I own a Sony Bravia 48-inches in size model number KDL-48W600B that streams in 1080p...will it really make Horizon look better than with a regular PS4? Or should I decide to buy the PS4? null

Question

Accepted Answer

As I recall, that's a good TV! 

What's Horizon? A game? The BBC series?

The Pro doesn't seem to have any new features for video playback when it comes to 1080p TVs. It is better hardware for games though. Obviously part of the benefit of the Pro is it can support higher resolutions than 1080p, but there should be real benefit for 1080p sets as well, as other than resolution, all the other performance boots will affect 1080p games too. I mean developers can potentially throw in more detail, frame rates may be better, they could run a ton more physics on it, etc. The only benefit for games you won't get is higher than 1080p in other words, but that's not the only benefit when it comes to games. (And while 4K and HDR is cool, you've got a good set-better than probably most 4K sets, so stuff should still look great!)

Personally if I were buying a new PS4, there's no way I'd buy anything but the Pro. If I already had a "regular" PS4 and a 1080p set, I wouldn't worry about upgrading immediately, though I'd probably expect to once I got a game that did something useful with the extra power. (That's just my take on it for myself of course.)

Please go with PS4! PS4 Pro upscales or project the 4k content to your TV! Not worth if you don't have a 4k TV or not planning to get one! now PS4 is $249 a good deal!

Yes it will. Look up super sampling on PS4 Pro.

It wont look as good as on a 4k. Since your tv doesnt have HDR, you wont notice a difference over a standard PS4

Neo · Answer

The ps4pro will preform exactly the same in 1080p. Games will have locked fps. So unless your purchase HDR 4k screen a Pro is a waste of money.
