We got our hands on the PS4 Pro back in November, and we gave it a thorough workout on a 1080p TV and the PSVR. But now that we’ve had a few weeks to test it out running on a 4K TV with HDR, we have a better idea of just how much visual bang for your buck you’ll get with Sony’s latest console.
For testing purposes, we hooked up the PS4 Pro to a mid-range 2016 4K UHD TV with HDR10 support. While it certainly doesn’t have the same kind of visual punch as a $4,000 OLED screen, it’s a massive step-up in quality over a standard full HD set. And since this model lists for a fraction of the cost of a top-of-the-line OLED set, it’s a lot closer to what an average person would be using in their home.
With that in mind, let’s check out a few games and video services on the PS4 Pro, and see how they hold up on a 4K TV. And while we’re at it, we’ll look ahead to a handful of upcoming titles that will make your wallet quiver in fear.
