The PS4 Pro is an updated more powerful version of the PS4, but is it really that much better?

With the Playstation 4 Pro, Sony added in some more powerful hardware to their game console, and added some big features. The biggest new feature for the PS4 Pro is the ability to play in 4K UHD (ultra high definition) resolution, as well as HDR. However, the regular PS4 will also get a software update to support HDR. I found the PS4 Pro to produce amazing visuals when 4K HDR is enabled; games looked great. Though if you don't have a 4K TV, you won't really get much benefit from this PS4 upgrade.

ElemoPlayz123 b you mean like 50 guys? lol
the virgins
ElemoPlayz123 b ikr im a PC/Console gamer aswell but i love all the consoles
ElemoPlayz123 b ikr im a PC/Console gamer aswell but i love all the consoles consoles more
Dislexic Potato because only nerds really care about specs n shit and nerds are normally virgins
1080p users can get better performance in games that would usually run at 30 fps you can change a setting ingame to favor higher frame rate to get 60fps which is a must in my opinion
I got the ps4 pro today😀
XxAGxX I will get it next week...
So did i
is very bad
looks like a ps3 fat been changed for ps4 pro looks
Sony only used no burned disc
meaning you can turn a ps4 disc into a usb for pc
@Alexenderrr sony fanboy 😂
Ha same
Thiojoe I understand the PS4:
Can play 4k video
Supports HDR
Has Bluetooth 4.0
Has 8Gb of Ram
But is it valid in Yugoslavia?
azeem akmal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
azeem akmal lmao
azeem akmal Lmao ThioJoe loved the comment instead of liking it.
TJ getting his sense of humor back
Tj loves ur comment
Happy ThankHoliday
ThioJoe first
ThioJoe helloooooo and you too!!
ThioJoe I like to watch your videos a lot
ThioJoe nice video
ThioJoe ps4 pro can't do 4k only 2k
i dont have a 4k tv. but i traded my old ps4 in for a discount price on ps4 pro. Was worth the money for the performance boost :)
Pro always rocks but some idiots will never understand alll jealousy... Lol
Hey Thio! I really love your videos, but I feel like they're getting kinda boring... If I look at your views you currently make, that's pretty bad for a 1M RUclipsr... Can you make your videos a bit more "dynamic"? Just some small touches like adding some background music, editing the video a bit fancier, some cool backgrouds... You have the skills and the equipment, so make the best out of it! If you need some inspiration, I could recommend MKBHD (I like how he structures his videos) or search for "FelixBa" (he's German, but he really makes awesome, inspiring stuff). I don't want you to become MKBHD or so, but just give the videos a little, fresh touch. Thanks!
(sorry for the long comment)
I will consider more ways to make the videos better. They do actually have background music but I try to keep it low so it's not distracting.
ThioJoe Thanks, I really appreciate it.
***** there's a difference between getting some inspiration (so you adopt something and make it unique in your way) and trying to be someone else
Maybe not so many views because Thio can be very opinionated, and come across as a bit arrogant? Also a bit of intolerance shows through.
Look at guys like MKBHD: mellow, easygoing, relaxed, mostly neutral in his reviews.
i need a life hack that make my ps4 too a ps4 pro
ITS CALLED PC
k
It's called a PC, with real 4K
no, a pc can't play the best games on ps4/ps4 pro. since they are exclusives. that's why i got a ps4 pro, even tho i got a $2500 gaming pc. most of the best games i've played in the last few years was on the ps4 system, had a ps4 before this pro - bought a 4k hdr tv too, looks stunning in supported games. i actually only prefer pc for 1st person shooters. ps4 have insanely good exclusives coming out next year too.. my pc will probably be collecting dust in most of 2017.
ofc it can if you know your way around programming.
