While you can get the most out of your next-generation console with an HDMI 2.1 connection, it’s not necessary. As long as your monitor has an HDMI port, you can connect them. You’ll just be limited in the resolutions and refresh rates you can achieve. An HDMI 2.0 port, which you’ll find on most gaming monitors, will still allow for that crisp UHD resolution. You’ll just be limited to a 60Hz refresh rate.
