Support NeoGAF

[Elios83]

Don't care about 1440p since I play on a 4K TV, but they basically introduced folders within the game library and that's one of the things I was looking forward to.
Now bring back themes!

 

[Tommi84]

Can I use 1440p on my 4k tv and get improved picture quality with same glorious 60 frames per second?

 

[ManaByte]

Please note: VRR on PS5 supports 1080p and 4K video output but not 1440p.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Lol I JUST figured out how to get my 1440p monitor to trick the PS5 into showing downscaled 4K instead of blurry 1080p, with help from people on this very forum.. Had to jump through crazy, confusing hoops to do it. But, hey, native support is better late than never!

 

[RoadHazard]

ridiculous it took them this long but at least it's finally here.

edit: and it doesn't support VRR at 1440p

take your time Sony... you'll get there eventually.

Probably because the PS5 supports only HDMI Forum VRR, not GSync or FreeSync which is what most monitors use (monitors are what this is for, there are no 1440p TVs). I don't know if the HDMI Forum spec even supports VRR at 1440p? And Sony seems adamant to support that spec EXACTLY, nothing more or less (hence the 48-120hz range etc).

No, this is about the console OUTPUT resolution, not the game INTERNAL resolution

[Ev1L AuRoN]

It doesn't benefit me, but I'm glad there is an option now, there are a lot of people that don't own a hdmi 2.1 TV but have a monitor, its a nice way to experience 120fps on consoles.

I'm amazed that these companies release consoles that lack features their previous consoles had. Folders? I was doing that on PS3, thanks for deigning to add that revolutionary feature in 2022.

Still, at least it's here now. Count your blessings, I guess (in the feature lacking state of the art console).

 

[solidus12]

PS3 backwards compatibility next, please

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Damn Sony took it's sweet time, I hate them for being so late for trivial things.

But at least they did it, next update make VRR compatible with 1440p, maybe next year.

Won't use it as I am playing at a philips oled at 60hz, but I understand a lot of people would want their PS5 next to their PC.

Its not even so much releasing them missing a few features but more so taking near 2 years to patch them in

What to me still amazes as really a brass balls move was Apple when in a point update, not even a major release, did an in place file system migration from HFS+ to APFS on all iOS based devices… BILLIONS!

Please note: VRR on PS5 supports 1080p and 4K video output but not 1440p.

WTF Sony? I dont have a 1440p monitor but those who have can't use 1440p with VRR. No excuse for this.

People who don't have hdmi 2.1 but have a TV 120hz hdmi 2.0 can use the 40fps mode and the game will run at 1440p 40fps/120hz and not in 1080p like rachet or miles or spiderman.

Watching PS fans celebrate getting features that Xbox has had for years is like watching that chick with the deadbeat BF post on FB that she's pregnant...Con...grats?

If you stop viewing it through the lenses of the console wars, you'll realise that people are just happy to get a feature they want. Whether the "competition" has had it for years or not is irrelevant.

When I got a raise at work, I didn't care that some people were being paid the same amount of money for years. I was just happy.

 

[Edgelord79]

Fantastic update! These options are great.

Folders?

 

[EverydayBeast]

1440p is the right direction, Sony is smashing graphic benchmarks.

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I guess this can be useful even if you don't plan to do 1440p output?

If anyone has a US code I would be very grateful for a DM! thanks!

Most people cant even get a PS5, whats the rush lol

We barely have any next gen exclusive games still.....

 

[8BiTw0LF]

If anyone has a spare EU code, please DM me

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Last few weeks the PS5 stock has been pretty steady and really anyone who actually wants one and puts forth much of an effort could have had one

 

[Bojji]

Sony VRR has nothing to do with Freesync (like MS implementation) so that's the answer probably. I don't know if there are 1440p monitors with VRR based on HDMI and not Freesync.

But I don't see any reason to not make it work eventually.

 

[LordCBH]

Does not have freesync, that's is probably why. Monitors does not use the same standard of "VRR".

It’s still batshit insane that they partnered with AMD for hardware and were still too lazy to implement freesync support.

 

[OverHeat]

But 1440p is outdated….

 

[TheShocker]

So what’s the optimal 1440p monitor for this? And XSX?

I have a LG CX in my basement, but was looking at a smaller monitor for my upstairs area to play on from time to time.

 

[gamer82]

So can you play on 1440p and then squeeze more power out of the the modes they offer in the games.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Great news. My tv does 1440p 120. folders too! Now just get that VRR on 1440p Sony.

 

[Jigga117]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? like... are they just ridiculously incompetent? what is this? WHY?

I am really shocked some of you are surprised by this. I mean 3 years of VRR related promises with their tvs and still broken.

 

[solidus12]

Hey, so why can’t I download the update in the background?

 

[StateofMajora]

Good for 1440p monitor users. Options are nice

 

[HTK]

About time, wonder if Call of Duty: MW 2 will be able to do native1440p at 120hz.

 

[Zathalus]

 

[mckmas8808]

Even without VRR...

Plus

 

[sofakng]

Any idea if people who didn't get into the beta can update to the beta firmware if somebody uploads it?

 

[Sosokrates]

About time...

 

[Stuart360]

I never understood why it couldnt do 1440p anyway, i mean its just a resolution. On PC gpu's you can set up almost any resolution you want in Nvidia control panel lol.

 

[wvnative]

Still haven't backtracked on the DS4 restriction, still haven't added a quick toggle for button assignments, still haven't added the option to disable "scene blocked for video recording" notifications.

And these "folders" are a step back from PS4

 

[MarkMe2525]

This is great news. I'm sure it won't take too long to implement VRR at said resolution.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Very nice and welcomed news. Now if only they were to shrink that console down to be slightly smaller than an automobile.

Some think thats coming and will be shown quite soon possibly Sept ish

 

[Borowski_1]

how does 1440p look on a 27" 4K monitor?

 

[Lognor]

Cool. I didn't think Sony would ever add it. Glad to see they did.

But no VRR at 1440? LOL! Sony needs to figure their shit out. Why is VRR so difficult for them?

 

[just_jr]

Finally no more 1080p 120hz on my 32" 2k monitor!

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Good - better than 4K on a 42".

 

[Mr Moose]

I'm doing a quick search and so far can't find any 1440p HDMI VRR monitors, only FreeSync/G-Sync.

Updated May 02, 2022: We tested the monitor with the PS5's new variable refresh rate feature and confirmed that it's not compatible, since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR.

Edit: I found 2 1440p screens that work @ 1080p, neither of them are HDMI 2.1 though:
