All ps4 have this port but not all monitors have it. It is essential to know that your monitor must have an HDMI port. But do not fret if there is no HDMI port you can always use an adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HDMI_port\"><\/span>HDMI port:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a simple step-by-step procedure that you can use to connect PS4 if your monitor has an HDMI port:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Make sure your monitor and PS4 devices are powered off.<\/li><li>Get an HDMI cable.<\/li><li>Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the PS4.<\/li><li>The other end should be plugged into the monitor.<\/li><li>Turn on both devices i.e. PS4 and monitor.<\/li><li>Customize the setting you want on the PS4 and enjoy gaming on your monitor.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VGA_port\"><\/span>VGA port:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, all you have to do is use a VGA-HDMI converter cable instead of an HDMI cable. The converter should be HDCP compatible and have an audio line as well. After making sure you have the right cable follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Turn off your monitor and PS4.<\/li><li>Get the HDMI end of the cable and connect it to the PS4.<\/li><li>Connect VGA end to monitor VGA port.<\/li><li>Turn on PS4 and press the \u201cpower\u201d button for 10 sec so it can recover.<\/li><li>Connect the PS4 controller using a USB cable.<\/li><li>Turn on the monitor and set it to 720p or 1080p according to your screen resolutions.<\/li><li>Finally, your monitor and PS4 are now connected. Proceed to play games and have fun.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the PS4 and PC have different resolutions. Set the level to 720p if your system specifications are less than 1080p. If you try to increase the resolutions then, your monitor will display a black screen, and you\u2019ll have to connect it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DVI-HDMI_cable\"><\/span>DVI-HDMI cable:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a budget-friendly way, you can use an HDMI-DVI cable instead of a VGA adapter. That is possible if your monitor features a DVI port. The sole disadvantage of this method is that DVI can not carry audio signals. Therefore, you might need to consider getting a soundbar with optical output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Make sure both devices are powered off.<\/li><li>In the PS4 HDMI port, connect the HDMI end of the cable.<\/li><li>Connect the other part of the cable to the DVI port in the monitor.<\/li><li>Turn on your devices.<\/li><li>Test the volume and you are set to play games.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_you_do_not_have_a_soundbar\"><\/span><strong>If you do not have a soundbar:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, you need three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>HDMI to composite converter&nbsp;<\/li><li>HDMI cable<\/li><li>Composite cable<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the steps you need to follow to connect PS4 to monitor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Turn off the monitor and PS4.<\/li><li>Put the HDMI cable\u2019s one end in the PS4 and the other in the converter\u2019s HDMI port.<\/li><li>Connect the HDMI converter to the USB power supply that is in HDMI to the composite converter<\/li><li>Put the composite cable into your monitor following color codes.<\/li><li>Turn on both devices and you can play all you want on the monitor display!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_connect_the_PS4_controller_to_your_monitor\"><\/span><strong>How to connect the PS4 controller to your monitor?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To play on the monitor smoothly, you need to connect the PS4 controller to the monitor as well. Unlike the procedure of connecting a PS4 to a monitor, you do not need to get into any plugging or connecting sort of work. But you do require programs like a Bluetooth-enabled computer or Bluetooth dongle, DS4Windows software, and PS4 Controller. Just download DS4 software and you are good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect using wireless Bluetooth for wireless connection. Or you can opt for a micro-USB cable for a wired connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\"><strong>How do you connect a PS4 controller to a PC?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the Bluetooth settings on your monitor and find the controller device.
