Anyone?
Mhmm, that's what HDCP is for. What TV do you have, LG ? They are said to be working with Sony to fix the issue via a patch.

It's ok, turning hdcp after being in 4K seems to be fine, just couldn't let me select 4K with it enabled

It's plain DDR3 memory attached to the southbridge, not GDDR3.

I wiped the data from my old PS4. Is there anything else I should remember to do to it or my account before selling it?
I had this issue on the Samsung KS8000. I changed the HDMI cord and it fixed my problem

Deactivate all of your accounts as the primary account, sync trophies and upload your saves to online storage.

I love the fact that you can basically go back and forth between base and pro modes in infamous. Really makes you notice the difference.

The Pro is what I imagined the PS4 would be when it came out

Yeah, same here.
But glad i have it now. Sold the PS4 and couldn't be more happy with the Pro.

HDR is great. But there's a lot of potential challenges:
every TV is handling it a bit differently right, now, some do it better than others. Even TVs from the same manufacturer can have wildly different HDR results. High end Sony, Samsung, and LG OLEDs from this current model year do the best job.
Each game may be implementing it differently.
The assets and game probably aren't designed with that full range in mind, thus it's not like there's extra color detail even though you may get more color overall.
The biggest things for me are wider color in general (see Ratchet & Clank), better black/dark detail, and way better highlights. Also you end up getting an overall brighter image while still having the image accurate, which is a nice plus too.
YMMV based on your TV, HDR mode, and calibration of it thereof.
Same here. Sony XBR850C has desaturated colors in HDR compared to "Standard" picture mode.

So true. But I've been more than happy with the OG PS4!!

Haven't tried IW yet but I heard 2160p checkerboard which should be a very nice image.
R&C is definitely demo material!

I wonder how much this would've cost if it came out back in 2013 instead of the base PS4. $599 again?

Anyone tried Netflix yet? It won't let me see the quality of the stream like it used to on OG and PS3. I've got a 4k netflix plan and 50mbps connection...still am not getting 4k let alone a solid 1080.
This is just odd.
This is just odd.
Wouldn't be surprised. It would have been a large die at that manufacturing node and to support the larger clocks of both GPU and CPU on that node there would have been even less chips that met that speed, and cooling and power would also have been more of an issue.
The OG unit hit like 140w while gaming too, imagine that with twice as many CUs and at a higher clock rate. On that process the extra voltage to operate at those speeds would have mandated a much bigger cooler and probably nearer 200+w of power. Considering some were "concerned" about the 310w PSU in the Pro, there is just no way this could have released 3 years ago.

Works for me. You have a sticker before choosing the video. About the quality. Hd or ultra hd 4k
HDR is not supposed to have "more colour". It is meant to give you more accurate representation. If you look at the HDR pics you can see more graduation in colors whereas the non-HDR looks more like single color in many places. The HDR pics show the details in the sand for example better and colors look more accurate overall.

I have the 6290 which is basically the same TV minus a few features. I'm using HDMI 1 and set it to Game Console or whatever it is called. Then go into settings > expert settings > turn on UHD mode on HDMI 1. My video output settings says I have 4k, RGB, and HDR enabled for 4k/2k.
But I did plug it in HDMI 3 at first and it worked fine. I got 4k with no HDR, I made the changes above to enable HDR.
Didn't think I'd ever be tempted with the Pro but seeing all of these impressions makes me seriously interested. Being able to potentially get one for £280 helps as well right enough.
If I already had a 4K and/or HDR enabled TV I'd have already taken the plunge without question. Only having a "regular" 1080p TV makes me hesitant in case the benefits aren't all that great.

If anything benefits are greater at 1080p, you get all the improvements + much much greater AA through super sampling.
There is a thread full of people talking about just that, playing Pro on a 1080 screen.
If you want to see if you can see a difference, load up some of the screens people have taken on your TV and see if you can see the difference.
If you're into BF1 for example its an easy choice, much more solid 60fps and higher settings and a cleaner image through supersampling.

This is the TV I have and I played Rachet on this TV (I have the 55X850C) and it looks stunning with HDR on.
Since HDR is coming on, I assume you activated Enhanced for the HDMI port your Pro is connected to right?
How are you comparing? Relaunching the game once with and once without? Because HDR mode locks in automatically when it detects HDR.

Hope it's there when we get an u-date, the Netflix on my tv has a 4K section but this doesn't, same with amazon prime

That's not what I mean. During the playback of content, you could press options button I believe it was to see the quality of your stream.
It shows which shows are available in 4k for me, but the actual quality of the shows is definitely not 4k. It's barely 1080p.

HDR us Supposed to be more natural - non HDR pics look over blown to me..
3 quick questions/confirmations:
1. Did the Witness get a pro patch?
2. To confirm I can transfer over only specific applications right? Cos PT is the main thing and I ain't to fussed about installing other stuff again.
3. Can I replace the hard drive out of the box or do I have to set some stuff up first?

Put my OG PS4 up on Craigslist just out of curiosity...a few emails and texts later...
Only have a 39" 1080p TV and not planning on upgrading soon lmao. But the VR improvements and solid framerate in BF1 64 player games is worth the inclumental upgrade price after selling my og console

Bearing in mind I'm looking at a photo from your TV, taken on I'm guessing a phone, and then viewing it on my work PC monitor, your non HDR pics look like they are over vibrant compared to the HDR images.

If you guys want to see some good HDR, go make a Japanese PSN account and get the FFXV judgment disc demo.

How's the game look if I have 1080 tv?

2160p checkerboard, which at 60fps should be perceptually very close looking to native 2160p, with the additional benefit of temporal anti-aliasing compared to something like FIFA which has no AA.
Stunning i would imagine, as the SS will remove pretty much all jaggies
