Sony newest video game console PlayStation 5 features an HDMI 2.1 Connection that allows next-gen consoles to support higher frame rates up to 120 frames per second (fps) which is far higher than the usual 60 fps and 30 fps frame rates seen on current gen hardware.

What advantage you get with an HDMI 2.1 connection port? HDMI 2.1 connection has the advantage of bandwidth, it can transfer more data at once. It’s used for more higer resolution (8k videos) or more frames at the same resolution, as well as greater color depth. The increased bandwidth and refresh rate of HDMI 2.1 connection means technically that resolutions up to 10k are possible.

How to fix a PlayStation 5 HDMI port, the HDMI port is the most used port in any video game console, and you would think since its the most use port it would be tough built, wrong!

There’s always two sides to every story one side says its a poor manufacture design flaw and poor quality parts the other side will say its just everyday wear and tear. Lets’ go over why I think the PS5 HDMI port breaks.

1. Constantly plugging and unplugging the HDMI cable from the PlayStation.
2. Yanking the HDMI cable out.
3. Shoving the HDMI cable in too far or too aggressive.
4. The console itself falling over.

1. Always use high quality HDMI cables.
2. Limit the plugging and unplugging of the HDMI cable.