To the PC guys, play Horizon Zero Dawn or Last of us Remastered on PS4 Pro on an 4K HDR TV. Compare it to one of your gaming PC games. You will not see any major difference Worth speinding $1500 or so more on a PC. BE HONEST! Yes With a high Graphic card you will get more FPS then 60 but to me not enough visually to invest in so much more money for a PC. Consoles are getting better and staying on the cheaper side. FYI all this is so dependent on the delvelopers. Weather it's the Pro or a PC it depends on if the developer took the time to use the power of the console or PC. Bottom line is I can play on my couch on a large TV and have some great game libraries and now in 4K (especially with Scorpio coming) and I don't have brake the bank to do so.
Nice explanation. Although very technical, it is still comprehensible since it is well-visualized. Thank you, Sir.
I'm guessing they didn't include 4K blu-ray cuz barely anyone will use it, and to keep cost down.
thats right. physical media is dying. my 500/500 mbit connection says hi.
No, they did not include it because the ps4 pro came out before the 4k bluray player came out
@@Therealcicigaming you're stupid xbox one s came out before the pro and has 4k bluray do some research
@@Therealcicigaming u noob go get an Xbox
I'm glad that your channel is real now because I used to always forget that your old videos were fake and I literally fell for all of them and almost half didn't work. I don't know how you made everything on this channel real now but I went back and tried the one's that didn't work before and wouldn't you know it they all now work. My internet is sooooo fucking fast now. Holy shit
LMAO
Great video. The graphics on the playstation 4 pro should look a little better on a 1080p, one thing that you didn't explain was that the pro has an additional 500GB of storage which made the purchase little more desirable, when considering a hard drive swap.
No how to get ps4 pro for free??
Good luck...
XxGAME OVERxX go to Xperia lounge and enter their contests
I got one for free with Sony Sony Rewards Points
XxGAME OVERxX You have to receive a PS4 Pro as a gift. Simple
Atell Good luck...
How is video not getting 1million views? it answers all my questions I've been looking for the past month which most youtubers don't show the technical stuff as you mentonied. You got your self a subber!
The PS4 pro has been downplayed a lot. I am very impressed with the visuals. It almost pulls me away from going on my PC for some of these action based games. HDR is a huge improvement to visuals as well.
I just got a PS4 pro in 2023 😄
GameStop had a deal that you bring your old PS4 and you get the Pro for less than half the price. I did that, and have been happy. It was quite literally a hardware upgrade, rather than me buying a new console and have the old one gathering dust as a paperweight. So far I have had zero problems with the Pro.
even if it has no UHD bluray, it can still download 4k files and play them. who the hell uses discs?
You cant compare quality. Anything you download or stream will be much lower quality than what you would get on a disc because of file sizes and bit rates.
but putting it on the disc is just the easy way out. if it was only available for streaming then ISPs would be forced to uncap users because of the file sizes.
the us internet infrastructure is really falling behind.
BTW there are many sites with UHD content that it high bitrate and large file size. youtube should be upping their default 4k bitrate as well very soon.
Brick Tamland I'm the real Brick Tamland, imposter!
Brick Tamland
no me!
Uh, rip your bluray collection to your PC and stream it? Same quality, and you can stream to any device on the network without swapping discs around. This is a gaming machine.
Excellent review, telling each person if it's worth upgrading is The most important topic in the whole PS4 Pro scenario.
WHAT!! No tips on how to turn my old PS4 into the Pro for FREE!!?? lol
Wookie Groomer i just saw that video for the first time lol the one where he says make you ps4 run better for free. haha now ive caught on to his bullshit
One ps4 is Ps4 pro is not changed just the layout
This is the best PS4 Pro review I have watched. Complete, non-banter, non-bias and I love the technical explanation you've provided. It's on point and easy to understand. Congrats, Joe.
Is it valid in India?
I'm so sorry
Goofygiggles stawp plz
Goofygiggles Actually I dont think it has released in India yet.
how are in thio Joe's every video there is "its valid in india" comment
Black Haxorus Check out his 'Are people this stupid?' video.
