According to YouTuber @HDTVTest, the HDMI 2.1 output bandwidth of Sony’s new-generation game console PS5 is limited to 32Gbps, while the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth of Microsoft Xbox Series X is 40Gbps.
Naijatechnews has learned that the theoretical bandwidth of the HDMI 2.1 interface is 48Gbps, supporting 8K 60p and 4K 120p. It is not clear whether the PS5 HDMI 2.1 defect is a lack of hardware or a software limitation.
The reviewer compared the LG 48-inch CX TV. After the two consoles turned on the 4K 120Hz mode, the PS5 could only present images sampled in YUV 4:2:2 color coding, while XSX supports 4:4:4 images.
In other words, PS5 players cannot experience the RGB444 10-bit picture in 4K120Hz mode, but only YUV422 12-bit.
As we all know, on PS4 Pro and Scorpio, due to the 18G bandwidth limitation of HDMI2.0, the majority of players can only output 4K 60Hz 10-bit pictures with YUV420 (or 422) material, which is controversial.
In the video, Vincent Teoh used a hidden tool called Free Sync Information to demonstrate the parameters of PS5 outputting “Devil May Cry 5” through HDMI 2.1. The specifications of the current output screen can be displayed in the corner of the screen.
