Flatpanels HD interview with HDMI Forum about 2.1 features addable via firmware

Quote
When FlatpanelsHD met HDMI Forum’s CEO Rob Tobias and Marketing Director Brad Bramy at CES 2018, the team highlighted VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), QMS (Quick Media Switching) and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) as examples of features that can be added via a firmware update.
As a reminder, these are the official descriptions for VRR, QMS and eARC.

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) reduces or eliminates lag, stutter and frame tearing for more fluid and better detailed gameplay.
Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and video eliminates the delay that can result in blank screens before content is displayed.
eARC simplifies connectivity, provides greater ease of use and supports the most advanced audio formats and highest audio quality. It supports objects-based audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
