HDMI 2.1

[H3LLSMAN]

Is there any TVs out right now with HDMI 2.1? I have a feeling they will probably be on 2019 lineups hopefully also along side BFG displays, but currently there are a few with 120hz native refresh rate panels but they come with HDMI 2.0 which only supports 60Hz at 4k.

Not possible yet.

Hmmm thanks, its does say to be finalized late 2018 so 2019 should start seeing some models? (as an estimate) but then would also need to wait till another graphics revision to take advantage of HDMI 2.1 since the 2080ti does not support that correct. I have heard that updates from some TV manufactures will add in "some" features of HDMI 2.1 to existing models but I am guess that is going to be limited.

That is correct, we will need new graphics cards to support HDMI 2.1. I would also expect the first displays to appear in 2019, but I wouldn't expect to see it in practical/affordable models until 2020 at the earliest.
