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

Roronaa_chan on 22 August 2016

If they want to release Slim and Neo close to each other as a cheap/premium alternative then i wouldn't be surprised if it's only on the Neo, with the Slim always being cheaper than the Xbox One S

If it is not going to include 4k blu ray player, it better be cheap. 249 or less is the ideal price.

$249 or less will KILL the Xbox One S.

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.

Lol, laser cannon, sounds like a weapon of mass destruction inside the PS4 xp. And yes, if Sony is wise enough, they will add a new laser lens and the HDMI output update for 4k.

No. they are going for a cheap PS4 model, probably $249 without a game. Neo is for people wanting 4K media and games with a probable price of $399

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.

Features cut?  man you guys are amazing.  

it still plays BluRays

it still plays games

it still plays VR

Perhaps I should have said "usually". But yes, rather than adding, in the past there features cut, iirc. No need to get defensive on that.

I think you misunderstand.  I don't see any features cut.  I think you are making it up or maybe you have convinced yourself but I just don't see what you see.  so I am asking you, what was cut?

I think you misunderstand. There are no features cut (well, besides optical out, which *is* a feature).

Again: people shouldn't expect anything *added* but instead features cut. It's about the expectation of what a slim version is, not what is actually happening.

It should. I don't see why it wouldn't. Unless the power bump for Neo is that small that they need something else to entice people.
