Lolll... It's NOT going to look that much better on a 1080p tv.. HDR is going to be the most noticeable difference and 1080p tvs do not support it. Let's not false advertise. At most you'll get more stable framerate. 90% of the general people won't notice a huge resolution difference. I mean if you're one of those dudes that clearly see a difference between 1080p on PS4 and 900p on XONE on certain games than yeah you'll notice it. But you're in the minority. If framerate is important for you, then I'd jump on this.
IMO unless you have a 4k HDR display, pass on this for now until the inevitable slim version. By that time you'll probably have a 4k set and you'll be able to fully enjoy this. But if you have disposable income and don't give af do you. The price is actually very reasonable and if you sell your current PS4 you're probably only paying 200 for it. Not bad at all.
It is going to look better.
I've been gaming on my 1080P TV for years, playing some older PC games downsampled from 4K to 1080P and it is VERY clean. Virtually no jaggies, no shimmering and not to mention the other visual benefits certain games will have(better draw distance, foliage, higher resolution textures, higher quality visual effects etc.)
That's not even mentioning the other benefits such as VR super sampling/graphics boost
It will vary game by game but saying it's misleading to say it'll look better on PS4 Pro... is misleading itself.
Plus down the line when you do get a 4K tv you'll already have the Pro.
Next week PS4 Pro embargo gonna be up and there's going to be loads of info/videos/pics to speak for itself at the PS4 Pro event in London.
I already know what to expect .
but hey do what y'all wanna do
Gonna be
on the Pro when FFXV releases.
