Extra Testing:
If I missed any let me know!
Edit: Added the IGN review which was actually pretty good! Tested it at a cafe outside with their PS5 back at home on WiFi and the experience was good according to the reviewer.
Edit 2: Added Kinda Funny but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll update my comment below if there is any new info worth adding to my TLDR.
Edit 3: added an extra testing section where SpawnPoiint tested the USBC port for Ethernet and USBc wireless dongles
Yeah, to be honest, when you look at the remote play settings that are available, since HDR is one of them, I was hoping that the portal would support all of the possible features. The lack of HDR is definitely a little disappointing.
Considering how well HDR works on my phone I was shocked it wasn’t supported on the portal. Especially because the move from h264 to HEVC makes the connection so much more stable and higher quality
