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).
