slim to the pro. Being high speed means it can support all resolutions up to 4K 120fps hope that answers your question
@@ryans413 thanks for the answer!
@@proskills991 no problem they are high speed cables so they can pass multiple bandwidths with no issue
Bro becouse you need to set the pre set setting on the ps5 to performance and the games that you play need to support 120 Hz try CoD back ops cold war and you will see that the resolution will change in the output setting and plus the home screen for the UI it will run on that resolution no need to run on 120Hz
This is way your seeing this problem and why your so confused 🤷🏻♂️
But he is saying the cable serial is the same...so its the surplus ps4 Pro cable repackaged right?
Nope i've tested this before it is 2.1 the problem is with ur tv bro
Thanks for the video I've been known that 2.1 Hdmi are virtually useless at this point because no content is being put out yet that supports it. Even sony has said it themselves that they will upgrade in the future I say that can be a couple of years if you have a 4k tv u shouldn't worry about buying one for the 2.1 now its pointless.
The cable is 2.1 the PS5 chipset is 2.1 @32gbs but Sony hasn’t updated it yet?? That’s why you not getting 8K support. Also XBOXSX has HDMI 2.1 capped at 40GBs 10bit color. PS5 right now does 32GBs 12bit and maybe not capped, but we are just waiting to hear more info since PS5 HDMI info was just discovered.
Man but now everyone is talking about because Vince Teoh made video on this. I explained that already in my video when I tested cables with marantz cable testing earlier.
@@MyGadgetsWorld You said the ps5 cable is 2.0b why are you lying lol and Vince just proved it’s a 2.1 cable because you wouldn’t get above 18 gbps(2.0) unless it’s 2.1 cable also he just confirmed the hdmi chipset is 2.1 and is capable of 40gbps at least so Sony will patch everything.
@@Vegitobluuuuu Exactly, but maybe he not lying just wrong and can realize it is 2.1 cable otherwise it couldn’t go over 18GBs to 32GBs and maybe go to 40GBs or full 48gbs if Sony updates hdmi chipset. Who knows.
@@campos3452 whatever.. he needs to know the facts before opening his mouth now he looks like a fool 🤣 smh Xbox fan
The cable that came with the PS5 is HDMI 2.0 which is capable of 4k 120hz. Sony lied if they said it was 2.1. HDMI 2.1 cables will be labeled as "Ultra High Speed". Which clearly isn't the case with the cable that was included with the PS5.
Perfect. Someone at least with knowledge. Thank you.
So you can use it with a tv that has 2.0hdmi
I have a PS4 Pro and the 4K and HDR worked well, with the PS5 I don't have both, on a Samsung TV, I already did the methods of changing the HDMI and it doesn't work for me.
Some tip.
Same problem here
Thanks. I don't have a tv with HDMI.2 yet, the provided cable wont reach my stand so good to know I can use my gold plated 2.0
Any time!. yes you can.
Just use the HDMI 2.1 cable u get from ps5 and then whenever u get a t supporting the requirements
So if I use hdmi 2.0 well I have 120 FPS on fortnite
I mean if I use hdmi 2.0 port well I have 120 FPS on fortnite
With the ps5 hdmi 2.1
Great video! It will help me to use a hdmi 2.1 for ps4 slim?? Or is ok hdmi 2.0?? Thank's
Bro -
Is your tv have 2.1 compatible ???
Only 4 TV have 2.1 !!!
If your TV does not have 2.1 you will never get it !
Its says at .46 what tv he is using lol
EXACTLY I'm guessing my tv is 2.0 because mine is stop at 60hz.
To do 4k120@4:2:2 with hdr at 8,10,12 bits is just under 40gbps I believe. It must be a hdmi 2.1 cable but says high speed cable.
Ok this is the answer to your question... the ps5 user interface well always be running at 4k 60 hz until sony wants to provide support and add 4k 120hz support for there UI. The ps5 can run at 4k 120hz if that game.supports its. Unfortunately most high end games wont be able to run 4k at 120hz. The ps5 cable is in fact a hdmi 2.1 cable. If you wanna 1080p at 120hz go into the boost performace settings and select boost performance.
