Whilst you do need HDMI 2.1 to deliver 4K HDR 120Hz, it is possible to deliver VRR and eARC via HDMI 2.0.
Steve, outside of gaming, is there any content that needs 4K HDR 120Hz?

Well, speaking for myself, in descending order of importance:What 'improvements' would've made you hold on and get a 2018 model?
Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens....Well, speaking for myself, in descending order of importance:
1) I'll never buy a high-end TV that isn't 3D-enabled.
2) The ability to have perfect blacks without compromising near-black performance.
3) Good consistency of colour and brightness across the whole screen.
4) The ability to hit 1000 nits brightness without compromising colour saturation at high luminance levels.
5) Support for both DV and HDR10+.
6) eARC.
7) The ability to be calibrated to have deltaE < 2 for every point in the colour space; preferably, the ability for the TV to calibrate itself to that level, rather than requiring the services of a calibrator.
8) The ability to do all of the above, with black-frame-insertion.
9) The ability to watch standard definition material in a window rather than full-screen.
10) The ability to deinterlace 60Hz DVDs to 120Hz.
11) A bright enough display that 3D HDR becomes a viable thing.
12) Reliable 60Hz->24Hz conversion at all resolutions.
Not yet but there are plans to use it for broadcasting, especially with sports where it makes a huge difference.Steve, outside of gaming, is there any content that needs 4K HDR 120Hz?

I have an LG G6 which should last me a few years yet. After that dies it'll be low-end stuff.So, you won't be buying any high-end (or any level, for that matter) television that's new to the market from now on, until the next incarnation of 3D in about 30 years' time?
I don't know which television you have, but maybe better grab a 3D-capable Sony ZD9 while you still can!
The Samsung 2018 TVs will support VRR but I'm sure other manufacturers will also support it.Have any TV manufacturers delivered that? Would be huge for me. As someone who games on a 165Hz GSync monitor I just can't do 60Hz anymore, too choppy.
However I was hoping for a filtration of the high end technologies into smaller form factors such as the 49" and 43" models. I'd even quite like to see a new model introduced between the two screen sizes. I accept that there have been arguments about the benefits of the technology of these sizes but believe the consumer should still have the choice.
Hmmm that Sony x900f 85"sounds interesting. I wonder how much?
