I'm thinking of buying a ps4 but is it worth paying an extra £50 and getting the ps4 pro if you don't own a 4k tv.

Had my PS4 for years - if I was buying a new one, I'd say the extra £50 is worth it. Sony reckon it has a "30% CPU and 100% GPU boost over the PS4 and PS4 Slim and its extra 1GB of RAM is specifically for non-gaming functionality so the full 8GB can be reserved for your gaming at all times". Plus you might get a 4k TV at some point, so one for the future if you keep the PS4 for a while. For £50 - definitely.0

Can't say I'd heard of that issue, but as I haven't been looking at PS4 pro's, I wouldn't have. If that's going to be an issue for you, then you've answered your own question really..0

Plenty of PS4 Pros don't have the coil whine issue and you'll only ever hear from those who do suffer from it. Even if you don't have 4K the turbo mode is worth having. It certainly feels smoother than my PS4 Slim did and out of my friends who are all on PS4/Slim I'm usually the first to be loaded into new levels. If you're planning on doing VR you want the pro.
There has been a "version 2" PS4 Pro released a month or so ago which runs a bit quieter than the first one.0 -
It's gotta be pro.
£50 extra is only £1 per week for a year.
If it whines, kick it and take it back within 30 days for a non whiner.
Good luck.

For the sake of £50 i'd go for the Pro. It'll always be worth £50 more than a PS4 come resale time.0

Getting an updated version of anything is always a better option. So PS4 pro has many new features. It will definitely be worth.0

I had a PS4 and a PS4 pro on a side by side comparison for Monster Hunter World.... did not really notice any difference in performance or visuals..... Both screens where 4K XB271HKs. (4k did not work from the PS4 pro as the HMDI version is 1.4 on these displays)0

Even without having a 4K monitor, you are still going to benefit for any of the games that allow faster frame-rate. You then also future proofed it a little for any time you get a 4K TV in the future.0
