Vince, when I was younger I used to always watch your videos because I thought it was interesting. But now this is the first time I've ever used your vids for technical help. I just wanna say thank you for all the entertainment and joy you've brought me, and also I could never have figured out this VGA problem if it wasnt for you Vince. Thank you so much and take care.
Howdy from Tennessee, USA. You saved me with this video man. I have a 1080p 90inch tv that was hit by lightning and the hdmi input was no longer working but the VGA input was working great. Stopped me from getting rid of a perfectly good giant tv to run my PS4 on. Really appreciate that my guy!
Same man, my tv got striked by a lightning too and only the vga input is working..but when I did a research, I found that my 55 inch tv motherboard was really cheap..gonna replace it soon.
This is just perfect! Worked instantly on my LG FLATRON W1943C VGA Monitor. I have tried like everything, nothing was working. But, after connecting hdmi switcher and giving 5V power supply, it just works instantly. Using it for about 3 hours now, works like a charm. Thank you so much - you are just awesome!
My Mate VINCE i found hdmi splitter not switch with 5v power supply would it work ? i just need to connect my ps4 to one monitor i don't have many consoles i didn't buy it yet because i don't know will the splitter work like the switch or what

Thanks for this. I had the hdmi to vga adapter but was having no joy. Had a spare hdmi splitter but wouldn't have thought of putting that on as well. Works perfect now.
Thanks a lot.I tried with more than one monitor and more than one adapter but nothing was working. So i tried searching on google and the first result was your video. It helped me a lot
My Mate Vince thousand and millions of thanks to u this is the best method to play ps4 on pc monitor........ thank god i watched this video otherwise i would hve lost hope.....this method works 100% i hve been using it and had not a single issue while playing my ps4..... once again God bless you mate....!!!!!!
So the main trick here is to have to power the converted signal, which is a common misunderstanding among people (like me at first) trying to connect their VGA monitors to the PS4. I was so confused the first time i bought the cheap HDMI to VGA converter which didn't have additional power support and was wondering why it won't work. Thanks for the video, mat, luckily I already had the HDMI switch so I didn't have to wait and buy another converter, just didn't thought that the converter had to be powered.
Damn, just got my converter and switch today and it all works perfect, even in 1080p, so I’ve got my switch and PS4 connected to the HDMI switch, thanks!
Thank u so much bro, i was getting fckng mad because i bought the VGA HDMI adapter and waited 1&half months for it and it wasnt working, luckly i already had the HDMI switch. Thumbs up
Hi. I would like to thank you alot. I did everything you explain. And today i buy every cable that you have shown in your video and it was perfect. I am now playing my ps4 on my old pc monitor. Thats awesome.
Thank you so much bruv. At first I was wondering what did I do wrong with my setup. Turns out I was plugging the power lead of the HDMI switch on the IR slot, and not on the DC 5V slot. After slotting it correctly, it works like a charm.
Yeah but its cheaper to to do this at first I also thought that I will buy a monitor now I changed my mind cause my parents don't like to spend their money for my gaming
great video easy to follow.. wish every video from some of the less informative youtubers who spend to much time talking without showing how to.. was good and easy to follow..congrats..
Thank you sir i found all items on eBay and we will order them soon but until that i will play on Full HD TV so i will watch ur tutorial like 30 times. P.S Sorry for my bad English. Cya!
actually you dont need a HDMI switch on this thing, PS4 is just not providing enough power to the HDMI adapter that's why its doing that. I confirmed this by plugging the adapter directly on my laptop and see the HDCP status, and it yes HDCP is Activated on the adapter alone. what I did is that since my HDMI adapter have a micro usb port on it for separate power, plug it in on a USB charger and then tried again on PS4, this time it worked. for those who were interested what adapter I used, its a Vention HDMI to VGA adapter. its only 5bucks shipped.
This is amazing! But if you want to save money, you can buy a HDMI to VGA adapter with audio thing that converts the HDMI signal into analog signal (VGA signal)
I ordered the stuff off Amazon and got it but for some reason in the middle of playing a game the monitor turns black and on again out of nowhere....sometimes it does that like 3× a minute.....what can I do?
Ive got the same problem, but the solution for was to put the hdmi cable from the ps4 into input 1. I was experiencing the problem on any other input except no 1
Nice Video!! Just out of curiosity, will the quality be the same, better or worse? Some games require full HD via HDMI so i was wondering iif they will work?
Guys just an update on this video, only buy the adapter if your monitor has a headphone jack. If your not bothered about the speakers just buy a hdmi to vga cable for about £8.00 ($10) which still allows you to use headphones. Even still, if you really want speakers just plug them into your controllers headphone jack via aux and you’ll still get a perfectly good sound! Also if you want a mic with that just get a mic to headset spliter :)
Thank you so much, I bought an AOC 2013 monitor, it was only £15 just to play some games as I was given a ps4. I got an adapter and it was only working for my laptop and not the PS4 I will order these now. Thanks
@@Bungeee03 Tbh, I don't know enough about generating an HDMI signal, but I know that i don't need a switch when connecting my PS3. I do need 1 to connect an Xbox 360 and PS4. I also just plug the switch's powerleed (?) in the console to power it. I'm glad it works though with this workaround.

