This may be a dumb question, but does the Pro upscale standard PS4 games to 4K the way X1 S does?
Btw, I think someone should redo the first post and add information about the system.
That is a good question. I mean, the TV will do it, obviously, but I don't remember them saying anything about having a hardware upscaler.
Q: What benefits does PS4 Pro provide when played on a non-4K HDTV?
PS4 Pro offers benefits even if you play on a HDTV that isn’t 4K. Depending on how the developer chooses to use the increased processing power, games with PS4 Pro support are able to render higher or more consistent framerates, increased environmental and character model detail, improved overall visual quality, and other related visual enhancements. For a look at how games are using the power of PS4 Pro, watch some of the first game footage
on our YouTube page.
Additionally, PS4 games that render below native 1080p (maximum quality for HD TVs) on the standard PS4 can be elevated to render at full native 1080p on an HDTV.
See below for a chart detailing how PS4 Pro will display based on different TV types.
