We may not be prepared to consume content in 8K resolution, but the next generation consoles are just around the corner, and with them, the new figure of super ultra-resolution will reach millions of homes around the world. This will also mean having an 8K TV, but what about the AV receivers?
Denon 8K AV Receivers
Denon is a well-known manufacturer in the world of AV receivers, so it was expected that in the race for 8K it would be one of the big players. The brand has presented its new line of receivers with 8K support at 60 images per second, but also has a long list of specifications that make them fantastic options to keep your home cinema up to date.
One of the advantages focuses on the support of HDMI 2.1, which allows you to enjoy ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and video modes 4K at 120 images per second with Quick Frame Transport to reduce input lag.
Perfect for Xbox Series X and PS5
As you can imagine, all these features go like a glove for the new Microsoft and Sony consoles, since they will allow images to be taken to screens and projectors without any type of loss or limitation. Thus, for example, they will allow you to enjoy games in 4K at 120 screens per second in all those games that allow it.
luxury benefits
This new X-Series range also offers Quick Media Change (QMS) technology that will take care of quickly changing the source without getting black screens that make us wait (something inconceivable if we take into account the speed with which we will get used to PS5 y Xbox Series X). They also include the possibility of voice control through the assistants of Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri and Josh.ai, and a new Bluetooth audio function with which you can pass any audio source to wireless headphones. Although remember that you can also connect your bluetooth headset to the console as we already explained in another article.
