Well it took about a whole day of processing on YouTube, but our 4K Ultra HD next-gen NBA 2K21 graphics comparison is now live. We show off NBA 2K21 in three different ways, and do a little example of HDR color correction as well.

So in the video, you can see how NBA 2K21 looks on the PS4 Pro, and then you can see how NBA 2K21 looks on PS5 with the HDR on and then with the HDR off. Right now, the PS5 only allows you to have one base HDR setting that you tweak in the menu of the console. This might not be the best solution for every game as some like NBA 2K21 could also stand to have their own game-specific setting to better tweak how 2K looks.

On top of that, some just feel NBA 2K21 looks better with HDR off. I somewhat agree with that assessment, but I show off how the visuals look side by side in a more “perfect” setting to at least show off a comparison that is about as true as it’s going to get.

Let me know which version you think looks best. Also be sure to actually set the YouTube resolution to 4K so you can see all the details.

If you like the video, please feel free to like and subscribe. We’re getting close to 9K subs and that’s pretty dope so thanks everyone!
