Sony's first 8K sets made you choose. Only HDMI 4 is HDMI 2.1 — it is the one port that does 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz — and HDMI 1 to 3 are HDMI 2.0b. eARC lives on HDMI 3, so an 8K source and a soundbar cannot share the good port. Both sizes are identical here; the difference is the panel and what it takes to get it into the room.
Sony’s 2019 8K Master Series LED with Backlight Master Drive, in 85 and 98 inches. A single HDMI 2.1 input for 8K@60Hz.

Notes & Compatibility
Only HDMI 4 is HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz); HDMI 1 to 3 are HDMI 2.0b. HDMI 3 has eARC — it is not the 2.1 port. This is an early HDMI 2.1 implementation; expect handshake quirks with newer sources. Acoustic Multi-Audio with four front-facing speakers.
