Sony’s 2021 TV lineup runs Google TV and fully embraces HDMI 2.1

[Miles]

Last year’s TV lineup from Sony took a bit of criticism since several sets were unable to take advantage of next-gen gaming features on the PlayStation 5 that shipped in November. Even if you look right now, the spread of HDMI 2.1 features is pretty sad. Sony never really acknowledged this as a mistake, believing that customers purchase its TVs for different reasons and not everyone needs every box checked off.

What a difference a year makes.

It's a shame that their 2020 OLEDs didn't have HDMI 2.1 - I'd definitely have gotten on. I got a LG CX, which is great, but I thought the Sony OLED's looked a weeeee bit better.

So what exactly does HDMI 2.1 offer over regular HDMI? Better 4/8k?

That's good to hear. This is the first time I'm hearing about Google TV though. UI looks pretty nice

Where's HDMI 2.1's LLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and HDR10+?
