A:AnswerThe PS4 Slim outputs games at full 1080p, while the PS4 Pro can output games at up to 4K resolution (2160p). If you have a 4K television, you'll see a noticeable difference in game quality. Note that not all games support 4K, but some will receive updates such as higher framerates, making gameplay smoother.
A:AnswerYou can stream 4K movies online, just make sure you have the correct bandwidth and speed needed to enjoy it . Downloading a 4K movie would be a challenge , we're talking about a 90 GB download file . 90 . GB . Download .For just ONE movie . This is why I find the lack of a 4K blu ray player so puzzling.
A:AnswerIf the answer is no as everyone above says, why do they show so many pictures with the vertical stand attached but no warning (I could find in my quick search) that vertical stand is sold separately. False advertising.
A:AnswerWell probably no PS4 games will support 4K, though many will support higher than 1080p. (I've read that 2500ish lines of resolution might be common).
At any rate, I'd recommend a high end Sony or Samsung using a VA panel. I guess because it's cheaper, a lot of TVs are now using IPS panels instead of VA, and VA has *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY* higher contrast than IPS does. Like when I was looking at TVs earlier this year, the VA based one I bought has nearly 7000:1 contrast (REAL contrast, not fake), while IPS based sets I was looking at had 700:1. The WORST VA based TVs still had over 2x the contrast of the BEST IPS sets.
I think ONLY Sony and Samsung still sell VA TVs, and not all of them are anymore either.
Also watch out for how many HDMI ports actually support HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 so you can actually use them with 4K/HDR. All of Sony's 4K sets support 4K through all their HDMI ports, but they're the only company that's true of. Samsung you have to move to the 8 or 9 series to get all the ports supporting HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2, and other brands usually just have 1 port that supports it.
On top of that, Sony and Samsung bother making good scalers for their TVs, so non-4K content still looks great. (Literally SD content still looks fine.) WAY higher quality scaler than other brands.
I sound like an ad, but seriously I did months of research and if you care about games (and being able to support a variety of other gear at different resolutions), you're really limited to Sony and Samsung.
Also, look out for TVs that don't have analog inputs anymore :-/
A:AnswerNo the PS4 Pro does not add native backward compatibility to the device. PS3 games are however available through the PSNOW application which can be installed on the PS4 from the store. This allows you to stream over 400+ PS3 games with your PS4 acting as the interface(1)
(1) Requires a 5mb or higher internet connection.
A:AnswerThis will overheat more than any other PS4. If that's one of your main concerns then I would not bother with this model. I would stick with the Slim simply because of the overheating and noise problem. The Pro is very noisy and tends to overheat ; even in open spaces. Sure, it has the 4k graphics benefit, but I'd wait for the PS5 model to upgrade from an original or Slim PS4.
A:AnswerYes! It was originally only with the Red Dead bundle, but they are now shipping them just as the base unit. I haven't really pushed the system yet, so I can't comment to the fan noise issues.
A:AnswerNo. It has been out for several years. I finally bought one recently after getting a 65" 4K TV. I think the original price started at $499.99. I love the better quality video and faster uploads and updates. I am sure the price will drop at least another $100 or more on Black Friday. I am not interested in the upcoming PS5, at least till it has the bugs worked out and the price drops. I see they will have a package deal soon for the PS4 PRO. Keep watching the PRO is available and grab it right away. I picked mine up one evening and got it by only seconds.
A:AnswerAs per this website
All ps4 models irrespective of region or model number are dual voltage! It's a portable console so it can travel with you to any country from 110v to 240v since it has a voltage regulator build in. I'm living in Malaysia with 240v but I'm using an Amazon PS4 from US with a rated 120v without any issues!!!Jul 22, 2015
