PlayStation 4 gaming is a great way to spend some free time. If you’re like most people, you probably spend hours playing games on your PS4. However, there are times when you need to take your game play offline for some other reason. For example, if you have to work on a project at home and don’t want to risk losing your work, or if you want to use your PS4 while traveling. In these cases, connecting your PS4 to your laptop can be an effective solution.

FAQ’s
Is it possible to link a PS4 to a display through HDMI cable?
Locate the HDMI port on the back of the PS4 if your HDMI cable is double-sided (upper center). Use the other end to plug into the HDMI port on the back of the display after that end is inside the Playstation. After that, switch on the PS4 and navigate to the SOURCE or SOURCE CONTROL option using the buttons on the back of most displays. Select HDMI from there (if there are many HDMI options, go through them all).
