insomniac used something called temporal injection for ratchet and clank. Is this there own tech? I've never heard of it.

Varies by game - In Deus Ex a prompt comes up telling you your TV supports HDR and giving you the option to toggle it on or off. There are games like Tomb Raider with multiple configurations of Pro enhancements. However, most of the games I've tried are completely passive. With Dishonored 2 I couldn't even tell you what' it's doing differently, if anything, on Pro.
Which PSVR games? I have almost all of them except Robinson (due to bad reviews). I haven't tried any in Pro mode yet, however.

I have an LG OLED (65G6P ) and just started trying to play some games on the new PS4 Pro and I have been experiencing lots of disconnect and reconnects of the video signal. I have tried connecting directly to the TV and going through my Denon (x6200W) receiver both of which support 4k HDR (HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 support) but I keep getting connect and reconnects. Anyone else experience this? (I have tried both with the supplied HDMI cable with the PS4 pro and with a Blue Jeans certified HDMI Premium High Speed cable and getting the issue. This is very annoying and renders games virtually unplayable.
I have tried both a PS4 slim (and my original PS4 launch model) in the same setup without any of these issues. Anyone else have a similar setup and not having any trouble (indicating my PS4 pro might be defective) or I am hoping that others are having this issue as well and this is just a software issue with bad HDMI negotiating going on with the PS4 Pro and will be quickly fixed with a System update.
(Note System information indicates display supports 3840 x 2160 with 2k/4k HDR , HDCP 2.2 support)

The Pro is such a beautifully engineered device, it's a shame developers are doing such a piss poor job of using it so far.
Particularly for those with 1080p screens, in the case of games like Skyrim, what is the point of downsampling from 4K? Why not downsample from 1800p and turn some settings up so it's more of a like for like with PC? Such a massive waste of the consoles power that could be better spent improving the IQ in a much more noticeable way.

I'm having the same issue mate and we're not alone. There are one or two articles about it.
http://gametransfers.com/ps4-pro-how-to-fix-the-black-screen/
I had seen somewhere else that it could be the deep colour setting. I had manually put this on after a friend recommended it but I think I'll switch it off and see what happens.
This is absurd for what is marketed as a premium product.
Agreed. I was pretty disappointed.
It's the new AA and motion blur IMO. Was playing before and after the recent patch that changed the AA and motion blur. (normal PS4)
Area X in Rez is the showcase game for me for both PSVR and Pro.

i haven't experienced this at all. And most who've posted in the Rachet thread seemingly haven't been having problems either, other than those complaining it's not 60fps. Or complaining about subjective stuff like their motion blur which plenty of people like.
Absurd seems a bit much when a lot of people seem to be liking how it's performing.

Been playing some Knack last night on high framerate mode, but I noticed a lot of micro stuttering in some area's. The framerate also doesn't seem very consistent. Kinda disappointing.
I'm downloading it now, but from what I hear - it hasn't actually been patched for the Pro yet, is that true ?
Well my PS4 Pro turned up on Thursday. Drive is making a clicking noise and won't take discs. Tried everything.
Amazon ran out of stock and now says a replacement won't be available until next week. Really gutted.
I tried to see if it was an eject disc problem (even though there's no disc in there). However, I can't find the force eject on the PS4 pro, where is it?

Also to note - for whatever reason, games actually look much better running on HDR mode on an 8-bit panel then they do on the base PS4 running with it on. I had my base connected to my LG screen which would display games way too dark, but when I connected my Pro to do some gaming in the other room, it looked beautiful. It actually wasn't until half an hour or so in that I'd realised I hadn't turned HDR off. Ofcourse it doesn't compare to a 10-bit panel, but it did look better then HDR toggled off, I tested this with Ratchet & Clank, The Last of Us Remastered and Uncharted 4.
Benefits of HDMI 2.0 ?

Paragon is the biggest, most drastic change, then I would play Ratchet and Clank for the amazing super-sampling followed by Battlefield 1 to play one of the best looking games ever made @a near 60fps.

I have the 65C6P and not having any trouble so far, although I've only played maybe 2 hours.

I'm pretty sure it has, because it gave me options for high framerate mode and high def (which is presumably supersampled) mode.

Is Fallout 4 on PS4 patched up? I ended up eventually grabbing the game on PC again, but I did have the season pass on PS4 and I never got around to playing the story based DLCs.
Haven't seen many reports on PS4 Pro performance for Fallout, but know it was one of the game that was promising to update. It's not exactly a visually great game, even on PC, but I still am wondering if it visually polishes up enough to maybe revisit DLC here in the near future.

