Has anyone else had any problems with LG TV's when using HDR? I just got myself a LG 58UH635V (US model is UH6350 as far as I know). When I turn on HDR in Uncharted, I got a pinkish/whitish screen that wouldn't go away unless I rebooted my PS4 Pro. After the restart, I tried again and the Uncharted worked, HDR was on and I was able to turn it off and turn on, but when I closed down Uncharted, the same screen appeared.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm eyeballing a 4k tv since I got a PS4 Pro. Was wondering if anyone had this tv model, and if it was good for 4k/hdr gaming on the PS4. How's the picture quality for games and such? I looked at it in the store, but they never have games on that thing, so I feel it's hard to get an idea how it'd look for them.

Well I've had my second Pro now for just over a week and this one is faulty also. First one went back because it randomly kept shutting itself off and then upon restarting kept telling me I hadn't shut it down properly (happened about once an hour or so) and the second one is now giving me this all over the screen. So annoyed!

Damn, skeletons dude.
Yeah, that's just bad luck. Did you replace the power cable after getting the replacement, or did you keep the one you had?

I replaced the whole lot I was given an entirely new PS4 Pro. Thing is, my first one did this too before it started to auto shutdown on me, so I fear the second one is headed the same way as the first.
Same, happened to me with launch model too.Power lost and system software error CE-36329-3. I guess there's something wrong with the system software, nothing about the hardware.
It happened twice to me, once every few months, always when using the web browser, never while using games.
Did you ever try a full install?
Yes, reinstalled system software via safe mode, tried restore default settings. It worked for months then it happened again some time ago. Going good since then, no issues.
I'm just going to keep it as it is (not in warranty anymore), as long as it's not happening too much, waiting for that Pro upgrade.
Ok, thanks for the link.

GAF momentarily crashed and this message didn't bump the thread, did it even post it? I can see it but "Last post" didn't update.

So I just got a PS4Pro. My launch PS4's disc drive was dying and I got $150 free from BestBuy for getting a new phone so I decided what the hell and traded in my PS4 for $120 and got a Pro.
Thing is, I'm still rocking a 720p (768p technically) TV that accepts and downscales 1080p signals. So what games have a lot of improvements for non-4K sets? I heard that Battlefield 1 runs at a fairly solid 60fps at 1080p on the Pro, the shitty framerate was one of the biggest reasons I passed on the game. Any others?

The ones I've played and can say looked and ran really well: Titanfall 2, Ratchet & Clank (this one is gorgeous), Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, The Last Guardian (it runs really smooth... mostly), Final Fantasy XV. Haven't played The Last of Us or Uncharted 4 because I already did a lot of times on OG PS4 and want to save another playthrough for when I get a 4K TV.

720p? Come on, man. That's just wrong.

If those Sony 1080p HDR sets that they showed off at CES are a good price and good for games I'll upgrade to one of those, but for now I'm happy with it.
Damn it, mine did that about a month ago.... and then it just stopped and it hasn't done it since... I didn't think much about it but now you've got me worried :\
is this shit with Spotify randomly stopping in the middle of a track and then repeating it confined to the Pro or is it something thats been happening to all PS4s?
I've had my pro for like 3 weeks now and never remember encountering this with my OG. I've deleted and reinstalled the app too and it still happens. Shits annoying.

Base model is generally louder.
1080p recording is a Pro feature.

I don't have a PS4 just yet and I'm considering buying this one. Can you still play PS4 Pro on regular HDTV? Is 4K tv absolutely necessary? I'm asking this because the clerk at a nearby game store seems to think that unless you have a 4K tv, you literally can't play anything.

You can use a Pro with a regular HDTV just fine.
Oh dear... He's completely wrong. I own the PS4 Pro and a 1080p TV and the console works perfectly fine for me and everyone else with a regular HDTV.
A 4K image will in 90% of all games be downsampled to 1080p on your screen, resulting in a cleaner and clearer image, or it will simply output a 1080p signal if an HDTV is detected on your end (The Last Guardian, The Last of Us). Luckily that's not the norm however.

I'm using Spotify a lot on the pro and never had this problem? I'm using Spotify premium btw.
Edit: but I remember on the OG ps4 about a year ago Spotify was bugged and the error that you describe happened pretty often. Thankfully it got fixed
Well shit.
He's full of shit.
Though I personally don't think the upgrade is worth it in the few games I've tried.
Supersampling works as an Anti-aliasing method.
I've had this problem with a Spotify (premium) account on Timmy pro.
I've only tried Spotify once and it stopped during tracks quite regularly. Very annoying.

Does it only happen on the home screen or in games as well? If so have you tried changing themes to something standard or non-dynamic? I used to get something similar on some animated themes (LBP for example) and it was fixed in a firmware update.
Got home, deleted Tomb Raider installed data and patches etc, tried playing for a while and after about 15 minutes I'm greeted by you can see here:
(apologies if the image link is wrong, first time doing it)
As I said, I played a fair bit of Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank and World of Final Fantasy with no issue. Any thoughts?
This happen to me today on Rise Of Tomb Raider
Mine does it very occasionally for like a second or two then will be fine for ages. Then do it again. Is very random I should return it but I don't really wanna back up all my 1.6tb of stuff.

Are there any cool hidden extras to the Pro beyond games? I did see that it will record in 1080p and take 4K screenshots. Anything else?

If you're talking about the original PS4 then maybe. The PS4 Slim is quieter than the Pro.
1080p Remoteplay. I play on the PC in the next room and it's flawless.

My launch PS4 was a fucking lawnmower even on Netflix, the Pro is silent in comparison.
That's awesome. I use PC RemotePlay occasionally.

SATA III, 5ghz wi-fi, rear USB port, and an extra GB of RAM dedicated for OS use.
It also might have a bigger HD if you're coming from a 512GB model.
Oh, and for games that haven't been patched for the Pro, it's really, really quiet.

Are there load time comparisons out for the various types of HDDs in the Pro?
Theonik

Digital Foundry did it with the Pro when it came out.
Some patched games like Uncharted have huge boosts in loading times owing to the CPU and HDD bumps.
Of note, game recording is disabled during 1080p remoteplay. I don't particularly care, but others might.

Can you drop a link to this? I tried doing a google search but found no mention of these TVs
Something I noticed:
If I'm playing Dishonored 2 or Watchdogs 2 and then press the home button to go to the menu, this always causes the fans to ramp up speed once a second to the highest speed then the fans just blow like crazy until I hit the home button to go back to the game.
Anyone else notice this?

Just exchanged my coil whining PS4 Pro for another one. Hope I have better luck this time.

What is coil whining and how can you tell if you have it?

It's a high pitch generated by vibration in computer components. This is most common when component are stressed, but it can also occur when running idle but this is less common. If you have coil whine you'll have probably already noticed it even without knowing what it is.
