Yeah, that is kind of silly of Sony to design it like that.

Yeah.  Especially since the Pro boosts game performance, VR performance, and 4K performance.  They all kind of played a factor in my purchase of the other stuff.  Maybe Sony will offer an upgraded Processor Unit if both the Pro and PSVR do really really well in sales.

Do you really complain about that?  I have 9 consoles and a PC that i use for gaming.  Almost every gaming session I have, I have to fiddle around with HDMI cables, and I have to use converters for my older consoles, like PS2, Sega Saturn, ETC.  I would love to be in your situation, lol.

I refuse to play on anything other than my 24 inch 1ms gray to gray monitor.  I don't care that it's not an IPS monitor, I want screen lag to a minimum. So, no 4k, no HDR, no ultra wide.  Just 1080p and a lagless display.

But, just saying... You've got it good.

 

My PS1, 2, and JP PS2 can all use the same video cable, but not the same power cord.  Everything else uses a different power and video cable, except for the HD consoles.

I can't even have access to 4k, HDR, and all that other stuff, because of display lag.  I refuse to play on anything other than my 2c



enjoy yourself~

Good thing I didn't open my PSVR and returned it today. PSVR2 should be the real deal.

Another solution is, if you use a receiver, to put the processing unit on the 2nd hdmi out port of the receiver.
Advantage: You can watch everything connected to the receiver on the psvr's virtual screen.
Disadvantage: Different receivers add different lag to the video signal, which you may notice when using move controllers.

I tested it with my old receiver and unfortunately the added lag is noticeable with the move controllers lagging slightly behind my hand movements.

It seems a switch won't work either according to this post:

A switch will throttle down the hdmi spec of the whole chain to the lowest version of all connected devices.

PSVR isn't the only problem, a perfectly fine 7.2 receiver with hdmi 1.4 is just as big a problem. If you want to watch 4K Netflix with HDR, or 4K UHD discs on XBox One s, you're only option is to settle on optical audio, lossy 5.1 dts. HDMI is a pita. Why the hell didn't they keep the audio specs separate from the video and have a simple pass through for either or without touching the signal.

I guess everything is relative. I'll count my blessings. And who knows? I'll probably come up with some sort of solution once I have everything in front of me. I'm usually pretty clever and creative when it comes to av stuff. I usually get the result that I want.



Hey. This is what I'm doing. Just haven't gotten the TV yet. I'm even thinking about waiting till next year when true HDR is more standard across the 4K TV line up, but if a solid sale hits the Samsung KS8000 or KS9000 I may jump in this year.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

My current Setup:

49 inch Sony Bravia (DVR 49x800d) with 4 HDMI ports
Dish Network Receiver
PlayStation 3
Xbox 360
Sony STR-DH750 amp (with 4 HDMI inputs and one HDMI out)
PlayStation 4
Xbox One
WiiU
PC

The loss of VGA cable support forced me to hook my PC up to a second monitor. I bought a converter but decided not to bother with it.

The PS3, Xbox 360, and Dish Network all run into the Sony amp (with Bose surround sound system). The HDMI out runs into a splitter. One HDMI runs into the back of my Xbox One. The other runs into HDMI 1 of the TV. I can switch between consoles/TV using the amp. No noticeable degrade when playing games on TV.

Xbox One gets HDMI 2
PS4 gets HDMI 3
WiiU gets HDMI 4--which is noticeably less capable than the other HDMI ports

PSVR obviously connected to PS4 (with camera)
Kinect is connected to Xbox One

Simple!

(This is totally if e topic but I like thinking about it!)
