I hated looking at the One dashboard due to lack of UHD goodness. I love my Pro.

The One S has a UHD dashboard.

Yeah I had the day one addition, didn't want to upgrade both PS and Xbox.

What are you on about? The dashboard is fine.

Ok...If you have a 4K TV hook up both an Xbox One (none S) and a PS4 Pro and look at the difference in quality. Once you get used to UHD you won't want to change.

The Xbone S has an upscaled dashboard from 1080p to 4K. The PS4 Pro is native 4K.

What's everyone's views on the pro now its been out for a wee bit?(cant remember if I've already asked this or not). Is this the playstation to get or would you stick with the normal one(assuming I've got a 4k tv). It sort of seems patches are few and far between and when their is a patch it isn't making much difference? Or is that the point? Not much difference in terms of graphics but a higher resolution?

I upgraded from a day one standard PS4 and i feel the upgrade was completely worth it. It might not have the backlog of supported titles, but every game coming out should have it and games like BF1 run so much better. I'd upgrade again in an instant.

Going to put a different spin on this.

Currently 1TB slim models can be had for as low as £220. The Pro isn't worth the extra £100+ IMO and the list of supported titles is very small.

The supported titles are the new games, older backlog is only getting done if the company wants it to. It's worth it if you own a 4k TV or want better performance as some of the newer games are already giving options for better fps or better graphics.

No you are not. I noticed the difference when I got my Pro/4K HDR Sony TV and the clarity was great much sharper than the PS4/Xbox One. The only issue I seem to have is the auto HDR switching. I want HDR in games but when its on and you are using Netflix/Plex/YouTube it looks like its got mega gamma.

VincentHanna · 31 Jan 2017 at 15:47

Your TV doesn't detect the HDR signal and turn it on and off?

Mine does with PS4 Pro

EDIT...

Forget my question, I googled the answer

So rumour has it on GAF that the new 4.50 firmware will give a boost mode for games released before PS4 Pro to improve framerate.

How will that work with competitive multiplayer? I thought the Pro wasn't allowed to have an FPS advantage.

Well they haven't kept to any of the rules they outlined in that initial developer documentation, so perhaps they decided to ditch that rule, too.

I dont understand this... its been happening with PC gamers for years so whats the big deal.

Zatoichi.uK · 3 Feb 2017 at 15:28

In fairness PC players can lower everything to get the FPS back.

You aren't suddenly going to get 20% frame rate increases

Only the frames change not the time so even if you see 60fps or 30fps it's still over a 1 second period. The higher the fps it will be smoother but it makes little difference to the actual game mechanics....

If that makes any sense..... ? I know what I mean.... :-)

Still, its extremely amusing in 2017 settings have to be dialled back for HD gaming. Even consoles.

Yep, it is what it is. Like most here I'd have the frame rate over resolution but this push to 4k seems to be the focus these days.
