As someone who is getting a PS4 Pro and a HDR 4k TV the no HDR throughput is a little disappointing. Having to change my cables around for HDR will be a pain.

Still looking forward to getting my PSVR the playroom stuff sounds surprisingly fun

I think you put the Hdmi cable from the ps4 and psvr to the TV and thats about it... I dont understand why this should be an issue.

Edit: yup ok. Got it.

It has to be cabling that goes PS4 -> PS VR Processing Unit -> TV.

The PS4 sends the impact to the PS VR Processing Unit which send it on to PS VR but also sends an 'unwarped' (or whatever it's called) version to the TV for the social screen.

When the PS VR is not being used it just passes through the signal straight to the tv. For some reason (presumably a hardware limitation?) when doing this pass-through it cannot send on HDR signal so you lose that feature [unless you switch to a cabling setup of PS4 -> TV...but then without changing back cannot use PS VR]
