Some people on the PSEra discord server have also confirmed they can now enable it.

[Wallace Wells]

You'd have thought they'd communicate this lol

 

[AIan]

Oh hey, nice!!

 

[Letters]

That was fast.

1440p when?

 

[Kyoufu]

Awesome. Time to buy a new TV.

 

[zolee]

surprisingly quick for Sony, they probably just waited for actual devices to test it properly

 

[Teiresias]

Obviously, the firmware for the PS5 isn't going to remain as static and unchanging as the development tools apparently are.

 

[Yappa]

Woah, really? Just like that? Was that included in a recent FW update or wasn't that even required to enable it?

EDIT:

Oh, so it was part of a FW update.

 

[Oracle]

is this enabled by default or in system settings?

 

[Dantero]

Good. It's a must have if you have the tv for it. Strange the launched without it.

 

[Lashley]

Ahhhhh yiiiiiiiiiiis

 

[Mahonay]

Seems like it was something they just couldn't get ready in time for launch and other things were prioritized. That was super quick.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Amazing news! All I need now is a VRR TV.

And a ps5.

 

[gozu]

Does it require per-game support? What % of current games benefit from it?

 

[Izanagi89]

Was there a firmware update? What happened that it's enabled now??

 

[Cess007]

I remember reading this on twitter a few minutes ago, but having no source. Good for people with VRR

 

[Issen]

Well shit, that didn't take long.

 

[LGHT_TRSN]

Will this work with a TCL 6 series?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Well damn, that was fast. They haven't even updated the x900H yet.

 

[R dott B]

That was fast.

 

[JoJo'sDentCo]

What games will benefit from this right now?

[RoboPlato]

Welp now I need a new TV LOL

 

[criteriondog]

How would I go about enabling this on my CX? In LG's settings or PS5's settings?

 

[Yuuber]

How do we enable it?

 

[greengr]

four three two one VRR,VRR,V R R,troopers V R R,VRR,troopers three,Virtual Reality R,VRR

 

[SOLDIER]

So how does VRR work exactly? Does every game benefit from it or only some?

I have an LG CX. I was also wondering I'd this means I should set the input icon to PC, as apparently that enhances the VRR further or....something.

better late than never!

I still need to upgrade my tv. I was looking at these black Friday deals, but I want the top of the line so it's all the bargain bin stuff on sale. I'll wait

 

[metalgear89]

Congrats 1% enjoy.

 

[entremet]

Wait, people thought a product not even a month old would not get this updated?

 

[maGs]

Do us CX owners need to enable anything in our tv or PS5 settings? Or, does this just apply to games automatically now?

 

[brain_stew]

Really great that they resolved this so quickly.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Now let's get some NVME support please.

Syncs FPS and TV refresh rate to neutralize judder. Works everywhere but of course you only get the benefits if a game isn't FPS locked (e.g. running at sub-30FPS or running at 50-55 FPS instead of 60).
It's basically a TV version of gsync/freesync.
