This video explains the new changes in the HDMI naming system and the features of products that carry the HDMI 2.1 label. I explains that, contrary to popular belief, the label does not indicate the capabilities of the device and that the device manufacturers have no say in the naming. So in order to know a devices capabilities, you need to know all the possible features and look for them in the device specs. These features include: Dynamic HDR, Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Quick Media Switching (QMS), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). Then I explain the supposed reasoning for why the went with the dumb naming system.
