Your 3DTV must be very poor. On my LG 55LF6529 (passive 3D, 1080p) the picture still is sharper and way more comfortable because of less weight on my head. The 3D effect is equally good.

It could be that beta firmwares don't have a region lock ... that's something to try out tonight ..

What type 3D are sonys psvr headsets displaying? Can't imagine a headset being worst then passive 3d on a TV
Japan DVD's are Region 2, same as PAL.
Blu-Ray are different, maybe you tried a region free Blu-Ray?.
Tried several different japanese blu-ray disks, Prometheus, Bourne trilogy, Inception and a couple others, all worked.

Possibly, my old ps4-novice was a US import.
True 3D as in each eye gets its own image without using any filters.
It's basically simple math. The virtual display only fills part of the view, and each eye gets at best only half of 960 * 1080. But, I'd estimate the movie image fills only two thirds of that, maybe less.
With passive 3D, each eye gets the full half of 1920 * 540 for the movie.

No Boost Mode in PlayStation 4 Firmware 4.50;
Features 8TB External HDD & PSVR Blu-Ray Support Instead
from Mobile & Apps 10 hours ago
PlayStation 4 owners who were able to test the beta firmware might be heartbroken after the final for firmware 4.50 had the Boost Mode removed. This feature already received a nickname "Beast Mode" and is supposedly the single most-anticipated feature that has direct impact over gaming performance. PlayStation 4 firmware 4.50 originally included the Boost Mode in beta to enhance framerate.

Hey guys! Did another short scene based comparison with Assassin's Creed Unity this time! Assassin's Creed Unity - Large Crowd PS4 Pro | Boost Mode On/Off Comparison
Per my description, "The game with boost mode off is definitely improved over how it ran at launch, but there are still stutters and frame drops present. However, the game now runs at a seemingly tight 30fps with the extra juice available with PS4 Pro and boost mode."

This article is based on a (ridiculous) misunderstanding of their source, and is therefore completely false.
News 360 is my go to news site for PlayStation news.

That story is basing this news on PlayStation Universe saying this, but they didn't say it if I try to follow the stories sources...
except, the article they link to doesnt say it wont be in the final firmware, at all.
thanks though, another site for the blocklist.
What the fuck? Who are these chumps?

Maybe they're undecided on whether to include this before the Switch or just before the Scorpio. Of course though, it's damn silly to even think things like this.

So is it only 3d blurays that work or will netflix 3d work with psvr?

Long shot I know, but I have a ps4 pro, and if anyone had a spare beta code, I would love to try out these enhancements. But either way. I cannot wait for this firmware, my 2TB hdd has room for about one or two more games on it! Lol, this firmware better be out in time for mass effect and horizon!
They either misunderstood the source or this is a satire article that links to real sources in hopes nobody would read those.

This website misunderstood what their source said:
"Oddly absent though from the official list of features for firmware 4.50, was the true megaton for PS4 Pro owners; a togglable setting called "Boost Mode" which enhances the framerate of games that haven't had the good fortune to be graced with a bespoke PS4 Pro patch."

I can't believe some people are so beholden to their platform of choice that they want to sabotage the competition by writing fake news. What a tragically sad waste of time.

Even if it was withheld I'd still say that article was trash journalism.

News360.com reporting that a new feature in an upcoming final PS4 firmware update which will further drive Pro sales to kick MS's ass further has been removed.....sounds 100% legit to me.

I don't believe for one second that Sony would be clever enough to add this feature then dumb enough to take it away - there would be uproar!

I have yet to try out The Last of Us with this new mode.
Does it keep the frame rate at a stable 60?

It's not overclocking, it's allowing PS4 games without a Pro patch to use 100% of the new hardware capacity rather than running in a "PS4 mode".

The Last of Us is Pro enhanced already so it won't be improved by boost mode.
They patched it recently and it holds 60fps pretty much perfectly now.
Games like TLOU already have Pro patch and won't be affected by this.
No joke posts please.
LOL I was genuinely curious.
AH, okay thanks!
Its a pro optimized game, wont change anything
There's a result compilation thread:

Other than that we're waiting for Sony to lift the NDA before we'll be seeing framerate tests from official outlets like Digital Foundry.

I don't think it's been confirmed if it's using 100% of the Pro's hardware. Sony just said it allows the games to use the extra clock speed of the CPU + GPU, so it might not be using all of the extra GPU's CU's, just the speed increase (2.1GHz CPU and 911MHz GPU) So in a way, it could be just like overclocking.
I guess we might find out more when DF and NX are allowed to post any videos on the matter.
Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept that boost mode will only work on titles that have not had a Pro patch released for it? It really is quite simple to understand; the majority of pre-Pro games will work in boost mode, and ALL post-Pro games will not work with it as they are already upgraded to make the most of the Pro.
