According to our console expert
The PlayStation 4 Pro is for serious gamers who expect the best graphics and performance every day. The Pro is twice as powerful as a PS4 Slim, which means you can play games in 4K, or opt for even smoother images. The image on the PSVR also looks a lot better. If you have a luxury gaming headset or surround sound system, you can connect it directly to the optical audio port. If a 4K TV is still on your wish list, the Pro also displays smoother, more detailed images on 1080p TVs and monitors.
Note: The PS4 Pro is about twice as powerful as a regular PS4. This much computing power generates heat during intensive use. For this reason, it's wise not to place the PS4 Pro in a small or locked cabinet during use. This is the CUH-7216B, which is the more silent model.

I want to be able to move forward with a console for the time being, be able to play games in 4K on the couch and not have to spend as much money as for a gaming PC. Of course I want to feel like I'm not selling myself short. But can the PlayStation 4 Pro really compete with a computer?
out of the box This is nice unpacking: everything I need is in the box. It's a matter of plugging in and going. Setup is also easy. Is of course a bit unfair, I grew up with the PlayStation. Still, the PlayStation's menu and software are very easy to use.
Who is not gone, has been seen The PS4 Pro is significantly larger than the Slim. For example, a slim just fits under my TV that is on the standard supplied foot. But the Pro… That's another story. Since the Pro is bigger than the Slim, I have to find another place for it. I also adjust my decor.
Gaming in 4K With the PlayStation 4 I can game in 4K and that is nice. Still, I have to immediately ask myself: am I going for 4K or 60 frames per second? I'm sorry, why not both? The PlayStation 4 Pro is just not powerful enough for that. I choose to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 1080p at 60 fps and FIFA 20 in 4K at 30 fps.
Bzzzzz Playing FIFA 20 in 4K, it's calm and I think "what am I hearing". There is a monotonous sound coming from the PlayStation, of the ventilation running overtime. I don't notice it when I'm playing. It doesn't really bother me.
Do we want more or less frames? More of course. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of resolution. This is how I go from 4K back to 1080p. Still, in a fast shooter, I value a higher refresh rate more than resolution. For example, the image is less blurry with fast movements and my shots are better registered in my opinion. This has a competitive advantage. And that transition from 30 to 60 fps is definitely noticeable.

I bought the PS4 Pro to replace a first generation PS4, the question that people immediately ask is; "Is the upgrade worth the price?" Of course this depends from person to person, so I can only give my opinion. Let me first mention that I currently still game on a 1080p television and therefore do not have a 4K device available for testing.
I notice a graphical improvement in several games, for example with Battlefield 1, where you get both a graphic boost (by supersampling), as well as a frame-rate boost (or let's say less framerate drops) which gives a better experience in online events. gives. For the details about this you can of course visit YouTube where many tests and the like can be found. (cfr. Digital Foundry).
In addition, the upgrade from a 500GB drive to a 1TB drive was also an advantage for me, this gave me twice as much storage for game data, so more games that I can keep on the disk.
The new Dualshock 4 controller doesn't make much difference, all functionalities are identical to the previous controller, but the thin light strip on the touchpad gives a better indication of the Dualshock's light bar. While I often couldn't see what color it was in the past, this is now clearly visible, which can be useful for some games.
In addition, the PS4 Pro is also a lot quieter under heavy use than the original PS4 system, which is also a small pro! (pun intended).
Is the above really worth the price of the PS4 Pro? For some yes, for others no. I was lucky enough to be able to recoup some of the purchase price by selling my old PS4 system, so it was for me.
If you don't have a PS4 yet and do have a 4K television (or even a 'regular' HD television), then the extra price for a PS4 Pro is definitely worth it!
This is more difficult for people who already have a PS4 system, at the moment there are not that many extreme benefits to be gained from the Pro, the future will show.