Great video! Glad you could show us the visual difference in a video format that is LESS than either of the formats you are trying to show us.
It is HDMI 2.1 as I'm at 4k 120hz with VRR on atm. The PS5 UI is only 4k at 60hz but that is a 2.1 HDMI cable that came with it as I'm playing GoW Ragnarok now at 4k 120hz
If you want to prove the haters wrong. Plug the Sony cable into the series X. And see what it says
That's a good idea. I plugged xbox cable in ps and playing smooth 120fps 4k cold war. I will try in the morning.

You are wrong
Yeah ... I don’t want to be rude but most of the time they include over specified cables just to be sure it’s good enough
The cable that came with the PS3 can actually do 4K30 ... and since Sony is best known as a home entertainment company they will always include A cable that is capable of doing more than required
Also note ... But the stand under your PS5 ... because the way you are doing now will break your console it’s not stable and will fall easily not to forget the damage your plates will endure ... it will also reduce noise since the rubber in the stand will isolate the console from where it is standing
It is HDMI 2.1. HDTV test proved this. PS5 capped to 32gb. But cable is at least 40gb

i got a question so i plugged in my cable that came along with the ps5, but i dont get any 4k screen at all. do u think that buying a hdmi 2.1 cable will work then? also does hdmi cable 2.1 work for monitors?
If you have a 4K tv make sure your 4K resolution is on on your ps5 and Tv
Is your tv at least HDCP 2.0 cause to view 4K at 60fps it needs to be 2.0. You can view 4K 30fps with HDCP 1.4 if that works then your tv not HDCP 2.0
@MyGadgetsWorld Hello! I'm from Belarus. I do not have playstation 5, but I am sure that the set includes an outdated cable (HDMI 2.0). Try experimenting with the xbox series x cable (or other real hdmi 2.1 cable). Perhaps your playstation will support 8k resolution. Also try inserting the Playstation cable into the Xbox. Perhaps some modes that require high bandwidth will disappear. GL!

Hey. Thanks for the info. You should do a video testing the ps5 cable on the Xbox series x and see what results you get. I think that would be interesting.
I hope Sony they fix this before I buy a PS5. It's ridiculous to include an inferior cable and expect us to run out and buy a 2.1 or simply put up with the 2.0
Exactly. Please share with your friends. Thank you. People dint even believe me first.
I have try 2.1 original hdmi cable but I'm not happy coz screen is darker don't have this shiny guns anymore so I don't know ps5 cable screen looks brighter. I don't know what problem is
It’s probably cause you have HDR turned on
Well pointed out, I will be sure to check the supplied cable now once it arrives... I'm not surprised. I brought a extra dual sense controller and it came with a scratch ... thats poor quality control... I have the accessories at the moment but no console ....eek
If you look at the cable that Sony supplied with the PS4 it’s says high speed on it so it has to be a 2.1 cable or else Sony would have to upgrade the cable for the PS5 so this test proves it the cable can handle 2.1
Set the tv to pc enable 4:4:4 chroma. Set ps5 full colour output
Did that already and it does not do 4:4:4 at all. you can see up to what it supports 4:2:2 YUV.
the problem is solved by buying a separate hdmi 2.1 cable? I suppose
It does come with a 2.1 cable the video maker is wrong.
Nice video man thanks for the input but can you try changing the console setting from resolution mode to performance mode then go to video output information and see if the resolution changed to (3840x2160-120hz) instead of 60hz or not of course using both ps5 and ps4 cables ? and if the results are the same so what is the difference between 2.1 and 2.0b cables if both of them can do 4k 120hz ?
I did . Check my latest video.

