PS5 VRR Update Speculation Thread
- Thread starter joeblow

I wish this thread title was changed slightly. Every time it's bumped I read it like it's been announced until I get to the question mark at the end.
But that's good news that Sony TV's are getting updated. I'm definitely buying a Sony OLED next time.

Yep. From needs to get their shit together and Sony should have had VRR at the PS5s launch.
Besides needing Sony releasing its VRR patch for PS5, I am going to need a new AVR that has more than a single HDMI 2.1 input. Ones out now allow for basically zero future proofing.
Haha. Thanks. It's just my little hopes kept getting squashed.
i feel like everyone keeps hanging on "once they put it in their tvs, the ps5 update will come!" and its giving sony way too much credit for having coordination between their divisions lol
i think the reality is the teams in charge of playstation firmware(and psn backend stuff) have always been pretty terrible
and its a coincidence that sony's tvs don't have vrr
very happy to be wrong. but im just fucking tired of this. they sold the damn console on a feature that they clearly didnt even have ready

The new Yamaha line has all ports HDMI 2.1, but it's in the same "waiting for the HDMI 2.1 update" limbo that the PS5 is stuck in. I have the A6A and it's an amazing receiver.
They have been coordinating more as of late.
They had the "Perfect for PS5" updates with the TVs/PS5 both getting the updates at about the same time.
Their movie and PlayStation branches have been coordinating more of course.
It has 3 and can be had at Costco for less than $500. It uses the new HDMI board, too.
I own it and it works perfectly with PS5/Series X as I have both.
Is this the waiting for adapter or new board or just firmware update?
anyone looking for a relatively cheap hdmi 2.1 receiver should keep an eye out for a denon S760H
they're 550-600 bucks most places, but costco sells them for 450. you just need to keep an eye on their site because theyre not always in stock
got mine a few months ago and couldnt be happier

Just a firmware update. The 2020 line had the botched HDMI implementation which required adapters / sending it in for service to work correctly. The 2021 line has all the necessary hardware, it just needs the update. If I recall from AVSforums, they were waiting for the HDMI 2.1 spec to be fully certified before beginning work on the firmware.
Supposedly it's coming in the next month or so.
Oh wow, for some reason I thought this model only had 1 when I last looked at it. Thanks for the heads up.

Now to convince the wife to allow me to buy this prior to us finding a house đź‘€
Thank you Transistor & futurevoid
Back to on topic. Depending how long this PS5 Firmware beta lasts, there could be SOME hope for VRR to be included in the final firmware version.

I love HDTVTest, but it's really disingenuous and clickbaity to have the PS5 in the thumbnail for this lol.
My thoughts exactly. I went into that already knowing he was trolling me.
Hoping 1440p VRR HDR 120Hz through HDMI 2.0 also comes in the same update.................................
1440p is such a small use case that I don't think Sony will ever include it. They still haven't enabled 8k and that's on the box
I thoguht it only turn off FALD, if it turns off HDR then thats terrible
It doesn't turn off HDR, it turns off local dimming. Same here.
I read 1 user comment on the AVSforum, he said his Halo infinite on series X works flawlessly in 4K HDR 120hz mode with new VRR udpate. No obvious degradation to image quality. That is the only thing I can find, will wait for HDTVtest analysis, I am sure Vincent is super excited as he paid through his nose to import the Sony Oled from the US.
