1.HDR has a much bigger impact than a higher pixel count.
2.Anyway bring on the game, will pick it up tomorrow. Without HDR providing any benefits I won't have to bother removing the breakout box every time. hdmi 1.4 is plenty for 4k checkerboard.

 

1. To a degree I guess. Hey, the resolution is the bone of the IQ. I guess nobody here is rockin on the 100' 4K TV, but it does matter. 

Also, HDR is not perfect in many TVs, I would say only few a premium TVs do it right.Moreover, HDR is not properly implemented in many games - yes, I look at u TloU Remastered. From what I read, the HDR in RDR2 is OKish, just like it should be.U even have the calibration of the effect, I would kill for it in many PS4 games.

2. Any benefits... Look, HDR is an addition. The image is not better or worse - it's different.

I got the impression from DF that it doesn't provide much of a difference and the calibration options are lacking. However I'll check for myself tomorrow. Plus they said they would be looking into it more later. They did all the comparisons in SDR.

The image is definitely better with HDR. I've made screenshots of SotC where a lot of detail is lost due to the conversion to SDR. Night time and dark areas look much better with HDR and are easier to navigate. Day time doesn't benefit as much since you're not looking at the sky anyway. Of course if you play while the sun is out (the real sun) it won't make any difference :)

Resolution does matter, HDR does a lot more for the image though.
