I don't care about the gaming performance much, I have my rig for that, but I would be happy if they added 4k video playback on blu-ray at least.

It warrants a definite purchase if you are a TV pixels savy for both gaming and video playback. I'm indeed planning on a 4K TV soon, but its high price always dragged me back. With Ultra HD Blu-Rays are making its way into the market so that's about it for me. I feel a good number will upgrade to it anyway over time for 4K video playback. Plus the move by Sony would have added benefits for PSVR too.

Last year's premium models are coming down nicely in price now, they all have HDMI 2.0, HDR support, 3DS support and all the apps and connections you could want. I actually bought a TV yesterday, was at 3350$ (27.000SEK) or there abouts but I got 33% off and paid only 2230$ (18.000SEK) or so for it!
I am hyped for it. not because it's more powerful or anything like that. But I'm happy cause of what I think it represents. I think it means we don't get a traditional PS5 or PS6 but these 3-4yr hardware revisions which for the first time allow both full forward and backward compatibility.
It means I can skip the Neo and buy the "Trinity" 3-4yrs from now and at that time have a console that will be able to run games at 4k@30/60fps and then skip the next revision. But all the while still playing games with my friends that still stuck with the OG PS4.
I'm happy cause I think it takes the need or pressure away from having to upgrade or jump into a new generation. When you feel the current hardware you have isn't quite cutting it anymore or that it's served its purpose after 5-6yrs or use, you just upgrade but still keep you entire library.
Not exactly hyped, but we have discussed getting a second PS4, might as well get the DX version.

So you think PS4 should have launched in 2016 then? |
Nah, I just think that sony and ms thought that their hardware was enough but was not. I thought so too.
I'm not excited at the least.
I have no plans to buy another ps4 just for better graphics and features I ain't gonna use.
As long as every game works on both the base and neo model I'm happy.
Not really, though this could potentially give the original PS4 a price drop..

Unfortunately the lastest rumors suggest no upgrade to the blu-ray drive. Without that no hype at all. Games look and run fine on the current model. And I'm not ready yet to buy a 4K tv, gonna wait a bit to see what happens with Dolby vision and HDR 10 first, and a tv that actually meets or exceeds DCI P3 color space (which is still only a subset of Rec.2020)
I kinda want to see first what 4K blu-ray looks like downscaled to 1080p with full RGB color (no chroma subsampling) I never had any content like that yet on my 1080p projector.
