I'm having problems connecting my playstation 4 to my computer monitor. I'm using and hdmi cable with a dvi adapter. I used this same hook up with my playstation 3 all the timre but with the playstation 4 I'm running into problems

With the playstation 3 I would hold the power button to reset the graphics to work with the adaptar but when I do this for the playstation 4 my monitor flashea twice a minute and shows static. If I just turn my playstation 4 the monitor flashes andsays "Input signal out of range change settings to 1600 x 900 - 60hz".

I don't care about sound I just want the system to work on my monitor
 
By the sounds of it, your PS4 is trying to put the video out at a higher resolution than the monitor can handle. It must not be detecting it right and trying to put out a 1080p resolution probably. If you can plug it to a TV first and see if you have an option to adjust the resolution. Its not a typical setting on game consoles, but with how far they have come I wouldn't be surprised.

I was worried that was the case. I wobt be able to try that for about 4.5 hours. In currently at work that's where I use the monitor at. I have a 50" Samsung at home that I connect to

any solution to this i just got my ps4 and my montor is kinda old

i know the hdmi-dvi cable is working because when i traded in my ps3 a week ago it was working fine


ive tried plugging into a tv and reducing the resolution to 720 manually(my monitor can only output 720 anyway) but that didnt work and i set the other two display options to limited on the 2nd try and still nothing


i get a message saying "input not supported" on my monitor

the signal is getting to it though as it powers up when i switch on the ps4 so its definitely getting a signal

my monitor is an acer p223w

I'm having a problem with my Acer P201W monitor and PS4 setup. I use an adapter to change the HDMI to DVI but the screen in off centered. The open screen adjust of my PS4 and monitor do not fix the problem. I can see the screen, its just that a half-inch of the right side is missing from the whole display, How do I fix this? (Also the Razerkey fix didn't help)
