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.

Does 4.0 have a public release date yet?

"Next week"

 

When the Slim launches the HDR update is coming as part of 4.0 (although this isn't in the beta).

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:

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
