It does at 60 Hz, not at 120 Hz.

Yeah but i thought 12bit is monopolised by Dolby Vision which the PS5 does not support (for games).

Is Dolby Vision 12-Bit 120Hz actually rendered/authored in 4:4:4? I'm genuinely curious what "content" is available that is actually encoded to require a 48Gbps bitrate directly from the source file or render engine? I work in a huge broadcast hub with the highest-end production equipment, and even our uncompressed 4K 59.94 SDI/2110 is "only" 12Gbps (4x 3G SDI's bonded in 4 quads, or a 12Gbps 2110 stream over 100G fiber).

Not exactly, HDMI can do anything between 8 and 16 bit colour and there are commercial displays from EIZO which will do 12 bit input and can be driven by a computer.
What Dolby Vision does is produce an effective 12 bit signal from the output of a 10 bit codec plus metadata describing contrast hue saturation changes etc.
These formats are only for games consoles.
Even digital cinema your source material is up to 16 bit 4:2:2 with a linear gamma curve if you are in the Sony ecosystem or 12 bit 4:2:2 with a logarithmic gamma curve if you are in the ARRI ecosystem. At DCI 4k resolutions, frame rate depends on application between 24 and 60 FPS.
Delivery for cinema is 12 bit 4:2:2 @ 24fps and home is 10 bit 4:2:0 @ 24fps with possible dynamic metadata to get you to something approximating 12 bit 4:2:0.

Ah OK. I was never a gamer - so not surprised we don't encounter this stuff in the professional broadcast world. We have a 550TB VAST Optane storage array that is guaranteed at 40GB/s reads and 25GB/s writes 24/7, but that is to allow multiple uncompressed 4K streams from the array. 48Gbps for a single video stream seem a little overboard

4:4:4 chroma is essential for computer text usage. It's fairly irrelevant in games or movies.
Chroma Subsampling: 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0
What is Chroma Subsampling and where is this visible? Chroma subsampling is a type of compression that reduces the color information in a signal in favor of luminance data.

On the subject of audio, I will say that the Silent Hill 2 Remake in Dolby Atmos on PS5 is one of the best surround sound experiences I've ever had...4:4:4 chroma is essential for computer text usage. It's fairly irrelevant in games or movies.

IIRC Silent Hill is a Horror, game, no?
Nothing for me then, as I get terrible nightmares from that stuff. For some reason my brain loves to go rogue with such data. ._.
Unless it's Zombies. Zombies are funny.

Psychological horror, but yeah, if you don't like Resident Evil, then avoid.

Games in general are often the best argument for surround sound, and games with horror elements in particular tend to make good use of the surround channels. Playing games like Resident Evil, Dead Space, Alien: Isolation, even something like Prey is greatly enhanced by the presence of the surrounds. Nevermind some of the best modern music often coming from game soundtracks.

Doom Eternal is a festival of mayhem on Atmos settings. Stalker 2 also has a very nice ambiance.

The game basically has new patches daily, I'd wait a few months before starting

She's just checking out the box. Apparently, when cats evolved in North Africa around 200,000 years ago, there were a lot of cardboard boxes around to hide and play in.

Agreed, but I will say this: Due to the uncertainty of the brands future I'd be too afraid to purchase one if I were in the market for a new one, especially one of the expensive ones. I would never feel comfortable about repairs in the future if needed, especially considering the fact that AVRs aren't the most reliable pieces of audio equipment to begin with.
