The DisplayPort vs. HDMI discussion just became a lot more difficult. Before this news dropped, HDMI 2.1 was originally a full-on upgrade over HDMI 2.0b in terms of resolution and raw bandwidth
Since the HDMI 2.1 and HDMI 2.0 cables differ in the specs department, there’s a whole lot of difference between the picture quality offered by these two standards. Compared to the HDMI 2.0 standard, HDMI 2.1 delivers crisp images with excellent details at a buttery-smooth framerate.
