Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Does it only happen with HDR?

Mine goes black for a second when HDR is enabled, but I also get an HDR banner in the corner letting me know it’s using HDR. It does that for any HDR content, not just on the Pro.

I did have HDR on my TV turned on, but turned it off last night and enabled Game Mode on the TV (switched HDR on in The Show settings).
It's usually due to 4K resolution switching, when set to Auto. I believe the XMB is RGB (for non-HDR, HDMI 2.0 screens) and some games/apps are YUB420 (HDR, 10-bit output). The PS4 switches to the best available option depending on your screen.

OK, that makes sense. I do have my settings to Auto. Should I change that to something static, or just leave it and know that from time to time this issue will happen?

I thought it was, but I had HDR OFF on the TV last night - Game Mode was enabled - and it still happened. I saw Slab's note and looks like that could be the root cause and not the TV setting.

Edit: I'm really clueless when it comes to this stuff. The beauty of 1080p was it was still plug in and play. The 4K looks amazing, but man, so many different options you have to account for now, so I feel like I'm flying blind at the moment.

That's something else I was going to mention. I think AUTO is still the best option, or else you'll be continually tinkering with it depending on game or media type. On top of those "let me make this small settings adjustment just because" moments.

Its really just the nature of the tech, like you said. Setting it to one or the other can yield some pretty awful results if things (HDR types) don't match up.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I've had my PS4 for 4 years now I believe. I JUST realized I can hold the PS4 button in game for the quick options menu

Has anyone ever sent equipment back to PlayStation? I had to send them back a brand new DS4 because the joystick was out of whack.

Edit: It’s being shipped backed to me so we’ll see what they did with it.
