- iwasakabukiman 6y agoIt can do 120 FPS, which is considered “high frame rate” for televisions. 60 FPS is generally considered standard.
- duhi88 6y agoWhat content is available over 60fps? I don't think they ever released The Hobbit in 48fps, and that's the only movie I'm aware of that was filmed with higher fps. Is this just for games?
- cruano 6y agoAll Formula 1 races are streamed at 60fps, and there's also iPhone-recorded videos But yeah, not much over 60
- layer8 6y agoCan it? The HDMI 2.1 footnote says "Support for up to 4K 60-fps HDR video output", and 120 isn't mentioned anywhere on the spec page.
