Every PlayStation 4 to be made HDR capable via a patch

 

By Oli Welsh Published 07/09/2016

 

The focus at Sony's PlayStation Meeting event in New York is on PlayStation 4 Pro, but it's not the only Sony console that will be able to use the capabilities of the latest TV sets.

 

At the event, PlayStation boss Andrew House revealed that all PS4s will gain the ability to support the High Dynamic Range (HDR) colour capabilities of some UHD, or 4K, TVs. HDR support will be added to PS4 via a system update next week.

 

Previously, the only console with HDR capabilities has been the recently released Xbox One S from Microsoft. It can play UHD Blu-ray discs, which use HDR, and HDR is coming to some games, including this month's Forza Horizon 3.

Oh nice, just need to buy myself a new shiny HDR TV. Although i'm still holding out for a good gaming 65" set with the holy trinity of HDR OLED 4k.

To answer my own question - No Microsoft won't be adding HDR to the original Xbox One as it only has HDMI 1.4a whereas it looks like Sony sneaked in an HDMI2.0a compatible controller even though it wasn't finalised when the PS4 originally came out. So with a firmware update they can make that compatible controller a compliant one and support HDR. Interestingly that also means it can technically do 4K as well if Sony decide to add that in the future. Obviously it can't do 4K games but it may be possible to do 4K video content which would be interesting with their PlayStation Vue service :yes:

Just so people know, the Pro doesn't need a different software update. Sony just told me it uses the 4.05 PS4 one, so those of you who are putting another HDD into the Pro when it arrives, just grab the FULL image from here:

    • The future of Samsung's AI-powered education system

      By KMilenkoski1202 · Posted

      So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
