This stick also supports the latest HDMI 2.1 standard. The HDMI 2.1 spec leverages Dynamic HDR which optimizes displayed video on a scene-by-scene or even a frame-by-frame basis, increased bandwidth up to 48Gbps, higher resolutions up to 10K at 120 FPS, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) which less lag and stutter making it great for gaming.
