It was working before the patch? The flickering he got? Hard to listen to his rant, yet he says he knows his hdmi stuff, then is still amazed that the psvr unit drops splitters down to 1.4. Splitters drop down to the lowest common denominator of the connected devices, you can't send hdmi 2.0 and 1.4 through at the same time...

Sounds like the normal risk of early adopters. HDMI 2.0a handshakes gone wrong. I doubt it's a conspiracy that it works on Sony tvs, ofcourse Sony has their handshake shit sorted out internally. Blame the industry for not settlling on firm standards. Or blame the blu-ray consortium with the stupid HDCP 2.2 requirements which is likely causing these problems. A patch should be able to fix it.

Last gen was worse, remember ps3 could only display at 480p on 720p tvs.... HD lol. This whole HDR stuff was released prematurely, very few tvs can properly display it with another format battle going on again. The thing has been out for 4 days. Shit will be sorted out, and fuck hdmi, worst idea ever.

Lol,we'll I don't know shit about tech.Just want to know if I buy a Samsung 4K hdr and plug it in that it will work.

Best to ask for a demonstration in the shop before buying. Atm it is a clusterfuck

4K UHD blu-rays with HDR or 4K Netflix with HDR working is no guarantee either. The 4K HDR mode of the ps4 asks a lot of the tv.
In comparison: 4K UHD discs use a 10 bit 4:2:0 24hz signal, ps4 pro a 10 bit 4:4:4 60hz signal, 2.8 Gbps vs 13.9 Gbps

- Not all HDMI ports on 4K tvs and receivers are the same
- HDR is a manual setting on a lot of TVs
- A lot of 4K HDR tvs were actually only HDR ready and still need a firmware update, update everything
- Try a direct connection (no receiver in between)
- Check cable, remove splitter (see the difference in bandwidth need for movies and pro visuals)
- Final resort, switch the ps4 to HDCP 1.4 in safe mode (item 6)

It's HD ready time all over again. Manufacturers are just putting tvs out claiming they can do stuff that they might be abble to patch in later. A friend of mine has also been duped with a 4K Oled tv from LG. Doesn't actually support HDR.
