Sony Discussion - PS4 Pro - View Post

Ok. Let me be straight with you. And this is coming from arguably one of the biggest sony fans on this site.

4k is overrated.

You will see more of a visual difference from your 8-10ft viewing distance with a PS4+HDR tv in a game that supports HDR than you would see on a PS4pro+4k TV with a game that supports higher rez/4k but doesn't do HDR. That is just the God honest truth.

If you have a PS4 and a 4k tv then you are fine. If you ahve a PS4 = 4kHDR tv you are also fine. You do not need to or have to get a PS4pro.

If you sat 3-4ft from your display? then maybe 4k and a PS4pro would show you a tangible difference. Have you wondered why even in those comparison videos they usully have to zoom in on the image to show you how much better and sharper the pixels look? Thats because from a normal viewing distance and with normal human eyes theer isn't a night and day difference between 4k and 1080p. Yes, its sharper, and if you look for it you would see the difference but its not difference enough to make a truly meaningful impact in how you experince the game.

Thats what HDR does though.

People will tell you different and swear on their children how much better 4k is...... so take what I have said as you wish; but I stand by this. HDR is more relevant than 4k. And you will notice it significantly more.

As for everything else, the PS4pro does offer you an all round better performing game. So if better framerates here and there and better effects here and theer is your thing then go for it.

Mind you, I have a Ps4pro.
