Okay. You're my "go to guy".

I got the PSVR on day one because I loved the idea of VR (and Sony delivered!). I figured the PS4 Pro would improve the experience so I preordered one. Then, I figured, as long as I was getting a Pro, I might as well get a 4K HDR ready TV.

I got a Sony Bravia yesterday. I already have the PSVR and I really don't want to ever disconnect it if I don't have to. The Pro arrives on November 10th.

Here's my question: from what I hear, you need an HDMI 2.0 cable to use HDR. I don't think the PSVR came with an HDMI 2.0 cable. Also, somebody said there's the possibility that the Pro can't even do HDR with the VR attached! Can you find some facts?

The cable doesn't matter. Those hdmi 2.0 cables are mostly a scam, normal hdmi cables work as well. Only for very long cables you'll need a high quality cable to combat signal degradation.

The problem is in the PSVR processing unit. That only has hdmi 1.4 ports and processing. It will switch the pro back to 1.4 output and thus you can't get a 4K picture to your tv that way. Cable swapping is your only option unless you buy a splitter. You'll need a hdmi 2.0a splitter or you'll still lose HDR, and those aren't cheap (yet) $163 https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/177/1x2-hdmi-20a-hdmi-20b-splitter-with-hdcp-22-support

I confirmed my pre-order for the pro as well today. Next Thursday I should be able to pick it up :) I'll get Robinson The journey at the same time. They're getting eagle flight in too, waiting for reviews for that one. I have no clue what the gameplay would be in that game.

Too rich for my blood. Guess I'm just going to have to disconnect every time. Thanks for the info!
