Is the HDMI Cable Included with Sony PS5 Really HDMI 2.1? Tested!

We test whether the HDMI cable included with the Sony PS5 (Playstation 5) console is indeed HDMI 2.1, by using a Denon X2700H receiver which can run a cable test up to 40Gbps.

We also present two further evidence of the Sony PS5's HDMI 2.1 bandwidth being capped at 32Gbps, namely an LG C9 (with an HDMI 2.1 bandwidth of 48Gbps), and also the FRL information on the Denon receiver (added after a firmware update).

Is the HDMI Cable Included with Sony PS5 Really HDMI 2.1?

Yes.

[nicklong]

Vincent is the type of guy to bring his own HDMI cables to a Netflix party

[ironmanDX]

Wait, people on the internet doubted a professional and their results?

No way!

[theevilmuppet]

Whether it's cables or condoms, Vincent always emphasises the quality of the sheath.

" i always use my own condom cuz I know the expiration date." Hahaha

2.1 HDMI knowledge drop. That's what I call bars! You tell them, Vincent.

I just watched the reflection of a mans hands for 10 minutes.

[thegoodcriminal]

So basically the hdmi cord that comes with ps5 is a hdmi 2.1 cord

[crzyg]

Ya'll thought our boy was using HDMI cables from the box?!

[peacemyheart]

No one should ever doubt Vincent when it comes to HDTV Tests, or carrying condoms!

[javierpicard]

Love to see a full episode on PS5 with the C9. Performance benchmarks with best settings etc.. would be epic. Keep up the good work!

[Skylancer]

Not to suprised many claimed it wasn't the PS5 but the cable. I had a feeling it wasn't the cable as you went back and forth with an Xbox Series X, PS5, and 30 series GPU.

Vincent uses certified Magnum 2.1s only.

Condoms aside, at least we know the bandwidth constriction on PS5 isn't due to the cable.

[GamingTech-YouTube]

Thanks for clarifying that there is no HDMI 2.1 cable. Still people buying NEW cable because of the "need" of HDMI 2.1 . The cable must just pass the ULTRA HIGH Speed test. Even a 10 year old cable can pass this test if the quality from the cable is good enough.

This video was perfectly timed!! I was using an Audio Quest Pearl HDMI for my PlayStation 5 and only a few hours ago changed to the cable which came with the box as i was paranoid the Pearl wasn't 2.1 capable. Really glad to see this test pass, thanks a lot Vincent, keep up the good work!

[farkque]

Anyone that knows your work should know that you don't lie on what you report, a fanboy will always damage control iv seen it from both sides shame you had to make this video to a prove your reports but i understand why.

I'm loving both consoles and looking forward to what's to come 😁

Keep up the good work 😁

[shinkencarlos]
