After the release of Sony's much-awaited upgrade to the PS4, "Playstation 4 Pro" seems to suffer from compatibility issues. Game forums and social media sites have shown people complaining about blank screens and some games running on low FPS.

The choice to buy the PS4 pro seems to have backfired for other gamers, claiming that the "break-out" box you get with the system does not support High Dynamic Range (HDR) signals. The report that recently came out from Forbes states that users were instead welcomed with a blank screen, rather than a dashing 4k resolution.