Awesome review!! You did a wonderful job of explaining all the technical aspects! Thanks a ton!
4K Blu-ray Player? I understand everyone's complaint but thePS4 Pro is for gaming. It would be stupid for company that sells seperate units for 4k continent as they would lose money on those products. Another thing, whole point of this system was for those consumers that have 4K tvs. It's not suppose to be the answer to hardcore PC gaming. It's main purpose is for the Consumers with 4k TV's to have a popular device that would work with there expensive purchase.
i dont have a 4k tv will my ps4 pro support in my 1080 p resolution tv?
if I have a ps4 pro and all of my friends have normal ps4s can I play with them still?
AZ7 Of course
Panda I have Xbox 360 the fat one
I have a Xbox 360 slim
AZ7 yes
Hey buddy and thanks for the video. I want to ask you something. I have the TV LG50UH635V that it supports 4K and HDR Pro. But as I can see in the specs about its panel bit depth, the value is 10 bits (8 bits + FRC). That means I supposed, it doesn't support a true 10 Bits right? Otherwise it would just write 10 Bits without the 8 Bits + FRC part. So in this case what's the best video output that I have to use on my PS4 Pro? The YUV420 or the 2160p RGB? Also about the TV settings. What's the best Picture option to use? HDR? Gaming? Cinema? In these settings I have enable the True Motion to deletion and the Super High Resolution to High. I have enabled of course the Ultra HD Deep Color in the settings. In the games that supports HDR like the God Of War, the PS4 automatically changing mode its own to HDR. But to the rest of the games that it does not support HDR, seems I have to use one of the settings I mentioned above. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.
How to turn a PS4 to a PS4 Pro?
Send it to Obama with a letter and ask for an upgrade.
something1random23 THANK YOU XD
sarabpreet singh Yes and you now need to send him a tweet.
sarabpreet singh Nah, Obama is still president for another 52 days.
Pee on it...
Awesome video. Only bit I thought you missed was that there are 4K TVs out there with 8 bit panels, right? Video suggests that 4K is always paired with HDR10
"Xbox One S is basically the equivalent of the PS4 Pro" no it's the equivalent of the PS4 Slim, the Scorpio will be the equivalent of the Pro.
Sony do sell 4K Blu Ray players that's why.. also get a cut of every Blu Ray drive sold.
Also $400 dollars to upgrade... you giving that old console away for free, derp!
Uh no, Xbox One S is definitely analogous to the PS4 Pro
The S stands for Slim you know not Scorpio :P
You have no idea what you're talking about, just stop. The S does not stand for slim. The Xbox One S is an upgraded version of the Xbox One that does 4K, HDR, etc but plays the same games, just like the PS4 Pro.
ThioJoe By upgraded you mean 4K Blu Ray which makes no difference to gaming, the only real improvement to gaming is the slightly higher clock speed on the GPU which results in what like a 1- 2FPS difference.
***** "1 or 2 ahead of others." there is only one other model... what on earth are you on about?
Great video. Thank you. I’m very tempted to get one. Is it really as loud as some people make out? Thank you Joe.
you said you have a ps4 pro but where it at doe
Dat Gta fan he literally showed it alongside it's gameplay...
Great post, subbed. I've got a base ps4, non hdr 4k tv (over two years old) and PSVR. I've been on the fence about upgrading to ps4 pro but have heard the pro increases the resolution on the PSVR. Is this the case?
Leaving the UHD Blu-ray player out of it makes a lot of sense. It probably took $80 off the price of the Pro and Sony know that by end of 2017 cheap stand-alone players will only be $100 and in 2018 you will find them in Walmart for $50.
@ThioJoe Great video! I neither have a PS4 nor a 4K TV. What TV(s) would you recommend?
Please do a video on how to upgrade the ps4 into the ps4 pro
I can tell you how, sell your ps4 then go buy a Pro lol not really any other way...
