Many PS5 owners unknowingly plug their console into a standard HDMI port instead of the HDMI 2.1-capable port on their TV, missing out on key features. Only specific ports on modern TVs support HDMI 2.1, which enables 4K at 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). Switching to the correct port reduces input lag, eliminates screen tearing, and delivers smoother gameplay — often the single biggest improvement a PS5 owner can make without spending any money.
