I got a 1080p TV. So should i choose 1080p and still get the super sampled picture?
Or do i need to choose the 4k mode, to get the super sampling on my 1080 TV?

1080p. If a game has a patch for Pro, it will do the work it needs to.

Digital Foundry made note of it in one of their PS4 Pro articles

this is gonna be really tricky for a lot of people who bought 4K TVs in 2014 or 2015. for example, my TV supports 4K60 and HDMI 2.0 (i think) but not HDR which requires HDMI 2.0a. it's a messy situation.

2014 tvs maybe , 2015 tvs shouldnt have a problem especially on the high end.

Alright. Thanks!

I also don't think you will be able to pick 4K on a 1080p TV.

Your TV can't receive a 4K signal, so 1080p output setting. If playing a game that is rendered above 1080p you'll get downsampling.

I'm in the same boat, 4K TV bought in 2015 which supports HDMI 2.0 but not HDR. I guess I'll be using RGB too (?)

yeah i think so. as far as i know the only difference between 2.0 and 2.0a is HDR support.

Either that's the truth or it was easier to lie than have everything that could ensue conversationally if he admitted they did.

Besides that, the register should alert the cashier that it is a street dated item and not allow the sale unless a manager overrides the alert or rings the item up as a manually entered misc. item for whatever cost they enter. Yes, one did it for me once years ago on a game.

Just ordered a Samsung UE50KU6000.

Very happy, will upgrade in a year or two to something more flash when I can afford it. But for now I am pleased with the reviews.

I have the 40" variant. For it's price, it's a damn nice TV.

 

[bloodforge]

I wonder how he got it at Walmart. Items not released yet are usually locked out from being scanned and sold by the computers.

As you said, it's not the fanciest range - more entry-to-mid level - but, for its price, it's not bad. I paid £479.99 for my 40" UE40KU6000 and I love it. 4K and HDR, a ton of smart features, looks nice too. I'm happy with it.

Q: Why do I need a Premium HDMI cable for using PS4 Pro on my 4K TV?
For maximum quality, you’ll need a PS4 Pro system, a 4K TV with a Premium HDMI input port (often marked in blue), and a Premium HDMI cable. A Premium HDMI cable is included with PS4 Pro, but those who need to purchase a longer cable should remember to get one that meets the Premium HDMI spec.

 

[Darklor01]

So close.. damn no sale alerts on registers..

They said "it doesn't come out until tomorrow, but don't worry, we will have them for you when you come back."

Which means, the system will update not to sell them until the 10th before I can get my hands on one. Lol.

did you still buy the paper towels though?

I hope he uploads some high quality .png's that's all i need and not off-screen videos.

Apparently one has come into my work tonight. I'm sure there will be a no sale block on it though. I'll grab a pic if I can.

I was getting a little unhyped for this, and even almost canceled my preorder. The pics of the boxes and ones in the wild are hyping me back up hard though.

Nobody controls the shipping industry. Stuff gets manufacturered, packaged, and sent to warehouses, after which there is a complicated chain of custody to truckers, air and sea transport, etc. Unless you own the entire network yourself there is just no way to guarantee everything is there on Day X.

 

[Macnair]

The wait is killing me. Playstation Asia haven't even announced a release day yet but I already preordered one since most of the stores are saying mid to end of November ETA.

 

[Darklor01]

Wow.. that's just unfair haha

Lol. I knew there was like a 99.9% chance they wouldn't sell it to me. I knew the register would t ring it through on scan, just hoped a manager would key it through gas a misc. item for $399.99.

I held it though. I touched it. Mmmmm.

Horizon Preview PS4Pro ... Hype is real!!

Just as the drool begins to pool in my mouth, the 4K HDR switch gets flicked, and I have to swallow. All of a sudden, I spot so many subtle details, as if somebody has cleared a blob of Vaseline from my eye. The individual stitching in Aloy's eccentric clothing pops out, and the wider spectrum of colour reveals that she has the sort of pinkish hue that George Costanza might go for. The strands of her hair go from amorphous clumps to bands of strands, and the rocky outcrop behind me changes from what I assumed was a cliff polished to nothingness by centuries of rain to a pock-marked surface popping with cracks and grit.

Impressed, I turn my scrutiny from the micro to the macro. We make a quick pan to the sun, which moments ago was offering par-for-the-course lens flare; now there are God rays slashing toward the camera through a sea of cumulonimbi of much richer depth. I physically get out of my chair and plant my face against the screen and.... yep, I'll be damned... though they have absolutely no business being animated, the wind is gently tussling the leafy canopy of a mountain a number of kilometres away. I can also just make out flocks of robobirds out in that wild blue yonder, and there's even a distant valley featuring a stray tallneck plodding about (think: a Dinobot version of a brontosaurus, but with the saucer part of the USS Enterprise for a head).

A few days ago, I flew all the way to this London “Future of Play” event with one thought in my head: my current PS4 and my you-beaut 1080p telly give me what I need: how much better could this new business really be?

Today, I'm going home with a different thought: How can I legally get away with selling one of my children to acquire a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV? Because it has to happen.

I used to be interested in the 1080p stuff but now that I have a 4k tv en route..

Do you think there be many times a 4k tv user won't want that mode on?

Impressions of Days Gone... Sounds incredible!!

Last but not least, we step outside into a small farmyard and I watch as the demo dude tinkers with the times of day while flicking his 1080p/4K switch. The richness of the skybox is like swapping between an art student's take on a sky and a fine Monet painting; the clouds are richer and the basic lens flare of SDR becomes a crowd-pleasing God-ray in HDR. I'm also impressed with how beautiful a thrown Molotov looks when you hurl it into a horde of 20 freakers during the midnight hour. Wayward bits of liquid flame splash out from the point of impact and adhere to the unfortunate victims. They light up like a Christmas tree and in some instances propagate their flaming agony onto their neighbours.
