No, it's not blurry. Read the Eurogamer article about how it works. It is not anymore blurry than a native 4K image.

EDIT: well, apparently in the Tomb Raider comparison above the PS4 Pro version is quite blurry lol
It is not supposed to be blurry with this checkerboard technique, but I'll be damned... blurry it is.

The image is originally rendered with half the resolution of 4k. Then they fill the missing dots with their patented mathematical algorithm *cough* marketing bollocks *cough* to upscale the image on a 4k TV / Monitor. An upscalled image always tends to appear blurry.

No, not always blurry. Some upscaling algorithms can avoid blurring, but at the expense of getting some other types of articfacts instead of course. And in Eurogamer's article it seemed as if Sony's "checkerboard" algorithm would be very good to avoid blur. Eurogamer made it sound almost revolutionary.

Apparently that's not the case lol
