I'm sure that's exactly the right reason. It actually gives an accurate impression because most people don't intuitively understand the ratio of linear pixel density to pixel size.
I'm surprised we don't yet rate screens in megapixels and square inches. Diagonal measurements confuse people for very similar reasons. 65" doesn't sound ~40% larger than 55" but that's the actual relative size by area.

We don't use megapixel because how would you brag about your TV having 8Megapixels when smartphone camera has 12 or more ?
Square inches probably sound intimidating to most people and bring dreadful memories of math lessons

Quick question: If I'm logged into my own account and playing a game or accessing DLC of my brother's account on my PS4 (my PS4 is set as my brother's primary PS4), can he at the same time, when logged into his own account on his PS4, also access and play his DLC and PSN games?
Meaning us two playing the downloadable stuff from his account at the same time.

Yup! If I read that right!
I replaced my old beeping PS4 with a Pro today. I have backed up all my save games, thought I was set.
Then I went to transfer all my saves over to my new system, and ran into a problem.
You can only transfer saves(either from the cloud or a USB) if the game it is for is installed.
Of course, if you can't download the game anymore (hello, FFXV Platinum demo!), you're outta luck.
Edit: Or can I? Hmm, there seems to be no indication if something is in a queue to download or not.

You could try an HDMI-splitter to not lose out on hdmi to the reciever perhaps. Other than that optical is the way.

Grabbing a Pro this Suj so I need some help guys.
What is the best Black Friday deal for a 4K HDR TV for a PS4 Pro?
Trying to help my dad out since he wants to buy one and he said I can use it when we get it (as long as he gets to play it lol).
Price range is under $650 ish and he wants a 55"+. Neither of us have any idea what TVs are considered best for gaming. We know what are good TVs for movies and TV but we don't have a clue for gaming. Plus I saw issues with certain TVs not working right with the Pro.
We were looking at the 55" Samsung one at BJs for $600 or the combo of the Sony 55" + a Pro for $1000 (I would chip in $400 for the PS4.

A splitter won't work. You need a switch.

Which model is the Samsung at BJ's? They've got some great input lag in HDR mode compared to the competition and, if I remember correctly, the Sony that's bundled has some significant lag in HDR games.

How would that work? HDMI cable from PS4 Pro to switch, 2 outputs from switch, 1 to TV and 1 to the receiver? Even if that can be done I'm assuming it needs to be a 4K/HDR supporting switch? I'll do some research but I can't see it being cheap. I do have an optical cable lying around somewhere so as things stand going optical won't cost me anything extra.

Legit question: What good would your saves do if you don't have the game installed? Why do you want them first?
Not saying that Sony shouldn't offer the capability but I'm wondering why this is a problem.

For HDR gaming you want at least
Sony X800D (not sure if 55" is sold in America)
Samsung KS series
Panasonic DX750
Those are cheapest ones that I know which will support wide gamut (10 bit color), HDR of 400+ nits and still have solid input lag
It probably will be impossible with 650$ budget unless you compromise on size or increase it a bit

How much more would it cost to get the "proper" one then?
And is the input lag really that noticeable?
Because I'd prefer to just download them all so I have them on the system. I'm all digital, its gonna take me days to download all my games, and even then, I won't be able to install all of them and have them on the hard drive at once because its well over 1TB.

Still no update of the PS4Pro situation in reference to World of Final Fantasy. Been nearly a week and square has stayed silent ;(
wait, that's weird. I could've sworn I've downloaded my sfv save and definitely haven't installed the game on the pro yet. I'll check later tonight to confirm.

Then why would you want to waste space on save games for games you haven't installed?
Will your PS4 not check for cloud saves whenever you decide to download and play a game.
Think it's automatic.

Ok so I successfully transferred my content from my OG ps4 to my ps4 pro, whats next?
Do I have to deactive my OG ps4, it asked me if I wanted to make my ps4 pro my primary so not sure.
Also, do I have to do anything on my OG ps4 before I sell it?

uh 1080p (roughly) is known as 2k in the film industry. 2k was the resolution they were shooting at in 2002
and that's where the 4k got it's name from too.
It's kinda just TVs now switching to go by the camera resolution, vs 2160p etc
If your TV supports HDMI Audio Return Channel that would probably be preferable to optical.
You go directly to your TV from your PS4 and then one of your TV's other HDMI ports acts as an audio out.

Yep
yeah
Cool, just making sure something wasn't wrong with mines. I won't start it up until another week and a half. Ordering a 1tb ssd on BF and will wait to install it prior to trying it. Till then the good ol ps4 will suffice.

How are people able to handle this? Meanwhile I'm mad when I don't receive games or consoles a day early, haha.

Pretty sure the account you're trying to remote play with has to be set as primary on the console. So if it's working with the OG, then that has it set as primary and not the Pro.

They are one and the same.
Great, thanks. Wanted to get everything ready when my new ssd comes in.

Just remember to grab the 800ish mb one from the PlayStation website. That's the one for installing on new drives.

I wouldn't . You would be locking or almost locking the vents where it will stand.

Is the system registration page borked? I can't seem to register the console with the link on their site.

Twitter don't like storing very high res images so they automatically reformat them.
The Witness Pro patch seems great. 1080p w/ 4AA has much less aliasing. The clarity is greatly increased, going from 900p to 1080p, There is minor shimmering around the shorelines, a few far away buildings, and a few other objects with large contrast differences. Feels very smooth, too. There were two obvious locations, with slowdown (and tearing); both of these appear to have been fixed up. These two areas plagued me on PC, also, and would only go away with SLI, which was not properly supported. So far, great job by Thekla (never knew their company's name).
Seems like even PSN msg.
Tried Facebook and uploaded 4K screenshot there.
Edit: nvm, it became 2048x1152. :/
I want to share 4K pictures! T_T
