Forums - Sony Discussion - Ps4 slim will come with 4k video support?

I'm not talking about games. X1 S has full 4k video playback and HDR. Is this new ps4 slim adding support for 4k streaming and BD and HDR or this will only come with Neo? Hardware wise I don't see much reason why not adding this support. The only thing missing for ps4 be able to display 4k is a compatible HDMI output and in case of BD an updated laser cannon.

I will be surprised if it doesn't

Considering how deep Sony has its finger in that Bluray pie, I would be pretty fucking surprised if it didn't. Especially since they haven't released a 4K BR player yet.

That is pretty odd I guess the 4K BR drive inside the XBox One S is made by Samsung then.



Sony will want to differentiate between the PS4slim and the Neo so the last thing they'll want to do is confuse customers by advertising the PS4slim as a 4K console ... unless that's ALL you have and confusion is what you want.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Is the 4K blu ray drive in the Xbox One S made by Sony??? That would be quite funny/cool at the same time.



No, but you can unlock 4K video with this special cheat code:

Take $400 to your local game store and say "I'll take that PS4 Neo please". That unlocks 4K video.



I think if you want to have 4k on a Sony console, you have to buy the neo. The slim is a cheap version of the vanilla console and gets features cut, not added.



Well you bloody hoped it did.

This makes the most sense. They have to definitively define PS4 for the Neo. So I also think PS4 2000 will be a super bare bones PS4 for the kids, parents, and casual gamers with 1080p TV's. Neo is going to be marketed as the ultimate 4K devices, so far that they may just end up call it the PS4K with the 4K being the 4K symbol you see on all 4K product from Sony.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
