That seemed to work until I tried watching a bluray. It only outputs 2.0.
EDIT: I got it to work. Thanks for the help!

Okay, here's another annoying thing. I hate how they moved the status light from the top of the console to the front and made it this big long line. When the lights are dim, it looks like this huge long light. Is there any way to disable it?
I found a PC cable that was just long enough. I hope the ground being plugged in isn't a big deal.

Tomb Raider on Pro feels like a generation ahead of the XB1 version. Stunning.

Do you have a B6? There's a thread floating around about that issue.
HDCP 1.4 give me a picture. What now?
It really is.
And both Titanfall 2 and Dishonored 2 are rocking my world on the Pro, so good.
I got IW on the cheap on its way, and FFXV in a few weeks. Having to restrain myself from rebuying Ratchet.
Overloaded and loving it.

Is everything working? Using HDCP 1.4 should be fine for everything except 4K streaming apps as far as I know. So if you've got picture and sound working you should be fine for gaming now
Friend and I just spent a couple of hours playing around with the Pro.

- You can switch between 4k or 1080p, HDR or Non-HDR, and locked 30fps or Unlocked frame rate
- You can change these settings at any time during gameplay using the settings menu
- The only way I can describe 4K mode is that distant objects and textures look significantly sharper and more in focus than in 1080p mode. There's also less aliasing.
- HDR mode definately increases the amount of detail in the sky, especially around the sun. You can simply see more. However, on my Sony 850C it also tends to look a bit desaturated. So, I'm not sure if I prefer more detail in the skybox or more vivid colors without HDR.
- Main Menu hall and London Heist looked quite a bit clearer and sharper. Things just look more in focus. It's not "blow me away" better but it's noticable how much more defined and less jaggy distant objects are.
- It might have been our imaginations but everything seemed a bit brighter, also.
- Loading times are clearly reduced

Quick question, I had thought my tv didn't support HDR but when I went into the display checker thing my Pro has it says "2k/4k Supported" by HDR. Does that mean it does support HDR or would it just say something else?
It's a Samsung JU6700 if that helps any.

Is the Pro just hard to find right now or something? I went into a Walmart (only because I had gift cards) after work, and not only did they not know what it was, or how to look it up in their system, when I finally just told them to check their own website for the SKU they said they couldn't tell how many were in stock at any other locations.
Your TV does support HDR. Specifically, it supports HDR10. I'm not sure how well it supports it (brightness, color, etc.) but it's compatible.

Yeah It blew me away with checkerboard 4k. Gotta upgrade my PC 1080p doesn't cut it anymore.

Have you tried being signed in only on the new PS4 Sorry if you've already tried this, just trying to help.

Do you have the HDMI UHD Color turned on it whatever they call it? Have to turn that on per HDMI connection for HDR to work.
Yeah that's what the problem was. Really strange though, I had this already on with my regular PS4 for HDR and it must have switched itself off somehow. Thanks!

Rigs is such an improvement on the Pro, I was starting to feel good about my purchase.
Then I put in ratchet and clank. Sweet mother baby Jesus.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I watched a video about how to transfer and the something-like "Transfer to another PS4" menu item that they used isn't in the System menu on my PS4 Pro. The consoles are both running and networked.
EDIT: Maybe it's part of this system update that just showed up?
EDIT. Yes, it is. What a load of BS. They just figured out that people would be replacing PS4s with Pros?

Sweet thanks
Tips for anyone trying to get HDR working on a TV they know to support HDR:
1. Is your Pro plugged directly into the TV via HDMI?
If so, check to see if your TV has a setting for "Enhanced HDMI" or "UHD Color" for the port your plugged into and that it's enabled. It may be set to "Standard" mode for compatibility.
2. Is your Pro plugged into the PSVR box via HDMI?
The PSVR box can not pass through HDR to your TV. You'll loose HDR and 2160p - RGB when plugged into the box. If you want to use HDR, you'll have to plug the HDMI directly into your TV and bypass the VR box when not using it (yeah, sucks).
3. Is your Pro plugged into a receiver via HDMI?
Your receiver may not support the full HDMI 2.2 spec and thus not support HDR.

Seriously, it's wild how clean Ratchet looks on the Pro. I play on a monitor at my desk, so I'm basically right up at the screen and the improvements in IQ to Ratchet and Titanfall 2 are very noticeable to me. So happy I upgraded!
I already solved the problem but I wanted to quote you and let you know I really appreciate the effort you put in here! Thank you!

Is there a way to force downsampling in Tomb Raider? It looks lovely at 4K on my LG B6 but when I switch to one of the 1080p modes it introduces a ton of aliasing and shimmering not present at 4K. I thought it would downsample the image...

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Fetch was such a realistic design. A regular, attractive person that didn't reach too far into model territory.Been testing things all day and haven't even played anything. For some crazy reason I love the game within the game.
I will say, using HDR on the Pro definitely looks better than on a base PS4. I had crushed blacks like you wouldn't believe on my OG PS4, so much so that I set the in game brightness all the way up and it was still crushing blacks. Glad to see that wasn't the case here. Looks great now that I settled on YUV420, which got rid of the color banding for the most part....and it looks great in 4k, such a very clean image:
Finally, we can make our games look like bullshots!

It's probably the most "fun" game outside Nintendo platforms in my opinion.
4K is the downsampling mode. 1080p mode literally runs in that resolution at 60fps with extra graphical effects from the PC version enabled.

I set it to 30 fps but no change in resolution. I'm on a 65" Samsung JU6700.

It looks much better now. I was wowed by the difference.
Played some Ocean Decent and a Danger Ball and also came away impressed.
Picked up Ratchet & Clank and God damn!
This. Man I swear the lighting is like ten times better on 1080p with supersampling. It looks so clean and bright. I was really suprised by how much I noticed it looks nicer.
