The HDMI 2.2 specification has been officially released, but beware manufacturers' spec sheets
It's official: the HDMI 2.2 specification has been published, and that means manufacturers can start building it into their products. You won't see it immediately - there's a fair lag between a new spec being published and the appropriate hardware making it into production - but it promises some big improvements and some minor annoyances.
The good news first: provided you have an Ultra96 cable, you'll be able to take advantage of bandwidth of 96Gbps compared to HDMI 2.1b's 48Gbps.
