Official PlayStation 4 Pro Teardown

But it would be silly to ignore the fact that 4K gaming is the future, and something that makes the PS4 Pro somewhat future-proof. This is week-on-week data.

This clearly gives an edge to PlayStation 4 Pro, but the console is far from ideal. Eurogamer also founded mixed results with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, with some scenes showing worse framerates and others showing better framerates on the Pro than the regular PS4.

With the PS4 Pro now out worldwide, Sony is aiming for the new iteration of the PS4 to satisfy those with 4K TVs that are capable of HDR (High Dynamic Range). It has not launched in countries like India yet.

So, let us make it easy by breaking down all the information at hand, to help you make an informed choice. Sony is already patching older games to take advantage of the better specs. Rise of the Tomb Raider supports three different modes: 4K Resolution, Enriched Visuals, and High Frame-rate. When users get their consoles up and running, they’re prompted to update to this latest version of the software but unfortunately there’s something not quite right with it. Instead of being able to plug in their new console, they’ve been unable to see what it has to offer regarding 4K HDR. In order for the PS4 Pro to output 4K at 60Hz it requires the use of HDMI 2.0, or more specifically HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 in order for HDR to work.

Secondly, some TVs require you to change a specific setting that enables support for HDR.

It seems as though it’s not only TVs that have issues with PS4 Pro. In the meantime, the PS4 Pro may be expected in November 10 as the console of the year.

So while Sony is blaming the TV manufacturers for the PS4 Pro compatibility issue, and the TV manufacturers are waiting for Sony’s fix, the new PS4 Pro owners are abandoned at the PlayStation forums, disappointed and without an answer to their problems. Some have been ported or remastered for PS4, while loads can be streamed via Sony’s PlayStation Now service, which is available on PS4, PS3, PC and even many Sony and Samsung smart TVs. This to me is much more important because with videos you’re only focusing on what you see, whereas with gaming gameplay mechanics are much more important.
