So 1080p Owners, what are your thoughts on the PRO?

Things like lowered res on the outside edges of your view (blur in your peripheral vision) is either drastically reduced or elicited completely, allowing your whole view to be rendered at the full res. Resolution overall is increased in most cases as well. Area X on Rez has lots of tiny particle effects (everything is made of tiny cubes, kind of like Resogun) and on PS4 there was a bit of smear when you would blow up the big enemies, and some pixel shimmer as stuff would explode. The res was increased there and now you can clearly see each particle and enemies overall have a much cleaner presentation at higher res. Objects at a distance in Until Dawn ROB were much clearer as well, things like the small enemies on level 5 were tough to distinguish sometimes on the dark floor and could be quite blurred, but I found it MUCH easier to make them out on Pro, and there was absolutely ZERO pixel shimmering on the conductor guy's face now on Pro, while on PS4 the shimmer was very noticeable and slightly distracting.
Don't be discouraged, I am extremely satisfied with the performance I got out of the PS4 on PSVR and would definitely recommend it to vanilla users. Pro is definitely a step up, no doubt, but I can confidently say I was just as blown away at PSVR launch as I am at PSVR w/ Pro
Right now it's wait and see. If I see clear or worthwhile improvements to games I plan to actually play I might be swayed. Also really unimpressed with the noise issue. Just deeply unimpressed with Sony's hardware quality in general this gen. PS3 was a McLaren Mercedes compared to what they are putting out now. And I don't mean chip design; I mean everything else.

I wanna get one this year. Bf1 mp alone is a wortwile investment. All future game will have some enhancments to 1080 owners. This is no brainer.
Also ff15 in 60/1080 seems amazing.

What about the shadowing that was pretty pixelated on the OG PS4? Imo the only real visual flaw of the game. Are they a bit smoother now?

So I know certain games are going to have a patch for the pro.. My question is will there be any benefits towards games without the pro patch? I mean if I throw in AC:BF will there be better IQ? More stable frames?

Can someone provide a comparison shot on the standard PS4? I just played this game last year and I remember it looking very good so I'm not really sure how much better this is compared to the original going from memory alone.
As far as I'm aware the games with no patch/pro support will still run the same.
I think Cerny said they try to do it like you suggested but ran into problems with some games.

I wish I could give you a comparison pic but I can't.
I seriously doubt OG PS4 could output a clean image like that

Then we had reviews saying "not really worth if you don't have a 4K TV" lol
I'm glad the perception for the 1080p users is slowly changing =)
I am considering picking on up between now and the end of the year, but its between the pro and the slim. I am mostly picking it up to play Persona 5, spider-man, and KH3. Those games are the ones i am the most excited for but I will go back and play things like the last of us and bloodborne since i missed those exclusives. What do you think would be a better buy? Do we know If the Pro is loud like I've head the OG PS4 is?

Insane For Sony
That would be a bad idea. There's no way a TV can upscale something better from 1080p than this console can from 1800p. The checkerboard 2160p is not even in the same realm as any possible 1080p TV upscale.

Pro over Slim. You dont even have a PS4? Get a Pro. Dont bother with Slim.
Those games will all benefit from Pro, Spiderman especially. If you're just getting your first PS4, the Pro will definitely be worth the extra $100 over the Slim.

If it's your first, and spending another $100 is not a problem, I'd say go Pro. DF did a noise comparison, and it's about as loud as an OG PS4 under load. YMMV on whether that is a dealbreaker or not. My original PS4 sits under my desk on a shelf, so I rarely hear it.
I almost pulled the trigger yesterday on the Ebay deal and today on the Target deal but currently I am willing to wait until next year as more games come out or are patched to support it. Also, at this point I have yet to see a decent trade in deal. If GS or BB were to offer $200 it would be a no brainier. Especially GS.

Love hearing this! I am more excited about the PSVR impact then I am about 1080p impact. My 4K TV is coming soon!
EDIT: I am still waiting for my PS4 Pro to arrive from Amazon. I will post my impressions as a 1080p TV user as soon as I have them.

Same here. Eyes melted on R&C
You aren't paying $400 in the end because you can easily sell your ps4 for $100+.

As a 1080p, I have no interest in it.
Yeah especially if there's a renove plan.
I could get a PRO for 130e trading my ps4 and 2 old games right now. I just don't feel like I need it though, and I also don't like the idea of supporting iterative consoles :/
Wait and see...
I've seen enough.

probably getting one for FFXV
BF1 looks absolutely superb. Reminds me on PC Very High Settings tbh. But only played SP so far. My second game was Zombi (still need dat platinum trophy grrr) and call me crazy but even that old non patched game looks better now. I don't know if Pro downsamples every game through the 4k upscaler (if such thing is even possible lol) or if my imagination just go wild. But one thing is for sure. This baby loads extremely fast. Always had a hiccup when Ubisoft logo appears and that is gone now.

I have a 4K TV and my Pro is coming Monday. Question:
Is it better to play these optimized games at sampled 1080p or at the 4k settings? Which is going to give me the best framerate? That's what I care about most.

1080p will always give you better framerate. (if developers included that option).
4K (native only for some games i guess) will give you better IQ.
Non patched games have no changes graphics wise.
You can get better load times with SSDs though.
Nope no benefits.
Except maybe loading times? People seem to be saying that load times have been reduced even with the stock PS4P drive in unpatched games.

Dishonored 2, downsampled 4k screen. This is what it looks like on my 1080p tv.

Image quality is insane. And I can finally play BF1 with good frame-rates on operation and conquest mode.

Same, and I haven't played it on a OG PS4, but my goodness is this picture quality crisp.
Really stunning.
As I side note the download speed is so much faster with the Pro, and I'm talking wired no wifi. I've downloaded 40 Gigs of Destiny in 2 hours in what would have taken at least twice as long with the base PS4.

Hey, thank you! Somebody else in the same boat as me.
Rez Infinite Area X is truly the biggest game for me when talking about Pro enhancements. I went back to R&C and while the IQ is insane, the framerate and motion blur made it look jarring compared to the bombastic performance and visuals of Rez.
I truly hope devs push framerate in their Pro patches.

EDIT - Never mind.... I misread this as PS4 Pro Owners and getting feedback on a 1080p screen for those that are playing on them.
Not a thread generally asking about people's opinions on PS4 Pro as a 1080p TV owner.
