Trying to use my PS4 Pro with this TV but receiving the following message when trying to launch Horizon Zero Dawn:
"This application supports 4K HDR (high dynamic range), but it will be displayed in 2K HDR because of your TV's settings. If your TV supports 4K HDR, try changing your TV's settings.
To see the color format and HDR type of the video signal that the PS4 is sending to the TV, select [Settings] > [Sound and Screen] > [Video Output Settings] > [Video Output Information]."
When I do what it asks, I see:
Current Video Output Signal
Resolution: 3840x2160 60hz
Color Format: YUV420
HDCP 2.2
Information for Connected HDMI Device
HDR Supported
Available Frequencies for 4K Output
- Not Using HDR: 24hz, 30hz, 60hz (YUV420)
- Using HDR: 24hz (YUV422), 30hz (YUV422)
Your TV might support a higher quality color format and 4K HDR if you change its settings. Check your TV's settings.
I should note that for the TV Inputs menu > HDMI mode, it is set to HDMI 2.0 exclusively.
I am connecting my PS4 Pro to a Yahama RX-V381 receiver with an HDMI cable (which I believe/hope is HDMI 2.x but I'm not sure how to know for sure), and the receiver outputs to the TV with another HDMI cable (same belief/hope that it's HDMI 2.x).
The manual for the receiver (link
here, page 62) says that there are two modes for 4K: "MODE1" which inputs/outputs 4:4:4, 4:2:2 or 4:2:0. "MODE2" only inputs/outputs 4:2:0.
A couple of questions:
1. Is there any way I can tell definitively whether I am using the correct HDMI cables? Or can I be certain I am somehow?
I would just hook the PS4 straight into the TV and see if 4K HDR works. If so more than likely they're 2.0 cables. But, it won't hurt to buy new ones. I had issue with my TV and entertainment center wall cut outs and bought new cables even though I didn't need them in the end. Just make sure to buy the ones with the premium HDMI sticker on them. Sometimes you can look on your hdmi cables and see the version must do the time it's not on there and they just say high speed.
2. Is it possible that my receiver is just somehow incapable of passing through the HDR signal that is necessary from my PS4?
Yes
3. Is it possible this has to do with the 4K mode setting on my receiver? If so, what's the difference between 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0
in the context of my TV, PS4 Pro, and receiver showing Dolby Vision/HDR?
I don't think you can do 4:4:4 4K hdr on gaming consoles. Think it only does 4K. But, don't quote me on that. On PS4 you might want to set it to 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.
Thanks in advance ERA.
