If you’re looking for a real HDR signal that isn’t compressed, this just doesn’t seem to be possible with the PS4 Pro given HDMI 2.0’s current bandwidth limits, regardless of if you select 2160p RGB or YUV420 in the console’s video output settings. When the PS4 Pro is set to 2160p RGB video output it’s not capable of true 10-bit HDR10 colour because of HDMI 2.0’s current bandwidth limitations - the HDR data is then compressed to 8-bit. This cuts bandwidth roughly in half and allows displays featuring HDMI 1.4 ports to still output a full 60Hz 4K video signal.Ģ160p RGB, on the other hand, doubles YUV420’s data transfer bandwidth and is known as uncompressed ‘ Chroma 4:4:4.‘ This mode is only supported by televisions that feature HDMI 2.0, according to the often-reliable source of all things painfully technically complicated, Digital Foundry. While both display options output at a 4K resolution, YUV420 compresses the console’s colour to what’s known as ‘ Chroma 4:2:0,‘ and is designed for 4K televisions that don’t feature HDMI 2.0 - it’s for older TVs that support the HDMI 1.4 standard. The PS4 Pro features two 4K video output options the standard PS4 is not capable of: 2160p YUV420 and 2160p RGB. Join me on a journey through the current horrible state of 4K HDR gaming (the actual solution I found to this issue is at the end of the story). I’ve spent countless hour troubleshooting the PS4 Pro’s black screen issue and below is what I’ve managed to figure out.
In terms of official comment, both Samsung and Vizio seem to blame Sony for the problem, while Sony says TV makers are the cause of the issue, leaving the consumer to try to fix things on their own. You also likely own either a Vizio or Samsung 4K television, given that most of the countless online threads surrounding this issue focus on TVs from those two manufacturers (I have seen reports of TVs from other manufacturers suffering from similar issues, too). If you’re like me, you recently went through this unnecessary ordeal with the PlayStation 4 Pro. You spent a silly amount of money on a 4K television for a reason.
