It downsamples the 1440p image on your 1080p display. Downsampling on 1080p displays provides a crisper, cleaner image. Closest thing to high quality AA that consoles have had.

As far as the best option, it's subjective. Some gamers prefer framerate, some prefer the image quality. It's awesome that a lot of games on the Pro offer these choices

I'm not sure I understand. Pretty sure you can't have 1440p on a 1080p tv.

But they didn't mention if they are using downsampling. Which would make the game look better on a 1080p set. (I think)

But if not, I think you're right about going with high framerate mode on a 1080p set.

Ugh. I have a Pro and 4K but no HDR. (Bought it before HDR became a thing). I wonder if I will get any benefit graphically.

The PS4 Pro will always downsample whatvever the internal rendering is on 1080p displays unless devs specifically disable that feature. Only game I know of that launched with Pro support that didn't have downsampling is Dishonored 2. A couple games got post-launch Pro patches that didn't offer downsampling on 1080p displays, like Smite and TLOU:R, but it's a pretty minute exception.

I'm glad that SCEA is following in the footsteps of some other studios as far as offering a Pro Mode option to suit everybody

Yes. Yes you will.

HDR and resolution boosts are separate benefits

I see.
I guess, we'll have to test it to see if the the downsampling "upgrade" is really worth it on a 1080p tv.

Anyway if I get the Pro I'm sure I will prefer the HFR option (unless it's not capped and we end up with framerate fluctuations even more noticeable)

Like I said earlier, I wish they would have went with 2160p(checkerboard) it would have left headroom for framerate. Horizon Zero Dawn made me a believer in 2160p(CB) because it is 95% 4k. It hurt my soul when he said 4K but Slower.

gotcha. I'm still learning about all the 4K intricacies.