You can trade your old ps4 in at game stop and only have to pay like 200$ to upgrade
It still doesn't make sense how he has one mil and gets like under 50k views a video.
Eclipse I think this is a hobby of his that he doesn't take seriously.
Ryan Fenn how can you just not take something seriously and then get 1mil subscribers?
Possibly a lot of gullible people subbed when they saw a video they thought was real and either weren't interested in the others or discovered it was fake and forgot to unsub.
You know you can pay for subscribers, there are ways to game the system. Just like Twitter followers.
But RUclips pays money based on number of views, how long you view the video, do you click on ads.
# of subscribers means nothing when it comes to RUclips earnings.
just got a pro last night from 1080p to 4k is just really nice im enjoying it
literally bought a pro after watching this. always trust the joe.
Always trust the joe?
A few months ago, he was doing nothing but joke videos. ??
Dave Satay and every one of them worked!
Dude ! You are technically superb while keeping it simple enough for non technical folks ! First time I'm looking at your videos and it's amazing. I am subscribed.
I stopped watching him after he stopped making fake tutorials
After making tons of fake videos, how can anyone take him seriously now? And he always seems kind of pissed off in his videos.
Honestly, I had been staying away from him, when his videos were nothing but a true mislead and scam. But I might go back on watching his channel, since he stopped making fake videos and started to make some fine true content.
Im getting a PS4 Pro for my 30th Birthday This Year and Cant wait Super Excited to Play all the Great Exclusives 😍🥰
I'm a human
coolevi123 no your not, you're a Earthling
God Of Air no, i was built in space
haha lol
coolevi123 no you built in a submarine underwater
so what are you going to deliver, a nice human sausage shit
Nice, very in-depth and educational. Didn't know about that chroma subsampling yet. Thnx
3:58 he just had to add 4:2:0 😂😏
And 5:02 😂
I upgraded from the standard ps4 to the ps4 pro due to the fact that the standard one started lagging when going from game to menu and it just struggled with use. The power in the pro is definently a noticable difference esspecially if you play alot, totally worth it. Cheaper with trade in aswell ;)
PS4 PRO doesn't support Blu-ray 4K HDR
isn't it obvious that Sony wants you to make a life hack on the topic
4K Blu-ray is a joke. There are only 100 movie discs available. There are 10,000 Blu-ray discs out there.
The same could be said when Blu-Ray's started releasing when there were thousands of DVDs...
ThioJoe: the lack of a 4kBluRay Drive bothers me because 4KBluRays hold more storage than Blu-Ray discs.
So, while a dev might want to use High Quality 4k-Textures, they won't be able to fit it on the disc and therefore just upscale 1080p textures.
I'll wait for Next Gen PC Cards or an Xbox Scorpio if I want a 4k Native console. 1880p upscaled via checkerboarding hurts my eyes
another entertaining commercial. Great job
Hey there great video I'm wondering if I have the same TV is you can you post a video about the best settings to use with the PS4 or that set and additionally you know a lot about this kind of thing how about your favorite calibration settings for the TV thanks again
Is the power plug compatible for India?
Just Great get an adapter, power plug adapter ps4 to india
David hahahahahahahahahahahahahah
30 percent cpu increase is worth it even if you only have a 1080p tv.
why does everyone care about the 4k blue ray shit? like seriously, who watches movies on discs in 2016? all movies are digital... were in a digital age... the only people that acctually care about 4k blue ray is xbox fanboys because that is the only "advantage" the xbox one has
If you really think about it maybe Sony feels that disks are being phased out...??? Why waste space for 4k bluray hardware when that space can be used for more hardware for better gaming? More and more people are downloading/streaming 4k content rather than having physical versions of it so what's the point of using valuable space in the playstation for something that might not be needed in the coming years. I don't know that's just what came to my mind.
ps4 pro is supposed to be better than Xbox one s
Ernesto Colon Xbox one s is better
BOTH SHIT PC BETTER
no the Xbox 360 is better 😁
Nope, build a PC
Guys, if your just fucking arguing which is better, build a PC idiots.
do you get a free month of ps plus with a new pro?
