I was wondering (before I go and potentially buy anything) if my setup would allow me to run HDR mode, or even the high frame rate mode? I am considering trading in my original PS4 for a PS4Pro but if my TV still won't be compatible then I would guess it wouldn't make sense for me to do so. Any help would be appreciated!

I used to have that TV. It doesn't have HDR capability unless you add the connect one box with the new processor. Even then, it's HDR support and not really that good at it. It doesn't get bright enough nor dark enough so it will be dim. You really need a 2016 TV to get good minimum decent HDR performance. For Samsung, starting with the k or j 8000 models, but the FALD version does it even better.

My Gamestop had them in stock last night. They are running a deal right now where you get $170 for a og ps4 and you can get $25 extra for being a power rewards member which is only $15 bucks a year. So even if you sign up there, you still net $180 trade in and get a year of their pro memberiship which is a hell of a deal considering uncharted slim bundles been selling for $249 last month. I think today or tomorrow is the last day of the deal for the trade in. I ran out last night and traded mine in while I could.

For anyone remotely interested in the Pro and is a PR member at GS, 195 bucks is probably the best deal you're gonna get for your OG PS4 outside of Craigslist.

Practically two hundy for your vanilla og PS4 is absurd.

Very nice.

Well after days of reading this thread im making the switch to the PS4 Pro...only question now is which tv to get as well...the general consensus I'm getting is a lot of you guys are rolling with the Samsung KS8000 or KS8500 models...any input will be appreciated

If you can afford the Sammy 8000 series or better, they seem hard to beat as far as image quality, features, and gaming performance
