Common misconception.

All standard HDMI cables are built the same actually. A HDMI cable that came out in 2007 can transport 4k signals with HDR as long as its of sufficient gauge to maintain the distance the signal has to travel. You just need to make sure the cable is a high speed full bandwidth cable.

The difference in HDMI compatibility is at the ports, not the cable. Most people do not know this, which is why the exotic HDMI cable market is so lucrative.

this is my thoughts exactly bro.. usually people are mistaken the ports version with the cable version..

the annoying problem ps4 pro owners has if they have a VR headset .. must bypass the VR box to play any HDR 4k games..

I have to switch cables everytime i want to switch between VR and normal gaming..

Yes it's a silly design flaw. But fortunately I have a receiver with dual HDMI outputs, so I got around this issue pretty easily.

PS4 Pro > Receiver > HDMI 2.0a input > HDMI 1 out to TV > HDMI 2 out to PSVR box.

All I need to do is switch between the HDMI outputs on my remote depending on what I'm playing. Certainly a million times more convenient than changing cables.

Also understand that the HDMI port is very easy to damage and it has a very low certified number of times (around 300) it can connect/disconnect before it starts to fail. So please know that changing cables each time is not a permanent solution, either your PS4 or PSVR HDMI port will fail in due time.

thanks for clarification.
so the bundled hdmi cable should be sufficient, no need invest in those premium expensive cable?

expensive and cheap cable..performance are the same actually, because hdmi is digital signal.. 1's and 0's.. not like those old Svideo ,RCA cable where usually expensive cables are properly shielded from noise..

for a short length cable, get a cheap one if you can..

No, not unless you need to do a long run. The cable is just within enough for 4k HDR, 8 bit with chroma 4:4:4 but only within its length. If Sony were to include the same exact cable but with a longer length, then it will be trouble.

No problem.

Now my next problem is how am I going to have separate signals for a projector and TV. Don't want to use a splitter/switch because they add unnecessary latency.

Gahd damn sony.

at sony store the curve..stock came in 6 units yesterday, all reserved for full payment PO only.

PO with full payment on 20 Nov, the staff said if i willing to pay full amount and confirm will get my console within 2 weeks.

imho for those who pre-order with sony store or sony centre are more reliable come to other PAD.

I'll be heading to Bangkok in a week. Anyone have any idea if there's a better chance to get a PS4 Pro there instead? I can't read Thai so I can't google to see if their situation is better than us with our dear Sony Malaysia. I never really care about warranty anyway so I'm not too worried about that part of things.

Well, why not give it a try. I doubt you have anything to lose. Who knows, you might end up like some of the posters here posting photos of their newly obtained Pros on the forum smile.gif
