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. 

HDMI 1.3 already supports 10, 12 and 16 bit color. HDMI 1.4 supports 4K video at max 30 fps.
However the HDR layer is only specced into HDMI 2.0a