@@MyGadgetsWorld so what is the difference between 2.1 and 2.0b cables if both of them can do 4k 120hz ?
lol, i bought my PS5 brand new 08/21/23. never had a TV that could do 120Hz so i never noticed anything. two days ago, i bought a Sony Bravia X85K and after i setup my PS5 to it and was super stoked to see the difference.... yeah, there was none. Sony DOES 100% send HDMI 2.0 cables. Luckily, I contacted PS and they sent me a 'PlayStation 5 Ultra High Speed HDMI' free of charge, should be delivered tomorrow. But goddamn... why would you send HDMI 2.0 cables with your flagship next-gen console? That's insane. Maybe others got lucky, but like you, I was not one od the lucky ones. 🙃 I'll always love Sony over Xbox, but it just baffles me how of all companies, Sony could do this. Silly people. Lol okay, back to watching your vids real quick. Subbed too btw. 💪🏼
Figured it out. It states RGB under HDR. This is 4:4:4. But it states that it only supports 4:2:2 for 4K 120 10 bit HDR. The cable is def 2.1. The issue is the PlayStation. I believe it likely caps the colour space at 120 for a more stable connection, as seen in their XH90 TV’s
yes that is why they provided a High Speed HDMI Cable which is not 48gbps, 4:2:2 8 bit HDR, it doesn't even push to do 4:2:2:10 bit HDR. yes there is a thing 4:2:2 8 bit HDR which is inferior HDR, and does not require a very high bandwidth cable. well I am in the process of collecting more facts about it, so far I was able to play 4K 120hz using PS4 Pro cable (Identical to the model number on new PS5 cable) and was able to get same results.
@@MyGadgetsWorld it’s definitely a 2.1 rated cable as I’ve tested this on my 3080 and it’s displays PC RGB at 10 bit. You need to run a game with the PS4 pro cable and when it is running go back into settings. I believe the cable is simply displaying what the TV is capable of and will black screen if 4K 120 is forced. That or it is downsampling when you start a game to 8 bit. Again, this is why you need to go back into display settings when a game is running. Ps the LG CX video settings video is great. But the CX runs ‘standard’ RGB by default. To unlock PC RGB you need to put the console in PC mode. This unlocks RGB to a deeper range of colour
I did further testing on PS5 and was outputting YUV 422 8 bit on 4K 120hz.
Thank you. I actually did comparison with Xbox Series X and that outputs 4K 120hz properly. Too tired as stayed all night long to sort it out. Expecting to upload in afternoon, that resolves some confusion. I also tested the cable with RTX 3080 FE but once the hdmi 2.1 on both source and display then it actually shows 10bit RGB even with PS4 Pro hdmi cable which is 18bgps. Cable connection is established even at low bandwidth but it cannot perform as intended , that's my point
@@MyGadgetsWorld can the ps5 do 4k120 at 12 bit RGB? With hdmi 2.0? And 2.1?
Mine says yuv 422 at 120hz with hdmi 2,0. , But what it would happen with 2.1?
Ps5 cant do 10 bit i don't understand
HDMI 2.0b cannot do 4k 120. You don't know what you're talking about. The TV might tell the ps5 it can do it but when you actually go to play a games it will drop signal and have issues due to the bandwidth limitations.
Careful with unplugging hdmi cables with both machines are still active.. this can destroy your whole hdmi port's fuse. And most of them are in series connection.
Hey! Do I just need a hdmi 2.1 cable for the features or do I need a tv too?plz respond!🙏
The cable is 2.1 certified. Doesn't need to say it on the cable for it to be. This has been proven many times at this stage.
I took the PS4 HDMI cable to use with my 4K UHD Blu-ray player and LG CX. I could only get 4K60 YUV444, 4K60 YUV422 or 4K60 RGB, but only in 8bit depth color, not 10bit. Do you have sure your TV is receiving 10bit?
I plugged in a 48gbps cable that I use for connecting PC to OLED. I tried it and it says all the same things on the ps5.
I also used the ps5 hdmi cable on my 3080 and it worked fine. I was playing Control at 4K DLSS with HDR and at 120 fps with the ps5 hdmi cable.
I believe the xsx cable is 40gbps and the ps5 cable is 32gbps. I have an LG C1 and the hdmi ports are capped at 40gbps.
Did you try the other HDMI plug in on your TV. Because not all HDMI in will do 120hz. Only 1 or 2 if you haave 4 HDMI plug ins
Yes I did this on the Samsung QLED 8K TV with HDMI 2.1.
HDMI 2.1 features are not going to work on an HDMI 2.0 TV no matter what cable is used. You need a TV with HDMI 2.1 ports.
You also need a tv that supports hdmi 2.1
Exactly he’s tv doesn’t support it don’t listen to him
So instead of wondering, can’t we just buy a 2.1 hdmi cable just to be extra sure? Or is it best to use what Sony provided?
