Here’s how the PS4 Pro experience will change depending on your TV

Last night, when Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 Pro they emphasized how the console would bring 4K gaming to everyone's lives. Their conference didn't address what the case was if you didn't have a 4K TV or a TV that supports HDR. They also failed to mention that a majority of the games that will be played on the PS4 Pro will actually be scaled to 4K resolution, instead of playing at native 4K.

Luckily, someone detailed how the experience from the PS4 Pro will change depending on what you're connecting it to or whether you're using PS4 Pro enhanced games on an original PS4. 

The PS4 Pro depends entirely on developers making the call to enhance their games for the Pro, that being said, there's a chance that some devs won't change their games for the new console. 

This is how the PS4 Pro will affect you if you…

(as per Kotaku)

• Own a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV with HDR:

  • Pro-supporting PS4 games display at 4K resolution and sport a wider range of colors that allows extremes of light and dark to better display at the same time.

• Own a PS4 Pro and a standard 1080p TV:

  • Marginal improvements to games that are programmed to use the more powerful console’s power for non-4K/HDR effects. According to developers working on games for the Pro, these gamers may see the game they’re playing running at a more stable framerate or with some improved graphical details.

• Own an original PS4 and a TV with HDR

  • Some degree of HDR visuals in games that are patched or developed to support it.

• Play new PS4 games on an Original PS4 with a standard 1080p TV:

  • See graphics that are likely worst among these options, though it’s not clear how far a drop-off they’ll have in graphical quality. This option might not be too bad, because, as any PS4 owner can attest, PS4 games have looked pretty damn good as is.
