I don't know. If it is the fan, then it shouldn't stop directly when you enter the menu?

Can someone tell me how much of a selling point is hdr for the pro. Got a old 4Ktv with mediocre hdr so curious if i will get any benefit committing to a pro right now.

Is Skyrim running ok on Pro? I heard it runs worse on Pro than standard and i was looking forward to picking it up today. If it runs fine ill pick it up around 2:00 and get back at you.
Automatic bud.
Changed hdmi cable, power cable taken out and put back in again, and it crashed again, but no checkerboard this time, just error code CE-34878-0. That happened the first time it crashed yesterday, but I had the checkerboard thing the other 3 times.
No other games have crashed at all. I played a good 2 hours of WOFF, 30 minutes at least of Uncharted 4 and 30 or so minutes of Ratchet and Clank. Tomb Raider seems to crash pretty quickly.

Can anyone recommend the best way to trade up from a launch PS4 to the Pro in the UK?

Sorry if this has been asked - but is there a list of HDR enabled games? All I can find is 4K enabled lists

-Stupid question, Sorry if this has been asked - can I use the HDMI cable from the box on a 1080p tv or is the cable for 4k tvs only?

That cable is fine for 1080p.
I feel like we need one list for everything and what options there are.

Thanks to those of you who shared screenshots.
Picking mine up tomorrow and look forward to trying the new 1080p modes with downsampled higher resolution on my 112" proctor with HW40ES. I'm hoping to see a big difference on that size screen.

See:
Should be added to the Native 4k thread or made a new one.

No, it added performance optimizations which is why it looks and runs better but on their twitter as of November 10th (yesterday):
But then the account also tweeted this.

Probably hdmi uhd color enable that?
Love this console so far. A couple little physical things that I like over the OG PS4 is the rounded corners, fully matte outer plastic shell, lack of wobble when pressing it on one side, and superior power and eject buttons. You no longer need a needle to use them.
New controller is nice too.

Guys got a New 4K tv and the Pro , I plugged in the HDMI from the ps4 to HMDI 2 on the tv , I got the sound but no screen Rs all black help
Lots of info about this. Turn off PS4, hold power for 7 second to boot into Safe mode, change HDCP version to 1.4

Great TV. I dont anticipate the hdr looking as great as it would on newer, more expensive tvs, but pretty happy with the purchase. Very little calibration needed, too.

I have a KS8000 and it defaulted to YUV. Didn't Digital Foundry say that's actually preferable to RGB or something? Should I keep it at YUV?
Saw a post earlier (not sure if here or on reddit) that if you want HDR you pretty much have to use YUV. There is not enough bandwidth over HDMI to support 4K/HDR/RGB.
This isn't coming from experience though. I don't yet have a 4K TV. I picked up the Pro yesterday for PSVR improvements w/ supersampling on 1080p as a bonus.

Playing Ratchet and Clank on my 1080p TV and holy shit.
How did it look like before? It's my first time playing and I understand when people say it looks like a Pixar movie.

Yeah I think this seems to be the issue for me too. I played it just now in Enhanced Visuals mode and it played fine, longer than it has yet. It's super annoying because the 4k mode looks so good on my 1080p screen. Ive tweeted Square Enix Europe and will report back if I hear anything.
Also some guy on the Square Enix forums is reporting the same: 4k mode, 1080p screen and crashes.

I'm doing the game deal as seems like best value. Trade in ps4 and 5 games to get a pro half price. Then from what I understand the games trade in value also comes off of that.
So my TV from 2010 supports that 120Hz Motionflow thing that makes everything look super smooth.
With my regular PS4, it's turned off and things look normal.
But with my Pro, it seems like 120Hz is turned on and everything looks too smooth.
Like I'm playing Destiny and it looks like it's 60fps even though I know the game is 30fps.
Anyone else experiencing that?

Your PS4 defaulted to YUV? I have the same set and am curious how to check this
RGB is uncompressed (thus better) BUT is not possible in combination with HDR10 due to HDR10 having 10 bit per channel instead of 8. The bandwith of the current HDMI standard is not sufficient enough for 10 Bit RGB. Only 4:2:0 and 10 Bit.
I have a Samsung as well. You have to enable UHD color for the HDMI input in order to enable RGB (without HDR10).

Sometimes if you press options while selecting a game (on the crossbar on your ps4/ Pro) you can check the updates

My first time playing as well! I agree that the Pro makes Ratchet and Clank look absolutely fantabulous on my 1080P display.
From your question I went ahead and looked up this high quality direct feed 1080P video at Gamersyde of the OG PS4 version. Wow, what a difference. We can clearly see that the image is softer, and fuzzier overall. Railings and rock formations have stair-stepping aliasing, and things like the fences have that distracting shimmer to them.
Well done, Insomniac (and the PS4 Pro mechanical wizards)!

Yea, go to settings on the dashboard and then sound/video or something. I believe in there it's under advanced settings.
Oh, but the KS8000 is HDR10 though isn't it? So I can't do anything? In any case the picture quality is still incredible.

You sure it's not the TV? My old plasma TV used to do that a bit on screens that were very bright.

Was there no PlayStation store coupon in the box this time?

Tv's save different settings per input. You just need to turn it off.
Ah, got ya. I believe mine is set to 'automatic' which I believe switches automatically. (Uses RGB on the dashboard and non HDR games and switched to YUV when an HDR game is being played.)

I have a Sony Bravia ex5. I keep getting "unsupported Signal. Please check the device output." Then I tried to boot in safe mode and I still get a black screen. Ugh.
I'm using the same input though...I didn't even unplug the HDMI cable from the TV.
Do you have PSVR plugged in? It will default to YUV if so. My JS9000 defaults to RGB with PSVR unplugged.

I sold mine on gumtree you can get a pretty decent price selling direct to someone. A bit more hassle though.

The ethernet system transfer was surprisingly smooth, no issues at all.
And I can confirm that if your primary console is some other PS4 in your house (for game sharing), you can do the transfer from the non-primary to the pro, choose not to activate the pro, and it works exactly as it should.

After a 10 hour wait for my OG PS4 backup to restore, I could finally start playing - I love it. Almost silent when a disc isn't inserted, and Ratchet & Clank looks absolutely incredible even at 1080p.
I had one worrying moment when starting Infamous Second Son, where it appeared the Pro tried to change video output on my TV for some reason - the screen went black and then said something along the lines of "Unsupported video source" or similar.
I thought no problem, I'll just restart, but the most worrying thing was the console would do nothing in this state. It was on, but the controller stopped responding, and pressing the power button on the Pro did nothing. Pressing eject made a beeping noise but didn't eject the disc. The controller also wouldn't connect via USB cable and just kept flashing as it does when it can't find the correct system to pair with.
In the end I had to power the console off at the wall, which I hate doing for obvious reasons, but there was no other way to restart it. Switched it back on, it checked the drive and all seems fine now, including Infamous.
Kinda worrying though. Hopefully just a one-off bug of some sort which won't happen again.
