Almost eight years after the release of HDMI 2.1, and nearly 12 years after HDMI 2.0 was pushed out into the world, HDMI 2.2 is finalized and ready to go. Other minor improvements are being rolled out with HDMI 2.2, including what’s called a Latency Indication Protocol or LIP. Look for the new Ultra96 HDMI 2.2 cable. That means it might be a while before you start seeing products with HDMI 2.2 on the box (or on the online listing). To begin with, you might find HDMI 2.2 equipment is significantly more expensive than the hardware it’s replacing, but technology prices will always come down over time.
