Connecting PS4 to PC Monitor (DVI/ VGA)
Connecting PS4 to PC Monitor (DVI/ VGA) - blank screen problem & audio
One problem connecting PS4 to a PC monitor is that most of these monitors (at least not the latest or expensive one) only have DVI & VGA port. It has put me through a numbers of hours what has went wrong? Why didn't the screen show - just blank?
What did I use?
What are the hypothetical NOT True Reasons you may get to trying to troubleshoot?

What did I use?
- I bought a HDMI-DVI converter as image attached & use it with a HDMI cable
- What i get? This adapter works with my mac mini but not PS4.
- On PS4, blank screen. After safe mode resolution reset to 480, see PS logo for 1 second then blank screen again.
What are the hypothetical NOT True Reasons you may get to trying to troubleshoot?
- Unchecked "Enable HDCP" in PS4 System setting
- Is the adapter failing to response to a HDCP handshake?
- Is my monitor HDCP compliance?
- Go into safe mode to restore the PS4 to 480p resolution so all screen type fits
- DVI got DVI-I & DVI-D - am i using the right adapter?
What I learned from my experience - Conclusion?
- Buy a ONE-PIECE cable with both end Male HDMI-to-Male DVI (do not use a cable plus a converter)
- It is not necessary to have an active adapter with power supply
- An adapter piece which required more than one item to connect PS4 & PC monitor is likely treated as you trying to pirate copyright content e.g. from Netflix, Hulu etc
- My Netflix/ Hulu works like normal
DVI only carry video - what about audio?
- Just connect earpiece or speaker via the remote controller 3.5mm jack.
- Bluetooth Speaker is not supported (Tested with Beakon speaker)
