Filled with wrong information.
First and easiest. Anything that you can display over DVI can be displayed on a display that has implemented DVI over HDMI, so DVI doesn't look better than HDMI for any technical reason. This is how all those non-standard resolutions over HDMI work, and allows for color combinations that are not part of the standard.
Now that is established. 4k doesn't actually require HDMI 2.0 to work because any combination of resolution and color that is supported by the "speed" of the wire and can be communicated in the "handshake" between devices can work now.
Unlike most standards HDMI has "requirements" for certification, but those are not the upper limits they are the lower limits.
So 4k 24 FPS at 4:2:0 could be negotiated on an HDMI cable that is 1.1 compliant.
Author should read less Wikipedia. When I was at Microsoft's Media Room I had to have IT block Wikipedia because engineers were getting so much wrong information from its articles. Read the standards, talk to device manufactures. Wikipedia is not a place for deep tech, it is a place for a quick answer. If it isn't a knol of data like a stat for transfer speed, assume someone like this author wrote it, and it will be inaccurate.

- lstamour 13y agoI have to agree. I didn't see any mention of H.265 (edit: excuse me, HEVC), yet I'm sure I've read that it's what's going to speed up 4k beyond current HDMI 1.4 limits. (Though I see now via Google that HEVC requires quite a bit of hardware for real-time compression of a live signal at broadcast quality.) That said, I wouldn't bash Wikipedia too much. Write up better sources and I'm sure the editors will notice ;-)
