[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 941182, member: 55987"] From what I gather when you download a game it defaults to PS4. You need to go in manually to select PS5 version of the game to download. I don't intend to get a gaming PC nor playing games on my laptop since the PS5/Xbox Series X can play games and come with a 4K UHD Blu-ray player built-in as well. Of course such a Blu-ray player cannot be compared to a standalone Blu-ray player in terms of features and picture quality. I'm banging on the superior 8K AI upscaling of the TV to do its job. After my evaluation of the Xbox Series X vs PS5 I'm inclining towards the PS5 for my upcoming Samsung Neo QLED 65-inch 8K TV The Xbox Series X has many advantages over the PS5 no doubt in areas like PC/android support, its Game Pass Ultimate, support for Dolby Atmos/Dolby Vision, Smart Delivery, Quick Resume, FPS Boost mode and Auto HDR features etc. For playing older games, best backward compatibility and cross-platform gaming at the highest possible settings then the Xbox Series X shines. However, the more advanced USB 10Gbps ports, better 4K UHD Blu-ray disc player(player outputs 12bit YCBCR444 with better picture quality), comes with WiFi 6, better DualSense controller with its many features, has 3D audio Tempest which is available via its Pulse 3D wireless headphone for games and comes with 7.1-ch surround sound, a PS5 camera and the new PSVR2, exclusive game titles etc captured my attention. Its HDMI 2.1 port also has a higher output bandwidth (40Gbps) over the Xbox 32Gbps. Also, I noticed the Ray Tracing on the PS5 offers better picture quality over the Xbox Series X in one of the YouTube videos. I have a few questions on the PS5 which I hope you can answer 1) Does it support the H.264 and H.265/HEVC video codecs? Or need a 3rd-party video converter to convert the H.264 and H.265 to PS supported video formats if I want to watch movies on the TV 2) How to playback recorded videos? The Samsung S21 Ultra handphone supports the recording of H.265 8K video and can playback (according to the Exynos 2100 CPU spec) at 60Hz. I would like to playback through the PS5. Is that possible through its USB ports which support 10Gbps? Is there an app in the UI to play videos in the first place? 2) The video link I posted above showed the game was played in 1440p@60Hz at 10:31. Can you confirm it supports the playing of 1440p games? I think the PS5 don't support 1440p OOB when launched. Was it due to a recent firmware update? 3) Does the HDMI 2.1 port supports ALLM/VRR? FI, the Xbox Series X's HDMI 2.1 port supports ALLM/VRR. 4) Do you know how's the reliability of the built-in 4K UHD Blu-ray player for both the PS5/Xbox say from previous models? Thanks [/QUOTE]
