Coming soon via Firmware Update!
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
When we announced PS4 Pro and the new slimmer PS4 last week, we also announced that all PlayStation 4 systems — back to the very first console sold in 2013 — would be HDR capable. After updating your system to version 4.00, you’ll see HDR settings in the Video Output Settings and be ready to enjoy HDR gaming and entertainment content once it’s available on any PS4 system you own. Of course, you’ll need an HDR compatible display as well.
Not sure where you heard that, but it is not true. HDR will work great on 1080p. It won't magically make the display higher res, of course.I'm very skeptical of the benefits of running HDR in 1080p. [...] HDR was really design to run with higher resolution as the # of pixel do matters when you want to improved micro contrast and gradient.
Right, this will be a "look, it's nothing!" update until there are apps/games that make use of it. On that note Naughty Dog has announced HDR support for Uncharted 4 http://www.vg247.com/2016/09/12/ps4...he-smudge-from-your-glasses-says-naughty-dog/, specifically:Since each games needs to be patches for HDR metadata, we won't be able to really use that features until we get some real HDR gaming content to try it with. Hopefully this come sooner than later.
Like, all we’re doing is adding stuff, adding HDR support even to the base PS4 owners. This patch that’ll be available for release in November will allow both PS4 Pro owners and regular PS4 owners with an HDR-compatible TV or a 4K TV to enjoy the benefits.
Nope. Once there is, someone will post here.So is there any way to test HDR on the PS4 presently?
Not sure how this makes a whole lot of sense since a bunch of televisions and devices were manufactured long after the original PS4 and they didn't get an HDMI 2.0a or HDCP 2.2 update via software resulting in owners of older 2013 or 2014 Samsung models such as the F and HU series -- which were truly built with future proofing in mind -- having to upgrade our HARDWARE with the 2015 Evolution Kit which had the necessary chips inside to enable HDMI 2.0a via a firmware update late last year.Sony will simply update the port to 2.0a. They designed the port controller of PS4 with futureproof in mind and gave it higher bandthwith than was required for 1.4. Higher bandwidth is all that is required to upgrade it to 2.0a, pins are still the same. There are reports on internet that even HDCP controller on PS4 can be upgraded to 2.2 if necessary one day.
Finally, something we can agree on.Rememeber folks, not everything you read on the internet is true!!!