They didn't put a bluray player in because you'd never use one.
Name a time you've watched a movie from a disk and not from Hulu or Netflix
Can you send a link to those light stands you're using? They're really slick I'd love to get some for my Hue bulbs
The hard truth is that when someone says "it is not real 4k", they have NO idea what they're talking about
Noel Mendez the 4k differnece isnt much its not worth it just buy the ps4 slim 1Tb
Hey ThioJoe. What happened to Vid Authority? Is it coming back soon?
4k is the future
I really liked you in Superbad. One of your best roles!
I bought an XBOXONE S for 250 and is a better deal, 400 dollars no backwards compatibility, no bluray player 4K, NO.
Who needs BC? Real gamers have PS3 and PS4, XBox 360 and XBox One.
Rosencrantz23ph the PS4PRO has reached its limits in performance, doesNOT do 4K basically the patches make the 4K which is different, it will not be able to hold on well the future games and the patches will drain more memory fast.
Rosencrantz23ph the only reason developers want to make games is because it sells well, but the performance has reach max, Sony keeper it cheap and rush it out to sell it before the SCORPIO as a market strategy, basically as the early bird gets the catch, but many people will feel disappointed very soon, because it drains more memory from patches and Sony is relying more in downloadable games, they minimize the cost as much possible, but that is the end result, SCORPIO will be superior by much, very easily rendering natively the 4K, and because it will have more than just 1T, it will not clutter that fast, PS4PRO is not so PRO, and when games get slightly heavier the fps will feel it when performing.
Rosencrantz23ph I guess time will tell, because I would choose performance over games, sense I play mostly a few games and want the best quality, which in this case PS4 is not for me, and maybe the SCORPIO turn things around we don't know.
Rosencrantz23ph it sells more true, but is not better, as most features are way better in XBOXONE-S and including energy efficiency, etc, if your argument is about which sells better yes you are correct, but I rather not buy a PS4 nor a PS4 PRO in order to get a real power machine superior, if it sells more or not doesn't matter because is going to be better, and the features are already superior.
I am cruising with a Pro hooked up to Sony 49 inch X900E. It is 4k, hdr, 60hz. I think it will display 1080p at 120hz, but not certain about that. I never did upgrade the Pro HDD to SSD which would be a worthy upgrade. But too late now with a PS5 on the horizon. Put that extra money towards a PS5, as soon as one becomes available. Never regretted upgrading from the base PS4, even though it is not a huge upgrade in overall performance, it is noticeable. I am playing Monster Hunter World Iceborne and the Pro does great with this visually demanding title. I do not know what frames I am getting, or the true resolution, but I know it is not 4k at 60fps. I am waiting for the PS5 to see what that looks like. But the Pro is doing pretty good! Well enough to where I am not anxious about upgrading. I can sit tight until a PS5 comes my way.
Who buys blue ray disks????????
Everyone lol
Since now it's cheaper, why not
Idk tbh.
Teddy Tedd Who doesn't?
@@TQT1995 hahaha good one
Like your review. A lot of reviews forget to talk about 4K tv without HDR (which is my situation), and just assume if you have a 4K tv it has HDR. Not so.
Sony is cheap, is trying to save money, and increasing performance as much as they can while just having 4K in patching, why because is cheaper, but is not so great.
XBone is garbage. PS4 is light years better
Rosencrantz23ph the PS4 only makes 4K games in patches, Microsoft could do the same.
As for the PRO it has reached its limits
Rosencrantz23ph let's face the facts, PRO will not be capable of having a good well performance in future games that render 4K, because it relies in patches, which means the frame rates will be lower, so basically it sells more, but right now it has reach it's limits.
