**HDMI 2.2 Set to Make Its Debut in Early January with Improved Features**

The upcoming HDMI specification, HDMI 2.2, is set to launch in early January.

As indicated in a press email, which included Mashable, the HDMI Forum— the entity tasked with establishing HDMI standards—will officially present HDMI 2.2 on January 6 in Las Vegas. This event is scheduled just one day prior to the official start of the annual **[CES](https://mashable.com/category/ces)** (Consumer Electronics Show).

Although the email did not disclose many details regarding the new standard, it affirmed that HDMI 2.2 will “accommodate a variety of higher resolutions and refresh rates.” Further information regarding the press conference at the extensive tech gathering remains limited.

As highlighted by **[Tom’s Guide](https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/hdmi-2-2-is-set-to-debut-at-ces-2025-the-new-standard-brings-higher-resolutions-refresh-rates-and-bandwidth)**, the timing of the HDMI 2.2 announcement aligns with press conferences from Nvidia and AMD, both expected to launch new GPUs. Nvidia is speculated to unveil its GeForce RTX 50 series, while AMD is likely to disclose its Radeon RX 8000 series. If accurate, these launches could strategically correlate with the new HDMI standard, showcasing the enhanced features of HDMI 2.2.

The current HDMI standard, HDMI 2.1, was launched in 2017 and supports bandwidth of up to 48Gbps, 10K resolution, and refresh rates of up to 120Hz at 4K. HDMI 2.2 is anticipated to offer notable advancements over these impressive specifications.

Mashable will be present at CES to cover the HDMI 2.2 announcement and other significant tech news. Stay tuned for updates!
