The next big HDMI leap will change how you watch TV - what the 2.2 standard means
Briefly

HDMI 2.2 technology significantly advances audio and video potential with higher bandwidth and resolutions than HDMI 2.1. It allows for 4K at 480 Hz, 8K at 240 Hz, and 16K at 60 Hz. Additionally, it supports uncompressed video formats with 10-bit and 12-bit color at various resolutions. However, the adoption of native 8K content remains limited, suggesting that HDMI 2.2's capabilities may outpace current hardware usage. The technology also includes a Latency Indication Protocol to improve synchronization between audio and video signals in home theater setups.
The arrival of HDMI 2.2 technology ushers in a new era of audio/video potential, enhanced by increased bandwidth and resolution, promising phenomenal visual experiences.
HDMI 2.2 allows for uncompressed video formats with 10-bit and 12-bit color at 8K 60 Hz and 4K 240 Hz, presenting new heights in video quality.
Despite its capabilities, native 8K content is still rare, and HDMI 2.1 hasn’t been fully utilized, indicating the HDMI 2.2's advancements may be premature.
The new Latency Indication Protocol (LIP) builds on HDMI 2.1's synchronization features, helping to solve audio and video sync issues in home theater setups.