I do like this legitimate, non sarcastic review. Good work Thio
well.....this channel is dying......
stats are up from last month but nice try
ThioJoe
Don't worry about the haters, I and others enjoy your real videos!
The Austinator224 He had a seperate tech channel for these types of videos. The PS4 Pro serious review on this channel is just wrong.
GPYRATE what are you talking about? I subscribed because he started doing real stuff. I don't think he's dying
well.....he's not getting as much views as before. That's why....
Excellent review, you are one of two videos I have ever found which actually explain chroma subsampling. Great work!
I have the ps4 pro
true gamer how is it? what tv do you got?
true gamer im getting it for xmas I cant wait :-)
true gamer I love my Ps4 pro
The games look so much better.
With a 4k television of course.
I don’t have 4K but switching from PS4 to pro everything looks better I am very impressed
can I have it
buy it
Don't buy this shit, get a PC.
Yocool13's Channel But a gaming pc is more expensive than a ps4!
i dont know No
Yocool13's Channel ok can you give a link to a gaming pc that cost less than 300 dollars?
I love this guy's videos. Very informative and never boring.
420
i have 4k tv, but without hdr..i wanna know if there is a big difference in game graphics? tnx :)
First like!
First comment!
Obama Meme London lol
second to comment on Naiem da Legend
Just trade in your PS4 or sell it. I got $200 for mine trade a couple games in too and you'll almost pay off the PS4 Pro by that alone.
Your reviews are amazing and highly informative. Keep it up :D
Loved the review. Especially the technical parts.
just bought an LG oled 65" curved tv and it's amazing. bought a ps4 pro but haven't opened it. I have a ps4 now. the oled upconvert my blu rays and it has built in support for amazon, Netflix and vudu to run in 4k. so the only advantage of ps4 pro is the games. the hdr looks good on regular games and I'm thinking of taking back the ps4 pro. like you, I'm baffled by lack of uhd player. thoughts? I have a backlog of 20+ games that aren't getting a ps4 pro upgrade so I don't see a point in keeping the ps4 pro. maybe next year when they add a UHD player and more games are out. thoughts?
you seem to be an expert any idea why lately youtube video's take ages to start? taking atleast 5 seconds maybe 10 showing black until they start! cant seem to find anything about it! others i know have the same issues
i think the lack of uhd blueray is justified , my main source of 4k and hdr content is netflix or youtube, and the last time i bought a dvd or a blueray movie was back in 2009. ps4 pro is a game console, that was the reason xbox one failed... they tried to make it something other than a game console. and speaking of 4k hdr
i found final fantasy xv and ratchet and clank to look amazing . i have paired my ps4 pro with a sony x8500d 4k hdr tv. And i was blown away by these 2 games, ratchet and clank looks amazing.
Does the PS4 Pro look better on 1440p than on 1080p monitor?
Does PS4 Pro play 4K movies through an external Hard disk. Is VLC player available for PS4 Pro?
happy holiday, just one thing im not sure if you mention it its 4k scaled not native
Hey, can I get this for free? Or upgrade my PS4 on the Internet with a patch or something?
Wow that's amazing! How come it seemed like the camera was higher?
You just sold me on HDR! aaaaaannnndddddd SUBSCRIBED!!!!
u don't need to use the hdmi cable in the ps4 pro box because hdmi 2 refers to the device not the cable. do u agree
Hey thiojoe should I buy one I don't have a 4K monitor
the best review, with a lot of technical information.Subscribing!!
Picked up my Ps4 Pro last night and let me tell you playing Uncharted 4 on a 65" Samsung HDR 10 enabled TV it's definitely worth it! I can definitely see myself gaming on this more than my One S! Sony's got some excellent exclusives coming out Next year so it's a great future proof system if you ask me. I love it!
FYI the Xbox One S has a UHD Blu-ray player, not just the X as stated on this video.
The first most informative video i came across thank you.
"foliage" "that's what I said: foilage!"
Very interesting description of video technology, thanks.
