Why the PS4 Pro?
Why do you prefer the PS4 Pro over the regular PS4? With 4K gaming, HDR display, improved VR support, and Forward Compatibility, the PS4 Pro will provide a few years of gaming fun. Still, the PlayStation 5 provides more than the Pro in every aspect. Via the link below, you can read more about the new PS5.
4K gaming
Thanks to the PlayStation 4 Pro, 4K gaming is also available for console gamers. The computing power of the Pro has improved and the graphics are 2 times stronger. This brings new PS4 games to life in 4K resolution on your UHD TV. In addition, you can also play all your PS4 games on the Pro.
HDR
High Dynamic Range, also known as HDR, is a technique that makes a broader color representation possible. Do you play games on PS4 Pro and does your TV support HDR display? Colors will be rendered more vividly and black will also be truly black. This makes games more realistic, because in a scary horror game you'll finally be able to see something crawling towards you in the shadows. More realism, more goosebumps.
PlayStation VR vs. Full HD gaming
PlayStation VR
The PlayStation VR is cool. We already knew that much. The PlayStation 4 Pro is even cooler. When you connect the PlayStation VR headset to the PS4 Pro, the headset uses the extra power to improve the graphics and boost the FPS for a smooth virtual world.
Full HD gaming
What if you don't have a 4K TV (yet)? No problem, because although you won't be able to play games in 4K on your Full HD TV (FHD), the PlayStation 4 Pro is still a big upgrade. Thanks to the Forward Compatibility function, developers can choose what to do with the extra processing power of the PS4 Pro. The PlayStation 4 Pro recognizes independently which type of TV you're playing on and uses the corresponding settings and assets automatically.
What does the PlayStation 4 Pro look like?
With the newer generation PlayStation 4 Pro and PS4 Slim, we see that Sony has again elected a somewhat rounder appearance. We agree that the new design gives the PlayStation a mature look. The controller has also been updated graphically. As such, the lightbar on the DualShock V2 is also visible on top of the controller.