No ETA yet unfortunately.

Oh I do have my TV calibrated with a disc I used. No worries there.
I just wanted to know what your TV and settings were as I'm curious how you're praising Infamous First Light and not think it looks dark.

It's an old 2nd party game so that makes the things problematic, but also Order1886 is a very carefully visually crafted game, adding HDR would probably mess up the the colors and feel of the enviroments the devs intended to make.
In following years we will get games that are made with HDR in mind from the start.

I think it is a shame they didn't make the Pro backwards compatible with PS3 games. I am really on the fence about buying a Pro or getting an Xbox One and the allure of being able to play a bunch of 360 games looks pretty good :/

You didn't accidentally press the power button while unplugging the USB cable? Seems like an easy thing to do.
EDIT: Oh, you unplugged it from the controller? Never mind then.

My pro has bad coil while whenever I play a game. Its the worst on MWRemasterd. Anyone else having this issue?
As far as I'm aware TV calibration discs such as Disney WOW: World of Wonder, Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics and the like have no HDR content to calibrate they only calibrate for HD sets but I could be wrong though. So you might have your tv calibrated perfectly for movies and normal SD games but HDR is a completely different animal.
But what you definitely need to do on all HDR sets is ramp up your backlight to 100%. But like I said before there is absolutely no point in me giving you my settings as each tv is different even TVs by the same manufacturer are different let alone by other manufacturers.

Yeah, nothing works. I tried port 1, port 2. Safe mode. HDCP off, HDCP on auto, HDCP on 1.4. Different HDMI cables.
This is my monitors official website:
http://www.samsung.com/us/computing...-with-high-glossy-black-finish-lu28e590ds-za/
It even says : You can connect multiple Ultra HD devices, like PCs and gaming consoles, to the UE590. There are two HDMI inputs as well as one Display Port input on the back panel. Enjoy upgraded HDMI support with an upgraded HDMI (v2.0) that supports UHD resolutions at a 60Hz refresh rate, so 4K content plays smoothly without delay.
Could it be the PS4 Pro's fault? That for some reason it's assuming a TV can't do 4k when it can?
I mean, ultimately I was always planning on getting an HDR set. So I could use this TV for my PC and get a Sony XBR800D for the Pro. But still, it pisses me off that I can't figure out what's wrong.

Im thinking about returning the ps pro, its so much louder like my OG PS4. I just put the disc in and am still in the ps menu and its so loud like a fan. i started my og ps4 and its so much quieter..bad job sony
Is it maybe a broken PS4 Pro or are other people experiencing the same extreme loud fan noise?

The 4k output is passive. Regardless if you have a 4k tv or a 1080p tv (supersampling).
Some games have distinct modes. Like instead of 4k, you can do 1080p at 60 fps. This of course can be chosen in the game's video option settings.
Mines a lot quieter than my OG ps4. But I think it's a lottery to be honest. If I were you I'd exchange it.

Yup. I don't get it. Should I factory restore my PS4 Pro. Maybe it's because did a hardrive transfer from my base PS4 to the Pro.

Yea...playing the Last of Us and my Pro's fan is certainly audible. I'm not sure I'd define it is as loud but it's NOT quiet. Damn that's disappointing. Why can't they get this right? I've read it's because of the internal PSU. I'd take a power brick over this any day though just so the thing could be quiet.
Seems pretty much a persistent case with all PS4 models.
My OG PS4 is kinda loud, but far way quieter than those hair dryes I keep seeing on Youtube. I expect the PRO to be the same, some will be more noisy than others.

My pro's fan is super loud. And it keeps losing the connection to the tv. I thought it might be a dodgy HDMI cable so I tried a different one, but it keeps doing, and I have to keep taking it out and plugging it back.
It did the same on OG Ps4 if you push the engine, beat the game get all weapons and start the show on Demanding scenes it will it 20s.
Also people still don't use phones these days? Damn I rather not play video games than play without phones. So console can be loud af I don't care.

It is a shame, because I would have bought the Pro in a heartbeat if they did. I feel the backwards compatibility feature on the Xbox One is helping their sales a lot.

It's not the product, it's on the developers to make sure the games look AND run well. Both BF1 and RotTR are fucking awesome on Pro and way better than their PS4 counterparts in both departments. Blame Insomniac if the game runs like shit.
