Hello madnonsense, Thank you so much for your inquiry. If you are referring to the HDMI 2.1 features like the 4K 120, ALLM, and VRR ( unfortunately, the X80J doesn't support these functions. The support for HDMI 2.1 via HDMI inputs 3 & 4 is currently available to our 2021 TV models X85J and up (4K 120/ALLM available at launch, VRR will be coming via a future firmware update). However, if you are pertaining to HDCP 2.2, the X80J supports HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 2.3 protocol on all HDMI input ports.