Hello Vince. I have a question that i need to know if it's easy for you please. For any possible language mistakes i'm sorry 'cause I am Greek. So, How to Connect the PS3 to a VGA Computer Monitor? Is it the same way shown in the video or just a simpler method than this?
Hi, i have a question i have a simple HDMI bidirektion switch without that 'DC5V' so my question is if im gonna do everything like you said in your video just without that 'hdmi switch dc5v' adapter if that's gonna work or not?
You don’t need a HDMI switch. Just buy a HDMI to VGA adapter with a micro USB port and connect it to your PS4 and monitor. Then get a micro USB cable and plug it in the port on the adapter and connect the other side to a smartphone charger or in the PS4 USB port. This worked for me and it’s probably cheaper as well.
I have an issue where the screen keeps flicking on and off any ideas? Solved the issue: tossed the factory hdmi cord and replaced it with a kolife cord. Guess there really is a difference between cheap and expensive hdmi cords
boi no I had my ps4 plugged into the hdmi for a projector and my cat managed to rip it out of the ceiling so the hdmi port got screwed so I decided to start using the vga instead
Hi.I have an lg flatron...Its resolution is at 1680x1050 and i want to connect my ps4 in it the same way you do on this video...However i have seen in the market 2 kinds of hdmi switches...The one is the same as the one you use in the video and the other one is alsi similar,however says 1080p on it...Will it do the work as this one yours or im going to have problem with it?
Doing something similar but without the hdmi switch. You don't actually need it BUT you need to boot the PS4 when you hook it up the first time on safe mode and select 'change display' which will switch the PS4 to just force the hdmi signal to non compliant display devices (you can actually hear the PS4 clicking when it reboots after selecting 'change display'). I'm not sure if it works on all old vga/dvi monitors but it works on my old ones which dates back in the early 2000's (I personally tried this on 4 different old skool LCD/LED monitors and it worked in all cases for me) so yeah. Just an FYI to folks that's tight on budget might wanna give this a go first. Note that MOST old/non hdmi compliant monitors like stated in this video will ONLY output to 720p at best unless your using a more modern monitor which supports that aspect/resolution. Some only supports 480p even so just take your monitors specs and from there you should be able to tell which works best for your particular case maybe. Just make sure you don't force it to 1080p because you'll end up having to do it all over again (boot PS4 in safe mode>change display>reboot PS4>set to 720p) if you do get too curious like myself LOL It's a bit of a pain in the bum at first but once set, my PS4 can auto detect which one I have hooked up. It somehow remembers which devices uses what which took me by surprise tbh. Especially when switching from a modern TV to an old skool LCD (simply by just switching the hdmi cables between the two) I figure you needed to do it each time which I was willing to do but apparently no need for that given you have set it once and the PS4 can detect the device. I've even tried it on a REALLY old 17" Sony TFT LCD 1028x768 4:3 PAL I had lying around via VGA. Worked beautifully 👌🏻 to my amazement 😅 Anyway, give it a shot and see how you fare. GL!
MagmaCreamy Sry m8, I don't have the expertise let alone the right hardware/software afaik to do that. But it's essentially the steps on this vid except the hdmi switch box. You can supplement that with just the built-in ps4's safe mode. Once you've booted in safe mode, just select the change display. The PS4 should reboot again and you should see the same result. But those adapters, switch box, cables, etc... does come in handy in future hardware changes. GL!
Vince, when I was younger I used to always watch your videos because I thought it was interesting. But now this is the first time I've ever used your vids for technical help.

You actually don’t need the speaker u can just use headphones on the headphone jack

Note that MOST old/non hdmi compliant monitors like stated in this video will ONLY output to 720p at best unless your using a more modern monitor which supports that aspect/resolution.
Some only supports 480p even so just take your monitors specs and from there you should be able to tell which works best for your particular case maybe.
Just make sure you don't force it to 1080p because you'll end up having to do it all over again (boot PS4 in safe mode>change display>reboot PS4>set to 720p) if you do get too curious like myself LOL
It's a bit of a pain in the bum at first but once set, my PS4 can auto detect which one I have hooked up. It somehow remembers which devices uses what which took me by surprise tbh. Especially when switching from a modern TV to an old skool LCD (simply by just switching the hdmi cables between the two)
I figure you needed to do it each time which I was willing to do but apparently no need for that given you have set it once and the PS4 can detect the device.
I've even tried it on a REALLY old 17" Sony TFT LCD 1028x768 4:3 PAL I had lying around via VGA. Worked beautifully 👌🏻 to my amazement 😅
Anyway, give it a shot and see how you fare. GL!
Haii. My monitor say "input not support" , can you help me to solve this issue?
- Nura - try booting your PS4 in safe mode (turn it off completely not rest mode then press and hold the power until you hear a second beep.
im gonna try it tomorrow ill tell you how it goes
Jonathan Nocon Hey could you make a video explaining this? its a bit confusing...

Sry m8, I don't have the expertise let alone the right hardware/software afaik to do that.
But it's essentially the steps on this vid except the hdmi switch box.
You can supplement that with just the built-in ps4's safe mode.
Once you've booted in safe mode, just select the change display.
The PS4 should reboot again and you should see the same result.
But those adapters, switch box, cables, etc... does come in handy in future hardware changes.
GL!
so you buy all them accessories just to play on an old monitor when you can just as easily buy a compatible monitor
To people who dont want to buy the swithcer
You can buy a adapter that has a micro usb plug to power it so you dont need the switcher
I have that on my adapter but what exact do I do with it
did you ever end up trying this? wondering if I should get a powered converter and skip the switch
