PS4 Pro’s inability to play 4K UHD discs is, no doubt, short-lived

Its actually fast enough..the optical drives is BDxL can read multiple layers over 2. The playback for BD is not for BD-UHD playback, Sony even has sever patents in the BD-XL format which is actually BD-UHD optical drives.

 

And as I shown above the HDMi controller chip on the Mobo has an actual 4K video and pictures Upscaler in the HDMi  controller chip..that Panasonic on board HDMi controller was pretty impressive what it had built in from the get go.

See my post above yours, it's not fast enough. Unless you have some information that it can actually spin faster for BD-UHD playback? Any source?

 Before jeff was banned on gaf he pointed out and rightly so:

 

"a version 2 disk can already be read by BDXL drives and BD-ROM drives only require a firmware update as mentioned in 2010 by Sony-Panasonic. BD-ROM drives did not need to read 33GB/layer as there were no commercial BD-ROM disks being made with 33GB/layer till UHD."

 

Jeff was also correct about every PS4 being.

 HDR-10 Compliant HDMi controller. Way back before many even thought it was just a 1.4 controller only. I tend to with research of my own confirm what Jeff had stated to be pretty spot on.

 

I mean on GAF this was stated:

 

[Jeff hasn't been wrong about absolutely everything (HDR support, most notably, although it's a little too early to point to it as evidence that all PS4s have HDMI 2.0 chips), but from where I'm standing, the PS4 receiving 4K output support is about as likely as it receiving UHD BD support.]

 

But yet it's been proven Jeff was exactly correct in his assessment...
