The compromise with the OG Ps4/Slim is that due to HDMI 1.4 limitations...you are relying on your UHD TV to upscale with its internal scaler...which adds frames of lag.

Upscaling is better when done on the hardware level before output onto the display...so that the display receives a 4K signal.

Also people should be shopping 'HDR Premium' labeled UHD TV's panels to benefit from 10bit wide color gamut HDR.

If buying something 'HDR Pro' or Samsung KU/ LG UF lower costseries ...the HDR is stil handicapped within an 8bit panel's 16.7 million colors...as opposed to 1 BILLION colors . Big difference.

I'm scratching my head how Sony is planning on providing HDR over hdmi 1.4. Current HDR tvs only accept HDR as part of a 4K hdmi 2.0a signal. It will have to upscale as well. Reading the difficulties the One S has pairing with HDR tvs, how is the base ps4 going to do it through the old port?

Perhaps the port was already designed with a firmware update to hdmi 2.0 in mind. They managed to magic 3D output into the ps3 as well after all.

It's gonna be fake HDR.

HDMI 1.4 only supports 8 bit color. HDR is 10 bit.

Be like advertising HD while using composite cables.
