Do I need HDMI 2.1 for 120Hz?

Yes, for high resolutions like 4K at 120Hz, you generally need an HDMI 2.1 cable (labeled Ultra High Speed) because it offers the necessary 48Gbps bandwidth, unlike older HDMI 2.0 cables (18Gbps) which limit you to 4K@60Hz or lower frame rates/resolutions. While some lower resolutions (like 1080p or 1440p) at 120Hz might work with older cables, 4K@120Hz requires the bandwidth and features (like VRR) of HDMI 2.1 for smooth performance, especially with modern gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X).

Is it better to put PS5 vertical or horizontal?

You can use your PS5 either vertically or horizontally, as Sony designed it for both, but horizontal placement is generally recommended for better dust management and stability, while vertical works if you have ample space and keep vents clear to avoid potential liquid metal shifting issues or dust clogging. Horizontal placement catches less dust and is less prone to tipping, but vertical placement saves space if airflow isn't restricted.
