Does it fix the black screen for PS4P. I can't play unless I'm using 1.4a HDMI mode...

It seems you have a new 4k TV. Older 4k models do give you a black screen. It happened to me, but ran my Pro on Safe Mode and chose 2160p YUV instead of automatic and it worked. PS4 Pro is freaking awesome

I have a 2016 4K OLED and I have a black screen. Thousands of others do too, even some on Sony TVs. Just because it's not happening to you doesn't mean it's not happening, stop being an ignorant child and let people who need to voice their concerns and issues do just that, without diluting the conversation with your fanboy delusions.

No, this update does not address the issue at all. Sickening stuff.

EDIT: This issue apparently lies with TV manufacturers more than Sony. LG are releasing a firmware update at the end of the month to resolve this issue for their customers. I'm satisfied. Besides, HDR gaming works fine with HDCP 1.4, the issue lies with any other apps depending on HDCP 2.2 (Netflix, Youtube, Twitch etc.).

@Sparta
People like you are embarrassing to the gaming community. Because he had an issue with the PS4 and 4kTv doesn't mean he don't own it. I had the very same issue with the PS4 Pro along with plenty of others.I actually wrote up a fix on the Sony Forums: http://community.us.playsta...

I was actually 4.06 fixed the issue because I can't turn my PS4 Pro off completely I have to keep it in stand by mode to boot it up without getting black screen. However, I have to 4ktvs a 55 inch LG and a 65 inch Sony. The Sony works fine of course but the 55 inch LG is my gaming tv the Sony is my Bedroom tv. Both are mid 2016 models. And the issue has to do with what the PS4 Pro is looking for and what the LG tv is sending when it comes to HDR. (they are both coded differently).

So before you accuse someone of not having anything, keep your mouth shut or simply ask them. And the 18 people who agreed with you are idiots as well. Not everyone is a troll.

Is your TV hdr, if so change that hdmi to 2.0a. On top of that the 2.0a does 60hz the 1.4 does 30hz. Change that.

If you run it on safe mode and choose
2160p YUV420 You should be able to run it HDCP 2.2 I had the same issue but was able to fix it this way. Leave HDCP settings on automatic

You can shut alot of people up by just providing proof that you own one. Judging by your comment history I can see why many doubt you.

If you don't prove your ownership of the device these reactions to any of your comments where you claim that you own a Pro are just going to continue.

You don't have to do anything crazy. Just provide a non manipulated photo of your system and a simple piece of paper with your user name signed on it. That will prove that you have access to a Pro in some way.

Also why buy a slim shortly before launch and trade it in for a Pro?

Seems a bit weird to me but maybe you have a rational explanation.

I posted the other day I bought one from Target for $311 using a Target Wish list 10% + 15% registry card + 5% redcard + 2% ebates. What is so hard to understand. I am a gamer not a fanboy. I enjoy Playstation. I enjoy Xbox. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Live a little and stop worshipping plastic boxes.

Because I found a better deal...

I'm only trying to help you. I personally believe that people can stop worshipping certain plastic boxes and can go to loving gaming as a hobby in general.

You have to realize that after so many years of being negative towards PlayStation and especially towards the Pro some people are not going to believe that you've changed.

What none of us want is another Rookie_Monster in N4G. We really don't want to deal with someone who constantly stealth trolls PlayStation and then claims that he isn't biased towards the brand because he owns one. And then his proof of ownership is proven false again and again.

It's not you it's the fact that some people (most of N4G) don't want to deal with someone like that ever again. So it's normal for some people to react that way to your comments where you state that you own a Pro.

Yep and it's not a manipulated photograph either.

That's enough to stop most people from harassing you.

That wasn't so difficult to do now was it?

:)

Thank you for proving that you own one.

If anyone doubts you just use those pictures to prove that you own one. You did alot more than Rookie ever did.

Anyways congratulations on being able to get one. Hopefully you'll enjoy the many great exclusives that the system has to offer.

I see that you already have Uncharted 4. What other games do you have for the system?

I personally recommend Bloodborne and Ratchett & Clank.

Ive had every playstation but the vita. My favorite was psone...my room mate broke my ps2...GREAT system...I bought a ps3 phat off craigslist...loaded 3.55 cfw and games but it YLOD...before I cold play UC or TLOU. Didn't like the PS3 library much otherwise. Ps4...just seemed like the right time. A lot of great 1 player games.

I'm 30 so I know all about PS.

darthv723472d ago

@343... "Didn't like the PS3 library much otherwise." this is why you got so many disagrees on this particular comment. I guess you really didnt have time to explore the PS3 library with getting the unit and putting a custom fw on it and then having it YLOD and all.

Should you decide to get a PS3, you would not be disappointed with its library. And considering its the only way to really play PS3 games at your leisure then i suggest you invest in another and this time... try not to use custom fw and stick to the legit path.

Oh, a few games i'd suggest would be the motorstorm series, heavenly sword, the resistance series, infamous 1 & 2... basically games not available to the PS4 or 360.

Sounds like you have bad luck with PlayStations. Hopefully nothing will happen to your PS4 Pro because it really is a nice system.

It's unfortunate that there's compatibility issues between your TV and your Pro. Hopefully they will get fixed soon.

Same thing happened to me. Had to switch to 1.4. Using a brand new Sony Bravia X930D. The weird thing is, it didn't happen for the first week I had it.

Plug your pro into another TV and boot it up in safe mode. Go to HDCP and set to 1.4. Then start your PS4 and to settings then click system. Unselect the HDCP button. Then turn your PS4 off.

Plug your pro into the tv with a black screen. Then turn the HDCP to automatic. Start your PS4 up and it will run. Then go to settings then system. Recheck the box for HDCP. Go to your video settings and check the status. You shouldn't have 4K and HDR.
