One of the most popular questions among the buyers of PS4 Pro is “Can PS4 pro play 4K movies?” Of course, PS4 Pro can play 4K movies and games only if it is connected to a 4K compatible display as well as a 4K compatible HDMI cable. However, the PS4 Pro doesn’t support a 4K UHD Blu-ray; it can only support the regular HD and 3D Blu-rays along with ordinary DVDs.
So, now you can purchase your PS4 Pro without giving a second thought about 4K movies.
Features and Upgrades of PS4 Pro
The vital feature which differentiates PS4 Pro from PS4 is that the Pro version endorses 4K videos. Initially, you need to understand that the Pro version won’t allow Blu-ray discs; which is a conscious decision taken by Sony (nowadays watching discs are outdated and rarely used.)
When PS4 Pro is connected to a 4K display it is compatible with 4K UHD; which is 3840 by 2160 pixels – much higher than standard HD.

Most people find it complicated to play 4K movies on PS4 Pro but in reality; it is way too simple. For that, you just need to follow certain steps. Read on to know more about it.
As we have discussed you should have a 4K display that supports HDMI intakes. Use only the premium high-speed HDMI cable. Now you are ready to know the steps about how you can play 4K videos on PS4 Pro.
Firstly you have to change the settings of your 4K TV:
