I had the "handshake" issue the second night. I just switched from my DirectTV box and PS4 Pro HDMI ports and it solved the problem. Now my PS4 is in HDMI 1 and haven't had an issue since.

Watch this.Check out this video "PS4 PRO FURIOUS RANT & FF15 Judgement Demo...maybe Smash later (Sun 11-12)" http://www.twitch.tv/maximilian_dood/v/100988358?sr=a&t=688.  He isn't the type to BS.

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

http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2016/11/13/ps4-pro-not-working-with-your-tv-here-are-7-things-to-try/#ecf9af21e253
- 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.

It took me almost 8 hours to decide which TV I wanted to buy. Even then, the one I got only supported 4K HDR on two HDMI ports. A lot of people are in for some disappointment unless they do their research.

ESO looks about as nice as I've seen it on Pro. Forgot the Pro support was in the October update.

I want a 4k tv but i dont want to blow more than 700 to 800 euros and i am waiting for black friday sales, its hard because of HDR and imput lag. Fucking hell its hard to find a good tv for gaming...

Just stick to Sony Bravia brand TVs. I've never been a fan of theirs but after a lot of research, that was the lowest price I could find on quality 4k HDR capable sets. And don't be afraid to order online. Even buy used. I've done that before. I returned a bad 1080p set and, before i could return the first TV, a second TV was at my doorstep.

If that's your budget for 4K HDR then I would wait till next year.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

I was about to buy a LG brand tv and after i saw some reviews here http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews i realized they suck for gaming because of imput lag with HDR , http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300 this looks like its decent and price is in my range. I am going to check those you said, btw what tv did you bought?

I wound up going to get same site! I even used their preferred settings! I got the Sony Bravia. I think the number was xbr49800xd. Aside from the remote, I love it. Got it from Amazon.com.
