Watching

• A new playback menu. Options opens one Playback sheet at the side with Sound, Subtitles, Picture and Video. Each row opens a list with the value in use ticked; it replaces the five L1/R1 tabs.
• Picture modes you can see. Each mode has a small preview of the shape it gives, and Fit names the video's own shape ("Fit · 16:9"), so a wrongly shaped stream is easy to correct. The bars around a reshaped picture stay black.
• Sharper controls. The playback controls, the live channel list and the menu are drawn at the screen's resolution whatever the stream's, in the same look as the rest of the interface. The controls show the title with its state (Paused, Buffering, Live, Replay or the speed), the programme now and next, and a timeline.
• The statistics line hides by itself. The codec, resolution and frame rate line disappears five seconds after the first picture. Touchpad + R1 shows it again for five seconds. It now also names the sound: its format, its channels, and whether the console's decoder or software plays it.
• Pictures sooner. The first picture of a channel or a film, and the picture after every seek, appears about 0.4 s sooner.
• Button shapes everywhere. The guide, the category and folder lists, On Demand, search, sharing, Sources and phone pairing show the PlayStation button shapes instead of writing the buttons out.

On Demand

• Newest first. Each category, Browse all and an On Demand search list the provider's latest movies and shows first. Filter and sort (R3) also offers Title A-Z, Title Z-A, Newest year and Highest rating; a show's episodes stay in order.

Sound

• DTS. Films and channels whose sound is DTS play it, in stereo or 5.1; a DTS-HD track plays its core. They used to be silent.
