FYI:
"Only HDMI 2.1 has advanced features like VRR (variable refresh rate), which reduces screen tearing, and ALLM (auto low latency mode), which reduces lag."
So without hdmi 2.1 you are stuck with 60hz online even after the update?
I edited, you should get the benefit of the higher refresh rate, but (if) SDS implements VRR after Sony's update later this week, then only HDMI 2.1 can handle that.
And VRR is only important when your framerate dips. It keeps it smooth and free of tears. If you are using HDMI 2.0 you are using 1080P resolution and you will do a constant 120 fps with no problem, so VRR isnt needed as you will be using a fixed locked 120 fps.

Did ps5 or series x come with an hdmi 2.1? I have both, but never upgraded the cables....
They come with the proper cable.
I give up lol. I have the monitor I have. I'll buy one that says hdmi 2.1 next time. This stuff is confusing.

Lol, yes you will be able to do the 120 fps @ 1080P is the short answer.
Because God knows Sony isnt gonna give us 1440p on the PS5 ever probably.

The main benefit with VRR is that it syncs the refresh rate of the display to the PS5 console’s graphic output. So if the game and monitor is using 120hz, you could have screen tearing and stutter without VRR. This is why freesync and 120hz can be excellent for fast paced games, like this one.

It’s really confusing for me too. I’m sure my current TV is junk for gaming (Vizio M55-D0) and I have the money to buy a much better one but trying to figure out the good options are then making sure I have the optimal settings starts to give me a headache.

If you say get a Gigabyte M32U that has it all, it will costs you about what 4 Trouts are worth in real money LOL

Simply put, you should consider buying a display with HDMI 2.1.

I'm listening. Why would I buy that 40" TV over the m32u monitor. Wouldn't the TV have slower response time?

SDS may need to wait on that, until Sony rolls out their VRR console update later this week for the PS5.

I have it too. Great monitor.

I didnt notice this earlier but VRR is now a setting in PS5 settings. Can enable for unsupported games as well.

Oh it does but they are only 3W speakers. I hooked up a Harmon Kardon speaker system to it and never knew how the sounds of the game sounded like LOL.

Yes the Gigabyte M32U costs about 800$, if you can get your hands on one. Because they have the same chip shortage as the next gen consoles and a bunch of other products, but that's the price to pay if you want HDMI 2.1 and be able to game at 4K@120hz. To me it is worth it though, the monitor is fantastic.

Yep, I second this!
A great TV with the specs of a nice gaming monitor... and it came out last year, before any monitors had hdmi 2.1.
My only concern was burn in, but none yet (over a year). LG has definately improved this issue from the one I had a few years ago...Which still shows the "MLB The Show 16" logo, which was burned into the screen. LOL

Unfortunately its not live online just offline
