"Screen Tearing" appeared after the PlayStation 5 update, here is the solution..

Sony released the update 2.01-05.00.00.40 for the PlayStation 5 which brings a lot of improvements, but users started complaining about the appearance of cracked screen problems associated with the VRR feature.

It seems that the new update for the device lays the foundations for the VRR feature that will arrive, according to what Sony informed us today, in the coming months. Which caused a screen tearing problem to appear for some users who own screens that support HDMI 2.1. Quoted from the PSU website .

 

When you turn on the PlayStation 5 after installing the new update 2.01-05.00.00.40, the system will activate the VRR feature on your screen if it supports HDMI 2.1. Which will require you to intervene manually to turn off the activation of the feature.

To solve the problem: Through your TV, enter the HDMI inputs settings menu, and then go to the input that you use to connect the PlayStation 5 with the screen, and choose to deactivate the VRR feature.

VRR technology is coming to PlayStation 5

Sony confirmed that it is working on preparing support for the VRR feature through a dedicated PlayStation 5 update. This update will be released sometime this year, but no specific date has been set.

The PlayStation 5's Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) works with TV and computer monitors that support HDMI 2.1. VRR will dynamically synchronize the screen refresh rate with the graphics output rate of the PlayStation 5. This will improve the visual performance of PlayStation 5 games by reducing or eliminating visual problems, such as screen tearing.

You can choose to enable the variable refresh rate feature on unsupported PlayStation 5 games. This feature may improve video display quality for some games. But in case this results in any unexpected visual effects. You can turn off this option at any time through the settings menu.

Sony also confirmed that some games will be updated to support the VRR feature on PlayStation 5 devices. The lists of supported games will be revealed in conjunction with the launch of the feature in the coming months.

Sony will reveal the exact date of providing the new system update for the PlayStation 5 with variable refresh rate support later this year 2022, without revealing a specific date.
