My experience before the patch was that I couldn't handle the blur from the 2160p output, so I set my PS4 Pro to 1080p. I was using HDR on. My experience after the patch, is that the blur is improved, though not fully fixed. I've posted some ingame screen shots. It's hard to compare, especially because the 1080p scenes have dynamic fog, where the 2160p scenes are clear and bright. Anyway, take a look. What do you think? 2160p from the PS4 Pro. HDR OFF. Sharpness on TV at 100. This is 1080p from the PS4 Pro. HDR off. Sharpness on TV at 80. Unfortunately, dynamic lighting brought in some fog so comparisons become more difficult, but you can still compare details on arthur:

We can still give feedback about the games image quality, since it impacts the online experience as well as the single player experience.

Has anyone tried playing the game pre-patch? Is the blur still there? Screenshots? I'm wondering if rockstar messed up the 2160p render with the launch game update.

I'm not saying it's a solution. I'm just showing that it's an improvement, imo, switching to 1080p, and it's a workaround for those frustrated by the 2160p blur and yet still wanting to play. I agree that rockstar should fix it.

I, like you all, have been annoyed by the lack of enhanced graphics on the PS4 Pro. It boggles my mind how this could have even happened. The first example of a developer making the visuals for their game WORSE on the pro. And which developer does it? The one with huge resources, staff, and who spent 8 years developing the game? Wow. Anyway, I have found that changing the output to 1080p sharpens the image. Of course, this is not a fix. Rockstar should fix it. But, set to 1080p on a 4k TV with upscaling: I think it looks pretty damn good. I also have the HDR on. I find the lighting to be better, but I set the HDR level to 250-300, despite having an LED TV. The recommended 100 level seems to dark for me. Also, I increase my TVs sharpness way up to 70-80. This really makes the details on arthur pop, I find. Here are a couple snapshots taken with my Samsung S8+. The first one shows the 1080p output image, and the second shows the checkerboard 4k image. I prefer the first. I think the textures on the walls in particular are much clearer and sharper with the 1080p image. 1080p Image, with high sharpness on TV. Checkerboard 4k, with high sharpness on the TV:
