Was posted in another thread but I figured it was noteworthy since HDR does work on the standard PS4. Would love impressions of that mode.
I am oh so very curious about what this does regarding the following issues:
1. 1080p 60 FPS had reduced shadow quality
2. 1080p 60 FPS had some framerate drops in certain sections of the game
3. Anti-aliasing solution was sub-par (post-process only)
From what I've read the Pro Mode is Native 4K at 60fps, uses HDR, and has the shadows from the 1080/30 mode on the base PS4. So, the Pro Mode is pretty stacked.
I literally went right back to change it as I had a brain fart and of course you quickly quote me!Native 4K at 30fps. They haven't said much about the 60fps option other than it running more smoothly.
Trying this on my 49KS8000, looks stunning :O
Really noticeable difference.
I could take some pictures with my phone but I doubt it would convey the effect as seen in person.
no 1800p60fps option?
A quick comparison seems to suggest people are seeing 'muted' colours because the non-HDR appears more saturated. Turning on and off HDR and comparing the same scene the HDR version is much much better and more realistic. I can't really go back to the non-HDR version now it looks 'cartoony' to me, as in over saturated like you might see on TVs displayed in a store with bright lighting.
It's not that the HDR version is 'muted' as such but the colours weren't supposed to appear so vibrant in the first place and now there's more information there they can cover a much larger range.
However that's assuming everyone's settings and everything is working properly. It may also be there's some bug or something I'm not seeing.
1800p is 2.78x the resolution of 1080p, so using a GPU that's ~2.4x as capable of one pushing 1080p/60 isn't likely to make this a realistic goal for many titles.
If you hit the PS button and go back to the XMB does it also appear really dim/muted?

The colors are more subdued.
Do the standard ps4s need a high speed hdmi cable to use hdr?
Stupid question maybe, but does your set require you to activate a specific setting for HDR, or is it truly automatic? The LG sets anyway require you to turn on Ultra HD Deep Color, or HDR doesn't function at all, even if the set detects it.

Interesting question, turning on and off HDR in game and then going to the XMB appears the same for me. I can't see any difference in that menu no matter the in game HDR setting.
No, I'm using the standard cable and it works just fine. I was curious about that too.

On a scale of 1 - 5 for HDR impact, with 1 being Deus Ex and 5 being Forza Horizon 3, I'd rate this as a 1.5
Besides the fact this is a fairly old remaster of a PS3 game, the muted color palettes don't do much for its capacity to impress with HDR. Scenes are generally muted and the noise and shimmering on the character textures stick out like a sore thumb. Again, it's fine for such an old game, but I'm still waiting to see HDR pop on a PlayStation console.
65" KS8000 in case you were wondering.
Let's also not forget GOW4.. outstanding when it comes to HDR
