Does HDMI-CEC Provide Any Performance Improvements?

Like for example, diminish the amount of processing time by a few ms?

I don't believe it should make any difference. CEC is just a protocol for controlling devices over HDMI. For example, when I turn on my TV, it also turns on my receiver. Nothing about the video or audio signals changes AFAIK.

yeah no, all it does it make your stuff do stupid things "automatically"

[Catzoo]

No, but i can use my TV remote to move into my PS4 dashboard

(most of the time, it will just do stuff you don't want, like sending a power signal to your reciever or TV, sometimes so dumb that trying to power on something will do the opposite)

But when HDMI-CEC is enabled, on my TV it will say "PS TV", or "Playstation 4" on top of the screen, while when HDMI-CEC is disabled it doesn't seem to know that it's a signal coming from a PS TV or a Playstation 4 as nothing is written there.

Wait, hold on, can you control the PS4 with a TV remote that way? HHHHHMMMMmmmmmm...

CEC is a huge headache, it's not worth it bro

Says you, I love it for my TV and receiver. Works great. I suspect for the PS4 (which runs through a HDMI switch into the TV) it might not be so easy, but gonna try anyway.
