The first step in optimizing your TV for PS5 Pro is to make sure that your TV isn't set to its energy-saving mode (sometimes labeled "Eco mode"). You can read all about these features in our guide on how to disable Eco mode, but doing so will ensure that your TV isn't adjusting the picture automatically based on ambient lighting conditions.

After living with the PlayStation 5 Pro for a few weeks, I'm still using my regular old PS5 more than I expected to.

Sony's new PS5 Pro lacks a vertical stand and a disc drive, unlike the PS5 Slim Standard model that retails for $499. If you were to add a vertical stand and a disc drive to the PS5 Pro to fairly compare it to the PS5 Slim Standard, its price jumps up to $810 — over $300 more than the PS5 Slim Standard.
