Is the HDMI Cable Included with Sony PS5 Really HDMI 2.1? Tested!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2020
- We test whether the HDMI cable included with the Sony PS5 (Playstation 5) console is indeed HDMI 2.1, by using a Denon X2700H receiver which can run a cable test up to 40Gbps.
We also present two further evidence of the Sony PS5's HDMI 2.1 bandwidth being capped at 32Gbps, namely an LG C9 (with an HDMI 2.1 bandwidth of 48Gbps), and also the FRL information on the Denon receiver (added after a firmware update).
The Zeskit Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable (certified HDMI 2.1 48Gbps) can be purchased here*: geni.us/hdmi21cable

Is the HDMI Cable Included with Sony PS5 Really HDMI 2.1?
Yes.
You tubers love to drag shit lmao
Thanks for this lol
Thanks
ty my nigga, this video could've been done in 10 seconds

You miss the whole point of the video. If you wanted to know the answer in 10 seconds, you should've Google it and not click on a 10 minute video 🤦🏻♂️
Also since people already doubt if the cables are really 2.1, he's showing us proof as well.
Vincent is the type of guy to bring his own HDMI cables to a Netflix party
Vincent is the type of guy that will take with him a stack of 4k HDR Blu-ray's... Compression streaming... YIKES :D
Vincent most likely would invite everyone to his apartment to be able to let everyone enjoy true atmos and hdr
I’ve never heard that one before
LOLLLL
Pretty sure he's always hosting the netflix party...
Vincent, you are spoiling us with all this content.
Wait, people on the internet doubted a professional and their results?
No way!
Sony fanboys are everywhere...
Yes it's so fanboysh to beleve that the cable are garbage. Now we know it's a money saver. And everyone are happy in the end.
@@ironmanDX It's probably xbox fans trying to downplay PS5
@ADommM Laughing at Boomers hahah yep, that's why xbots keep waiting, xbox has no games and multiplats runs best on PS5 😂
@ADommM Laughing at Boomers Found the Xbox fanboy downplaying the PS5!
Whether it's cables or condoms, Vincent always emphasises the quality of the sheath.
hahaha
Vince is savage. :)
Did we expect any less from greatness? 😂🤣
@@mailoboy398 of course not!
xDD
" i always use my own condom cuz I know the expiration date." Hahaha
Wise words.. I would write that down to tell your kids in the future
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it! Hahaha
I love how he says it so matter-of-factly, as if it's just common-sense that everyone should, but sadly doesn't, possess.
Lmao is is the ONLY reason I clicked on comments is to verify what I heard, because there’s no way you can say that in a video and NOT have it be commented on lol
I love it!
This video was perfectly timed!! I was using an Audio Quest Pearl HDMI for my PlayStation 5 and only a few hours ago changed to the cable which came with the box as i was paranoid the Pearl wasn't 2.1 capable. Really glad to see this test pass, thanks a lot Vincent, keep up the good work!
So detailed, factual & to the point, appreciate your work sir!!
No one should ever doubt Vincent when it comes to HDTV Tests, or carrying condoms!
2.1 HDMI knowledge drop. That's what I call bars! You tell them, Vincent.
@@CallmeSins you can update the bugs and capped settings...
I haven't seen any videos on properly setting up the PlayStation 5 on the LG C9..... Would that be possible next please?
@@CallmeSins why so negative? My ps5 is pretty great as well as my rig. Probably going to get a series x later, but my pc is good enough for now.
@@grudgep3rsona375 that's what I'm saying if it's capped at first you're not getting it native..4k 120hz

“Some quarters” is starting to become my favorite Vince phrase
Thank you for clarifying this Vincent as this was my question from your earlier video. Keep up the good work!
I just watched the reflection of a mans hands for 10 minutes.
But what a specimen! The narration is also impeccable!

@@SleeperNO I didn’t understand a word he spoke. Liked the video anyway
Glad I found this video, I have a new X2700H and have been using Club3D HDMI2.1 cables since they came out first a year or two ago, they were the only cable I trusted that wouldnt give me black screen when using as a LG C9 monitor. Results are that they PASSED 40GBPS
how do you access the diagnostics cable menu? I have the same receiver. Thanks
Love to see a full episode on PS5 with the C9. Performance benchmarks with best settings etc.. would be epic. Keep up the good work!
Bump
Yup!
Yes that would be great
This please.
Agreed, I have a c9 and it’s been such a pain in the ass trying to find proper settings. Every video now is using the CX
vincent crushing the doubters and trolls once again lol
A little over a year since uploading this video, I want to tell you that your video was demonstrably helpful. I just got a PS5 and plugged it into my TV without using the bundled cable. My entertainment set up has cables everywhere so I didn't pay much attention to the spec limit in the cable I already had in my system. Then I came across information that 2.1 was a new spec. Did a little reading into it and realized that my PS5 needs it!
Several nights ago after I had set up my PS5 I stashed all excess cables in an unorganized drawer. So now I had to navigate through the AV Cable spaghetti of a mess I have in that drawer. Problem is that I did not remember what the PS5 HDMI cable looked like. Thanks to this video and the 4k resolution of the part number, I was able to identify the correct one. All the cables I have in my drawer look fancy, have gold plating and nice shielding. I was shocked to see that the PS5 HDMI cable looked so ordinary and plain. I couldn't believe this cheap looking thing was the most advanced cable I had in my drawer. So, yeah. Thanks a bunch for uploading this video.
I want to put out there that the cable that was previously in place before setting up my PS5 was an old Radio Shack HDMI cable that I used for my PS4. How embarrassing.
This was extremely useful to me because I mixed up my PS5 HDMI and other HDMI cables I had and assumed that the "premium high speed" was the 2.1 and the "high speed" (not labelled ultra) must be the 2.0 which as you explained is NOT the case. I just bought a 120 Hz OLED so now I can switch the cables and get full performance. Thank you very much sir.
Very in-depth and informative as usual. Thank you Vincent
Im so grateful I found this channel, will follow you forever!
Vincent just wrecked y’all fools.
Quantum TV in particular
Not to suprised many claimed it wasn't the PS5 but the cable. I had a feeling it wasn't the cable as you went back and forth with an Xbox Series X, PS5, and 30 series GPU.
Vincent, your hard work is much appreciated and your humor is unmatched. 👍
Thanks so much for the much-needed knowledge and clarifying all the rumors - you rock!
Vincent you are an international star!!! Lol thank you for the great content and not being afraid to show the truth.
Ya'll thought our boy was using HDMI cables from the box?!
He is
@@69metersbelow25 hes talking about the original vid which he wasn't he was using his own certified cables
nah i thought he was another condom user
@@jjadey1752 No, he's talking about the cult-like Sony fankids who gathered like a pack of rabid savages over his video last night showing that the PS5 only outputs 32Gbps. So like the freaks they are, they proceeded to claim it was because the cable that comes with the PS5 wasn't HDMI 2.1, as if they are getting paid by Sony for such ridiculous damage control or that this TV expert & genius doesn't know what he is doing. So he released this video today to shut the kids down.
@@nonyabusiness6084 Your comment says way more about you than “Sony fan boys”.
Great video thank you for this. I would have never thought you could loop a hdmi cable back to itself and run a test like that
Vincent I've been watching you for almost 2 years but today I finally subbed.Sorry it took so long. You deserved better.
Anyone that knows your work should know that you don't lie on what you report, a fanboy will always damage control iv seen it from both sides shame you had to make this video to a prove your reports but i understand why.
I'm loving both consoles and looking forward to what's to come 😁
Keep up the good work 😁
Condoms aside, at least we know the bandwidth constriction on PS5 isn't due to the cable.
Yes, so very comforting.
Or the display
sony is cheap. I knew it!!! 😀
funny how the cable is more powerful than the PS5.
@@JuanDiaz-jo1rw cable doesn't have power... it's bandwidth is higher, but Sony says they are going to address it... it remains to be seen if the lower bandwidth is a hardware of software limitation.
Why are these videos so chill and therapeutic to watch
Super useful, well articulated and backed up by fact... subscribed 👍
Vincent uses certified Magnum 2.1s only.
It’s the only certified condom to cover 8K 😂🤣
I was so waiting for the "I am not Wong" comment. He dropped the bomb @9:37
Classic
Man you're a GOAT. You made the video I was EXACTLY searching for !! :D
Really enjoying the video carnival between the TV testers. Fun.
Omg he has a ps5 now. Can't wait for his TV setup guide for ps5 🥰
Long time no talk Vincent, I hope you’re doing well! So I did this with the Marantz SR7015 and the PS5 cable failed 3 out of 10 times, so 30% of the time, it does not pass anything. I get a full cable fail. I released my video on this same topic Thursday. Also, I can confirm with the Marantz video info screen that the PS5 is capped at 32 Gbps when outputting 4K120Hz as it’s YUV422 from the console and not 4:4:4.
Is it possible this could be a software cap, and unlocked with a patch? Or is it likely that this is a fixed hardware limit?
@@2drealms196 the chip is supporting 40 gbits.
You also ommited that fact that Sony cable did not even pass 18 gbit.. strange.
@@lolerie So with the SR7015, you will get one of the following messages:
PASS-8K(40Gbps)
4K(18Gbps) PASS / 8K(24Gbps) FAIL
4K(9Gbps) PASS / 4K(18Gbps) FAIL
CABLE TEST FAIL
I have seen on my SR7015 everything except the 4K(9Gbps) PASS / 4K(18Gbps) FAIL, however, I think CABLE TEST FAIL means it fails everything, 9Gbps, 18Gbps, 24Gbps, 40Gbps...all of it. A full cable failure.
@@TechnoDad Yeah, and that is the point. Sony cable did not even get to 9 gbit even though it is marked as 18 gbit?
Thanks Vincent 👍 great information as usual.
The clearest explanation ever. Subbed
As brought to you by Vincent "Definitely Not Wong" Teoh
Vincent created this video to do a ultra high speed dunk on those chaps questioning his methods. Well done mate, mission accomplished in style.
Probably studied at Cambridge Very informant Great job keep it up Watching Your channel since the 1st
Vincent you are awsome following it up :D btw first and only chanel i use the bel notification :)
Awesome! Thanks for doing this. Certainly creates confusion when it doesn't carry the official Ultra High Speed HDMI name, or the certification QR code. Very nice of you to provide this peace of mind :)
It does carry 18 gbit HDMI name which adds to more confusion.
My name is Vincent teo i am not Wong 😂😂😂
😂
@@GarethColquhoun You might be surprised to learn that Dong knows tech, as well.
Regarding the PS5 to C9 with the PS5 high speed HDMI cable, it's interesting to me to see that the FFE level is 3. This is the highest allowable value, so it's taking the maximum amount of TxFFE available to the Panasonic bridge chip transmitter to pass FRL Rate 4 (4x8Gbps) to the TV. Seems like the link signal integrity might be at its limit or marginal. This might warrant some eye diagram measurements.
You got featured today on Dutch tech news website Tweakers about PS5 supporting 32Gb/s at 120hz! :D
@MonsterKat I doubt a firmware update (which was probably planned from the start) couldn't fix this. I mean, even the X360 went from being a 720p console to 1080p.
@@xmaverickhunterkx yes it will! The PS4 was firmware updated later to support HDR. The Xbox one couldn’t.
Real HDMI 2.1 supports 48gbs and the hdmi of xsx supports 40gbs. HDMI of xbox is garbage.
@@vermark1_5 And ps5 only supports 32 currently. I guess ps5 sucks ass right?
@Vermark
So? The PS5 offers an even lower bandwidth of 32Gbps. I don't own an Xbox at all, but I just don't understand you console fanboys.
Your knowledge of this subject is invaluable to 70% of end users of these consumer products. I'm a newly subscribed to your channel..
So I would like to say a massive thank you, for all your hard work and time invested.
👌👍🙏 All the very best for 21
Vincent, thank you for all your efforts and professionalism. Could you just ask Sony directly if they have capped the bandwidth? and if they have why? If they have not, then on spec's alone it is inferior to the Xbox but in the real world could you actually see that difference?
Great review. Thanks for the info.
thanks so much man!!! i tried to look up the info of the hdmi cable of the ps5 before but there was no info 👍🏿
Love that receiver hdmi test option.
very convenient
How do you use that feature?
I am using a 16ft Zeskit cable for my PS5 to a Sony X900H. It works flawlessly!
Same, when I tried using the HDMI cable that came with the PS5, if would not let me do 120hz on COD, until I switched to the Zeskit.
So I definitely need a 2.1 cable
Hahaha I like there is always a funny comparaison. Keep doing the good work!
Great update.
Thanks for clarifying that there is no HDMI 2.1 cable. Still people buying NEW cable because of the "need" of HDMI 2.1 . The cable must just pass the ULTRA HIGH Speed test. Even a 10 year old cable can pass this test if the quality from the cable is good enough.
He just said it's a ultra high speed lol watch again
Vincent here doing God's work.
😂
I just recently purchased (2) 16ft Zesk Kit / hdmi 2.1 cables and I’m very impressed thus far.
the condom analogy was so unexpected lmao
LMFAO 🤣 my name is Vincent and I am not Wong...... Wow that did for me you're the Man 👍🏼👌🏽
2:12
I always insist to use my own condom.
Because, I know the expiry date
Lmao ....great analogy
Vincent ...
As always, excellent! 👍
Oh, also CONGRATULATIONS ON 1/4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, HDTVTEST!
Thanks everyone for your support! :-)
That update better be coming HELLA FAST PS5 !!!
So... I don’t *really* need a new cable then?
Your link just goes to a page listing search results and the cable isn’t listed.
Nice review thanks Mr. Vince
I learn so much from this guy.
Rumour squashed. Thank you Vincent!
Now then, what about the game options in the PS5 menu system for 'performance' versus 'resolution' ? As, the rumour for this is that: changing this from the 'default' to 'resolution' will mean the system changes the video output signal for games.
That's the other rumour.
Thank you for confirming this Vincent Right! I mean Teoh. 😁
Well done Vincent. I was hoping you would do the same test with your certified 48GBPS just to show us they are true.
Are you going to release a LG CX PS5 settings video? Keep up the great work!
Anyone who knows your work knows you put enormous effort into avoiding outside factors and variables impacting your findings. Don’t listen to the doubters.
@planet42 nah
It's more likely the PS5 is outputting on a per game basis, and certain things may be limited at the moment, like 8k and VRR so I take any tests taken currently with a grain of salt
@planet42 there is no any e-marker, it is not like with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3
@@Chr15Payne But Vincent showed that the notation about switching to 4:2:2 was right at the system options level, so it's not on a game by game basis - the one game was just confirmation that the system did what the system-level notation said it would do.
This could potentially be patchable for the system, but right now, it's not a game by game thing.
As always great work Vincent. Thank you so much for clearing this up. Wonder why Sony did this? Do you think this issue can be fix with an update from Sony?
Yes!
@@ChumpyChicken2 no, and you are not Vincent
@@Goldmember200887 we all know yes buddy boy. Don’t be ignorant.
@@ChumpyChicken2 who is all of you? There is Panasonic controller from PS4 pro in ps5, nobody knows what will be.
Sony cable can handle HDMI 2.1
Good work, you the man!
Could we get an Xbox series X settings video for hdmi 2.0 TVs? Interested to know your opinion on how the lower bandwidth affects your recommended settings, especially 4:2:2 and also what's possible for 120hz support, dropping to 1440p to get 120hz on a Q9FN means losing HDR, is this a bandwidth or Xbox issue?
People actually doubted the tests of the legend Vincent 🤣🤣🤣 lol
"I have a c9 laying around"
Yes, somewhere in my closet between my condoms lol
@@jansap7472 😂
Weird flex but ok
Are they expired tho
I heard that was the last good oled from lg. The c9 i heard was the brightest, even brighter than the cx.
It definitely makes a difference, as I used a old hdmi cable to test my ps5 and the picture was all screwed up.swaped out to the cable that came with it and it worked fine.
Great work Vincent
I remember that LG HDMI 2.1 originally came out with 48gbps in the 2019 models, and stepped it down, to 40gbps in 2020. This took the capabilities of the 4K 120hz 12bit color, to 4K 120hz 8bit color
10 bit color. Not 8 bit. The ps5's 32gbps ports are stuck with 8 bit
... Damn
I'd love for you to test input lag with the avr vs plugged into the tv directly
Good video as always Vince! I actually was wondering if this thin cable in the PS5 would do 4K 120. I pray my PS5 isn’t plagued with a lot of the reports of it being pooch screwed! And for Quantum TV bud tell him to hoop his forehead. The dude hides behind a camera!!
Thank you so much for all these videos it has been a boon in the last month or so leading up to my ps5 and tv purchase. Taking a chance here as I know I am not the only one who would like this ; can you do a "recommended best setting" for ps5 and x900h tv?
Condoms and cables. Thank you Vincent 😂
Dude, his quips and one liners effing kill me every time. He sounds so professional and matter of fact then he lets you know he insists on using his own condoms... lol
very good video thanks for the info
@vincent Should we still label the HDMI input to PC for PS5?
Can you do a video showing the best settings to play the ps5 on? I'm having trouble calibrating my t.v to something I'm happy with.
Yes $99 charge.
Then you need a new tv
LMAO🤣🤣🤣 smoking gun at the end just for good measure
Great video. What brands do y'all recommend for a 4k ultra high speed hdmi 2.1?
LOL "I'm not Wong"
You might not be Wong, but you sure are Correct Vincent. Very good analysis and break down. I like that the Denon was able to do test on cable like that. Also your LG C9 has good info on the display as well. Thanks for sharing.
Why couldn't you show how to get in to this test? I can't figure it out how to access it with my Denon...
Dry af he simply sneaks in the use pf old condoms... legend🤣
The hdmi that came with the ps5 how long is it
@ Vincent does the 2700h work with the ps5 as far as pass through I’ve read nothing but bad reports about 8k and hdmi 2.1 on the new receivers
Hey Vincent, does 90 degree hdmi adapters have certain bandwidth or is universal in terms of bandwith?
Dear Vincent!
I don't understand why "Quantum TV" youtuber makes such videos about you or about Fomo. He also claimed, that Xbox Series X is capable of 48 gbps, and the 40 gbps limit is just YOUR fantasy, but I know it's a lie!! It makes me angry, and I already told him twice, but of course he ignored it. I have seen actually all of your videos and I think you are very very professional and accurate by testing this HDR TV-s (and other technical stuff), and I like your style!
Keep going on! Thank you for your great videos!
He’s keeps making them because he knows people like you will click on the video and watch it to refute his points. This helps his views and pushes him higher in the TH-cam algorithm, while also getting him ad revenue. He’s laughing all the way to the bank at your arguments defending Vincent. The best way to deal with a troll is to ignore them. Anything else is just what they want from you.
@@RickinICT true

Vincent, could you test the LG C9 with the latest firmware? I'm using an rx 5700 xt and VRR is working for me, I would appreciate any content on this, I'm using 05.00.03 software on the tv, and I can confim that it's working in 40-120 hz without any flickering (1440p, 4k only supports 40-60 hz, but I had to manually set my tv's refresh rate to 60 instead of the 59.something).
