    The "V3" naming leads many console buyers to expect HDMI 2.1 (needed for real 4K@120Hz/FRL) — the ports are plain HDMI 2.0, limiting resolutions and high-speed transfer features. A defective EDID response block, when queried by legacy GPUs or complex hub-type docks, gets stuck locked at Full HD (1920x1080), blocking access to native QHD. Early-batch units also shipped with luminance firmware-locked to a dim 200 nits, fixable only by an obfuscated firmware update.
