Hey you didn't give me your opinion on the gain this internal upscaler (because if PS4 Slim or Neo have one it'll probably be similar) against Sony XBR-65X855C

The Sony XBR-65X855C is trending towards higher part of the mid-range 4k TV market (As it's an 8xx model, still better than a ton of high-end 1080P panels though and a league ahead of cheap corner-cut low-end 4k panels.) 4k TV, Sony do typically have some of the best scalers in the TV business anyway.

The PS4 Slim and Neo will likely use an AMD scaler, which would still likely have the edge and should reduce input lag, either way, you will still have great upscaling results either way.

I hope the scaler is good as that's the only way to get HDR output. HDR is restricted to 4K signals with HDMI 2.0  So even if the tv has a better upscaler, you'll miss out on HDR effects that that mid to high range 4K tv supports. It's only 3 games for now that are confirmed to get HDR output so you can always switch back for other games.

Announcing HDR support implied 4K upscaling. More interesting is what kind of HDR output it will support, HDR 10 or Dolby vision or is there some version for 10 bit RGB as well. Will it do the 1000 nit highlights, use the full DCI-P3 color spectrum or simply 10 bit RGB. DF analysis will be interesting for a change. Advise on what the best 4K tv for HDR gaming is will be appreciated.
