Engadget Review
The PlayStation 4 Pro is the most powerful home console yet, though you’ll need a 4K/HDR TV to truly take advantage of it. If you already have a PS4 and are stuck with a 1080p, you can wait before upgrade.
If you already own a PS4 or your TV maxes out at 1080p, you can wait to upgrade.
