At the recent Computex event, the HDMI Forum is reported to have demonstrated the use of variable refresh rates (VRR) using an XBox One X and exploiting the VRR features in HDMI V2.1 and on a Samsung QLED TV. Some Samsung TVs this year will support VRR technology at up to 120Hz. (Samsung Launches FreeSync Support for Select 2018 TVs)