I tried both might have less screen tearing with 2.1
I’m using the HDMI cable that Sony supplied with the PS4 since I have a bunch of them on my 4K blu ray player and works perfectly fine with blu rays in 4K at 60fps I’ve also tested that cable on my pc sending my tv 4K 120fps works fine and tv and pc recognize HDCP 2.1 so I’d say cable is fine to use on multiple applications

There is only 1 way to prove that the cable is hdmi 2.1. Since we already established HDMI 2.0b already does 4K 120.

“OK, just double checked on the CX using the VRR/4K120 confirmation display (press green button 3x quickly on the remote) and the PS5 HDMI cable fully passes 4K120 HDR with no problems so we can safely say it's "ultra high speed" capable.

Good to know. I am using the cable that came with my PS5, and it says “High Speed”. I didn’t see 120Hz when I looked at the Video Output Info. I thought I would have to get an HDMI 2.1 compliant TV. I have the Samsung MU6300
Your tv doesn’t support 120 hz
I have the same tv
I have YUV422( HDR ) instead of RGB like what you have. How is this possible? It also says " When displaying 4k HDR content at 60hz, the color format will be YUV422 or Yuv420 instead of RGB due to HDMI 2.0 transfer speed limitations." But i have the original 2.1cable that came with PS5. I dont understand it at all
PS5 is locked at 422 8 bit hdr
MyGadgetsWorld men i dont understand this at all. I turned on my hdmi uhd color like i did with my PS4 Pro. On my pro i have 2160p RGB with HDR and here i dont have it. How come you have it? Or does it only work now with hdmi 2.1 input?
@@zlatkomiskovic7715 there is none. Ps5 is locked at 422 8 bit HDR
MyGadgetsWorld Sorry i saw your first massage but bc of frustration i was to blind to read "locked" So PS5 has capped bandwith of 32gbps instead of 40gbs for ful 4.4.4 chroma.
Edit:
Sony will release later on a software update for PS5 so it can recieve 8k resolution and VRR so probably they can do something also with the capped bandwith speed dont you think?
No problem
So why are some 2.1 cables labeled as high speed and not ultra in stores? 300 dollar cables that are 2.1 labeled as high speed, what do you say about that?
Don’t listen to this guy he has no idea what is he saying
Hey just clarify me, i am using ps5 original cable and in Ps5's video output signal thing it says can't can't display rbg(hdr) colors due to limitations of hdmi 2.0. is it the cable or tv's issue?
Have you tested using the HDMI cable that came with the PS5 on the Xbox Series X then checked whether you can set it to 4K/120? Coz that’ll be the ultimate test.
I have a tv that’s 4K 120hz, but does not have hdmi 2.1. If I buy a cable to get hdmi 2.1 will my games run 120 FPS in 4K on the ps5 and Xbox series X?
Play a game like devil may cry se. that game support up to 120 fps. Right now it just defaults to 60hz if you are not playing or if the game doesn’t support it.
So it don’t matter what gaming monitor u play the ps5 on will it still be 4K ? And like 1440 p or 2160 p ? On a gaming monitor I have a 27 inch Samsung gaming monitor that is 1920x1080 HD led 60 Hz 4ms is that good for ps5 and the 4k graphics? Someone lmk
If we get the HDMI cable 2.1 then we need new TV to support that
I have Samsung tv series 6 & 43 inches will it be able to run 120hz & 120fps or just 60hz & 60fps?
Now the real question is will the PS5 run at 1080p 120hz on a monitor that has HDMI 1.4 ports?
(and fyi 1.4 does support 1080p 120hz, as long as your TV/monitor also have that function)
Okay how about actually setting it to 4K 120hz instead of 60hz? Resolution should output at 3840x2160- 120hz instead of 3840x2160- 60hz if that wire is capable of 120. I could be wrong but I have seen people's show that in videos
It does not output on the home and settings screen, when you play game it automatically switches to 120hz.
There is no option to change it to 120hz, stupid Sony will change it for you when it’s needed on ps5 games that can handle it, kinda of dumb
Literally saw someone on a playstation community on Facebook showing it outputting 120hz instead of 60hz.
