Is HDR supposed to look so...washed out? I turned it on in DEMD and it seemed more colorful before.

Have an LG 4KTV (65UF6450) that is HDMI deep color compatible, but not HDR, at least in the current standard. Plugged into HDMI 1 with the included cable, and HDMI deep color enabled on my TV with 2160p YUV420 selected results in an amazing picture with great colors. Switching from 2160p YUV420 to 2160p RGB results in a very washed out, grey image, at least in comparison. Looks far worse although from my reading I would have expected an improvement. Any ideas here?
Seems a couple other users are having similar issues, software bug perhaps?

Are you able to try it on a different router? Can you borrow one from a friend temporarily just to get the transfer done? Have you tried connecting both PS4s to the Internet via Wifi, and then directly connecting the ethernet cable between the 2 consoles?
Or maybe take the 2 consoles to your friend's house and do it there?
No. I can tell because my TV switches into HDR mode, tho. But the PS4 only let me know the first time.
Trade up completed at EB Games in Canada and I got the mysterious $449 base price as well. I traded in one PS4 game and a stack of PS3 games, so maybe that was it.
Looking forward to the SATA3 speeds with my SSD.
I've been playing my PS4 through my 4K monitor anyway, so it'll be nice for the system to take advantage of that now.

I struggled with this a bit when playing with HDR on my set
Here's what I gathered
1. HDR implementation varies from game to game, so the affect on brightness and colour saturation will vary here
2. Your TV will apply picture settings to HDR differently. You may need to play with contrast and black levels (many find dynamic looks good but it can crush blacks) to find something appealing to you. The annoying thing is you may have to manually change the mode back when not playing in HDR
3. Many people's sets are not properly calibrated and use a lot of out of the box post processing enhancement, which means you may be used to oversaturated colours and artificially bright image. HDR increases the colour range but it's actual intention is not to make reds redder, rather it should increase the difference between light and dark and allow for more detail and accuracy

Yea I love people acting like their Pro is more silent than others when they're not even mentioning what it sounds like when popping a game disc in. It's still way better than the OG but it definitely starts gearing up when playing from a disc, I don't care who you are.

I don't think TF2 has HDR.
Why are download speeds on PS4 still so screwed. Takes pausing and resuming repeatedly to get a reasonable speed. On a 250 meg connection with the ps4 pro getting 100% WiFi signal and 149 meg in the speedtest it's absolutely not hitting that speed downloading.
Used to have identical issues at my old place with a 13 meg connection, different router, console etc. Only it was less noticeable on the slower connection but now it's obvious how bugged it is. I remember this was introduced in an update, 2.0 I believe, still never been fixed.

No, not even a 10~15 day PS+ trial
Would have loved to redeem it in-time for the forthcoming discounts on digital goods .. sigh.

Okay so I'm really confused and need some help. In the video options on the system, under Video output Information, its gives me a bunch of info.
Resolution 3840 x 2160 - 60 Hz
Color Format YUV420
HDR on Your TV Only 2K Supported
Your TV might support a higher quality color format and 4K HDR if you change its settings. Check your TVs settings.
HDCP 2.2
I have the Sony XBR49X800D that everyone recommended and is really popular. What do I do to get 4K HDR working on this TV? Which settings? I'm so confused.

Is the 2TB 2.5" Firecuda available anywhere in the US at the moment? Every online retailer I looked at says out of stock.

Try turning HDCP off from the System settings and see if that lets you choose 4K. That's what some people have reported.

Is it hooked up directly to the TV?
Have you tried different inputs on the tv?
Have you checked to see if you have to manually enable full HDR in picture settings? (This is the case on most Samsung's - HDR/UHD colour has to be enabled)
Yup it looks quite nice. Tried it last night

I know, right? I DL'ed Infamous over night so I can replay through it again. I almost want to rebuy a bunch of games just to see the Pro versions.

I haven't tried a different router, that's a good idea. I did try the wifi method but not on a separate network so maybe that's partly responsible. I could take it to the friend who's buying it from me and try to transfer it there...
I was going to wait a while and see how impressions were a few months after launch, but I have the opportunity to p/u a Pro for $336 (tax included)...I have seen quite a few complaints about the system noise, but it does not seem to be consistent. For those with a noticeably "loud" system, has it calmed down since the initial setup, or does it seem to be isolated to certain games? I'd like to jump in, but after having the PS4 leaf blower edition, I am very leary.
Any input would be appreciated.

Firmware up to date? Enhanced hdmi/uhd colour/whatever the sony equivalent is called turned on on the settings/picture settings?

Thanks. I understand it's an enthusiast console but damn Sony is showing no love towards pro consumers.No, not even a 10~15 day PS+ trial

Just got everything set up, just gotta wait for some game to download now, that 5ghz wifi putting in work.

Yep. Looks much cleaner in high res mode
I am going to have to take mine back it looks like. I cannot get it to boot out of rest mode. It will just blink the blue light and never get any further. I have let it sit for 20 minutes, removed all cords besides power, re-initialized it back to default firmware and no matter what it will not boot. Frustrating.

Try switching HDMI ports on your TV, see if that makes a difference.

I ordered one from Newegg yesterday and it's set to be delivered tomorrow. Looks like it's out of stock now, but so far the only place I've seen getting stock has been Newegg. I'd keep my eye on there.
People's perception of the noise from the Pro will vary. I've played infinite warfare all day (disc not digital) and didn't even notice a sound from the machine. I'm sat at a pc desk with the Pro on a lower shelf so not like it's the other side of the room and no sound distracted me at all.
I have the 43 inch x800d. This is from rtings:
To get the sharpest text while using the TV as a PC monitor, change the 'HDMI signal format' to 'Enhanced format' and use the 'Game' or 'Graphics' picture mode. To get there, hit the 'Home' button on the remote, scroll down to 'Settings' then 'External inputs' and 'HDMI signal format'. This is also necessary if you are planning to use an HDR Blu-ray players or an HDR ready game console.
Also, use hdmi 2 or 3. This method allowed 2/4K HDR. Hope this helps

There probably a million people all waking up today and trying to redownload their games to the pro. Id suspect Sony servers are being taxed this weekend.

I'm sorry but I can't believe that there is absolutely no sound coming from your PS4 Pro when playing from disc. The nature of the disc drive in itself is going to create sound no matter what. It may not be very loud, but there is sound when a disc starts spinning, whether you notice it or not.
Do you have PSVR? If so, is the PSVR processing box on (white light)?

I saw a thread awhile ago about transferring data between an old PS4 and a Pro, well I just bought one and can't find the thread so I'm asking here.
I think that video said you can just hook the two up via LAN cable, but is that the requirement or do the two PS4's just have to be on the same network? I can hook one up in the living room via wifi and the Pro in my office via LAN directly to my router, is it possible to transfer that way or do I need both directly connected?
IF it's a pain in the ass I'll just do the cloud upload thing and wipe my old PS4 and download what I need. All I really want to keep is my Rocket League and Street Fighter V data.
