PS5 features on the Sony BRAVIA X9000H

Speaking of the PS5 features on this Sony BRAVIA TV, it brings with it HDMI 2.1 which is a feature the console is touting. This doesn’t mean you won't be able to connect your PlayStation 5 to your current TV, it just means that your TV will become the limiting factor when trying to make the most of the console. Let’s try and understand this. 

The PS5 claims to be able to 4K and 120fps. Most 4K TVs today are limited to 60fps. So even though you will be able to play games on your current TV, you will be limited to the framerate of 60 frames per second which is the cap for most TVs today. With HDMI 2.1, the PS5 will also be able to exploit features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). To use any of these features your TV needs to have HDMI 2.1. VRR ensures you get a smoother experience with the frame rate when playing games, ALLM helps with input lag. 

However, it must be noted that the HDMI 2.1 features will come to the Sony BRAVIA X9000H via a firmware update.