I have the 4k smart tv but i thought i have 2 buy a new one with hdmi2.1 ports thanks for the vid helps allot
I've been using a random hdmi cable with my ps4. Can I keep using that on my ps5? It would be really nice if I didn't have to lift the TV off the wall to reach the hdmi ports
The cable can bottleneck your graphics quality. You need a ultra high speed cable to handle high data transfer.
All you need to look for in the cable is that it says high speed that means the cable can support all resolutions from 480P to 4K 120fps
Can you go back and check the settings again after connecting 2.0 cable
It remained same. Since both cables are same. Both cables are high speed hdmi cables , funny thing is ps5 cable has same serial number as some ps4 pro cables.
My tv has 2.0 hdmi port so if I put the 2.1 cable from the ps5 box and connect it to my tv will everything work or should I get a 2.0 cable that I connect from the console to the tv?
It will not make difference you will use hdmi 2.1 it will work as HDMI 2.0
@@MyGadgetsWorld thanks I’m new to this
if you don't need a 2.1 cable, do you still need a 2.1 tv ? I've got a 4k TV but it 2.0hdmi
Yes if you want 120fps gaming that isnt downgraded to 1080p because the PS5 doesnt support 1440p.
Your TV has to have 2.1 support otherwise you would not get 2.1 features like 4k120 VRR and ALLM
@@Vegitobluuuuu thank for the reply... I'll stick with my ps4 Pro for now, I got a new TV 16 months ago And I suppose lower PS5 graphics can't be much better than the PS4 pro 👍
@@Lump_Hammer73 PS5 games will still look better in 1080p than PS4pro games in 4K. Resolution is not that important for a game to look nice. Buy a PS5 and enjoy much better graphics, framerates and a quite machine 👍
@@Lump_Hammer73 when ps4 came out I don’t know why I didn’t get it til 2017 ps4 pro released and I had no idea so I bought the pro. Ps5 is on another level IMO ...ps4 pro can’t output native 4K it’s between 1080p - 1440p with upscaling. Ps5 can play native 4K60-120fps not to mention SSD power over HDD and HDMI 2.1 over 2.0 and so many goods. So my point is you’ll love the ps5 no matter what
I totally agree with you there because if Sony are saying that it’s a high speed 48Gbps 2.1 hdmi cable when it’s not it’s only a a hdmi 2.0b cable that comes with the PlayStation 5 it’s definitely false representation and definitely FALSE ADVERTISING people could sue Sony for that cause your not getting the hdmi Cable in the box what they are saying it is but I use a high speed Akord v2.1 hdmi 120hrz cable on my PlayStation 5 and they are absolutely perfect for gaming
I have a MSI G241 144hz monitor but it only got HDMI 1.4, can it run 120Hz on PS5?
You have to try. I have heard from people that some work and some don't!
@@MyGadgetsWorld Alright thanks
Probably a dumb question, but will a good ultra high speed 2.1 cable have any benefits on a tv that only supports 2.0. I have the Sony a8h and just used a random 2.0 cable that was laying around, so idk if getting a good 2.1 cable will have any added benefits for the overall experience, or should I just get a more premium 2.0 cable?
hi, do you know the answer?
can you answer me to this question please?hdmi 2.0b can run vrr? because i bought new tv with hdmi 2.1 & vrr so i want to know if there is a problem here. Thank you(please continue)
No problem at all. I just finished even using PS4 cable on xbox series x and it worked fine.
Btw Sony doesn't have VRR as of now so cable will work fine. But not sure when they turn on VRR then it will or not.
@@MyGadgetsWorld can hdmi2.0b use vrr?Do u have any source to test it?
This guy didn't turn off ps5 or tv while switching cables
So basically
You are right and
Tens of youtubers , blogs and the company who made the the console is wrong !
Good luck convincing people 🤣
I think that tv only has 1 hdmi port at 2.1 are u using the right one. I have c9oled and all 4 have hdmi 2.1 on that one. I believe its the 4th port.
Yes. That's true. It has gaming logo on it
@@MyGadgetsWorld u know what u doin then. I believe u but thats weird
