Hdmi cable help..

So I have a ps5 with a gaming monitor 120 hz.. which hdmi cable should o be running 1.4.. 2.0 or a 2.1.. just looking to make sure I'm using the right one for the best output..
Thanks
-
2.1, this will allow you to access resolutions up to 8k and refresh rates in excess of 240 hz
-
Most cables already support this version of hdmi

Maybe this will be a better way ... I bought a Samsung odyssey g7.. is that a 2.1 hdmi cable output.. sorry new and should have did more research
-
Uuuuuuhhhhh yeah that will definitely support hdmi 2.1. That particular monitor is a bit of overkill for mlb the show. That monitor is meant for high intensity gaming like FPS but it certainly won’t hurt for this game

Okay thanks very much the monitor I have now I don't think supports 120 hz so I bought a new one .. but juat looking at the settings in the ps5... it says it's running at 1920×1080 120hz....im confused
-
Ps5 can only go up to 120 hz. None of the new console goes above that. I’m assuming the next version of the ps5 and Xbox will be capable of 240 hz

I also bought a G7. You get VRR with that beast. Keep it in PC mode since AV mode doesnt allow VRR. I also found dynamic hdr to be better than standard hdr. I get 4k 120hz with the g7. Its one of the cheapest of the expensive monitors that has a 2.1 hdmi port.
And make sure your firmware is 1005.2. It should be updated already but if its not you must update it. You can check by going to support > information and its displayed after the software version line in the box that pops up. Thats also how you can see if youre in 4k 120hz in a particular game.

Is this something I can all do by just having a ps5... I dont have a PC.. to do the updates if need be
-
All this tech talk got me more confused then ever.. lol inwas hoping the g7 was simple and just plug and play the ps5 into it... looking to get the max output I can with the ps5

You need to get the update firmware file onto a usb flash drive (usb 2.0 for this monitor, not 3.0, and it needs to be FAT32 format). You can get the 1005.2 update file from samsungs website. Once you dl it to a computer, unzip or extract it and then copy/move that file into an empty flash drive. Dont put the file in a folder, just put it right into the flash drive. Then once you have it on the drive, you insert it into the SERVICE usb port on the monitor, which is the one furthest away from the monitor. Then once thats inserted you go into monitors settings and select support > software update. It will proceed to search for the flash drive and if its a 2.0 usb drive it will automatically download the file. If its a 3.0 flash drive it will say it cant find the flash drive and to make sure its connected to the right port blah blah. I had to go out and buy a new flash drive for 4 bucks at walmart. Got a dinky 16gb sandisk 2.0, worked fine.
Like i said earlier tho, if you already have 1005.2 firmware version you dont have to update. For whatever reason the samsung websites latest firmware version to DL is 1004.0 and that one was replaced by the 1005.2 file in around january. Just check your monitors firmware version before you do any of this to make sure you even have to do it. Because my monitor came with 1005.2 already updated and i purchased it from bestbuy in person 3 days ago. Im not trusting a delivery driver to handle my package as carefully as it needs to be handled to ensure its not roughed up.
And as far as you not having a computer, i dont know how else youd be able to get the file onto a usb. I guess that was your original question and I kinda gave you a bunch of tertiary info but its needed nonetheless once you figure out your computer issue.

I believe the cable that comes with your PS5 is a HDMI 2.1…

Correct it is. You just need an hdmi 2.1 port on your monitor to fully utilize it.

Won't do a thing if your panel doesn't support HDMI 2.1. Don't listen to this uninformed clown, if your panel supports 2.1 then get a 2.1 cable, if not just get a 2.0 and you're good.

I included that in my soliloquy. Go into your monitor dashboard thing and go to support > information. Itll be after the words software version. It should say 1005.2 if its up to date.
