1. Select the interface language.
2. Internet connection. To do this, you can connect a LAN cable to the set-top box or do everything via wi-fi. There is no difference, although many recommend using wire. Before continuing, you need to determine the type of Internet - wired or wi-fi. If the last option is selected, enter the passkey.

Connecting PS3 to TV with tulips

Now let's consider a situation where an HDMI connection is not available, for example, if you have a not very modern TV model at your disposal.

A standard RCA AV cable will help you connect your PS3 to a TV without HDMI

If you correctly navigate the color of the plugs and connectors, there should be no difficulties. The colored ends need to be inserted into the TV, and then turn on the corresponding channel . The reverse side of the cord is inserted into the console.

For the first time, it is better to reset the settings.

This method has one drawback - the image quality will not be higher than 576p .

What TV can I connect PS4 to?

Of course, the game console is not suitable for every TV device. The general pattern for selecting a TV is as follows:

1. Technology type and screen refresh rate. Basic parameters determine whether the technical functions are commensurate with the capabilities of the set-top box. Otherwise, the user's expectations will not be met. Of course, if you really want to, you can connect the PS4 to a TV that contains a cathode ray tube. But all the advantages of new technologies: the quality of acoustics and images are neutralized. Therefore, it is better to choose an LED or plasma TV with a screen refresh rate of at least 100 Hz.
2. Screen resolution. The modern 4K format is gradually replacing game consoles with FHD. Since buying a TV is an investment for more than one year, you should focus on 4K.
3. Viewing angle. There are models that suffer from uneven illumination. The defect becomes especially noticeable when viewed from the side. The image becomes distorted and group games become difficult. Therefore, it is worth checking the change in dimming from different angles before purchasing a TV, especially with LCD technology.
4. Input parameter - Lag. This characteristic reflects the time required by the television receiver to reflect the incoming signal and broadcast it on the screen. A very important parameter for games, because the response of equipment to player actions must be very fast.
5. Response time. The indicator determines the milliseconds during which the matrix builds the pixel transformation. The smaller the parameter, the faster the image transfer occurs. The optimal response time is no more than 5 milliseconds.
6. PQI update index. Often this indicator is not paid attention to in the characteristics of the model. Meanwhile, it is also important. The higher the index, the better for games. The possible range of the parameter is from 1000 to 3000 - depending on the price.
7. Screen sizes. A large monitor attracts with the possibility of maximum immersion in virtual reality. But certain restrictions are imposed by the area of ​​the room. It is necessary to take into account a comfortable viewing distance.
8. Interfaces. The main cable for connecting the set-top box is HDMI. Therefore, models that do not yet have such an interface are not the best option. Of course, there are special adapters, but the image quality is greatly reduced. The equipment of HDMI 2.0 models is worthy of attention, because with its help the device is capable of transmitting data in 4K.
9. Special modes. Manufacturers are adapting to the desires of gamers. Modern TVs already include game modes in which all unnecessary TV options are automatically disabled.

The same parameters coupled with different additional functions, the design can vary greatly in price from different manufacturers.

Connecting PS3 to TV via SCART

In this case, you will need an RCA cable, as well as a special adapter , which serves as a conductor between the console and the TV screen. You can buy it at most electronics stores.

When connecting the PS3 to an old TV via SCART, the image quality will be less than 720p , but for those who do not have the opportunity to use more modern equipment, this will be almost the only option.

If you encounter any difficulties, do not forget to reset the settings.

How to connect PS3 to a monitor with HDMI

Some modern computer monitors have an HDMI input and built-in speakers for audio output. If you have just such an instance, then you are incredibly lucky, because you don’t have to do anything other than connect the console and the image output device with the appropriate cable.

Please note that you cannot connect a PS3 and a laptop !
Yes, the laptop has a screen and HDMI, which would seem to be great for realizing your idea, but not everything is so simple. The fact is that laptops only have an HDMI output, that is, it itself can be connected to a TV and monitor, but other devices are not suitable for it.

Connecting PS4 to laptop

Of course, all modern laptops are equipped with an HDMI interface, but users will not be able to connect the PS4 console in this way. The problem is that these connectors work to output information. Therefore, a completely logical question arises: how to connect the PlayStation 4 to a laptop? You need to get special adapters and an old RCA cable. To set up your connection correctly, follow the simple step-by-step instructions:

1. We insert the plug into the special adapter, which is responsible for transmitting the video signal, and then connect the adapter to the laptop.
2. Reset your console's user settings. To do this, press and hold the power button. As soon as the set-top box emits the corresponding sound signal, you can release the button.
3. We insert the white and red plugs of the RCA cable into the audio connector using a special av-jack adapter.

This is perhaps the simplest and most effective way to connect a game console to a laptop. Be sure to switch audio and video modes directly on the set-top box. To do this, open the PS4 settings, and then select the “tulips” icon.

How to connect PS3 to a VGA monitor

There may be some difficulties when trying to connect your PS3 to your computer monitor. In particular, there may be a VGA connector , which does not “communicate” with the console using standard methods.

PS3: Fat, Slim, Super Slim

In this case, you will need to buy a special converter, the cost of which is approximately 500-700 rubles. This device will be a great help in this situation, and now we’ll tell you why.

It is worth considering that VGA can only transmit images , which means you will not hear sound. However, the converter we talked about earlier has AUX, which allows you to connect external speakers or headphones.

For reference. Converters come in two types: with additional power from USB and without. Any of them is suitable for PS3, but for PS4 only the first option.

the HDMI-VGA converter itself , work.

Some monitors may report that the input signal is outside a certain range. This means that they do not support 1080p or 1080i images. When resetting, you need to set it to 720p or less. The picture quality will be lower, but this is the only way out of the situation .

Other connections

Since the developer does not bother himself with finding a variety of procedures for successfully displaying game images from the console on the screen of other devices, our team will act as a consultant on this issue.

Computer or laptop without HDMI

If you use the unofficial Remote Play program (from the Internet resource Remote_Play_PC_v0.105_Test-), ​​you can move the game image from the PS4 console to a computer monitor or laptop screen.

Using Remote Play

Your steps will be like this:

• downloading and installing the utility;
• unpacking a set of files;
• installation of the setup file from the administrator.
• The “RemotePlay.exe” file must be moved from the “Crack_PC-RET” directory to the directory of the utility being installed.
• Do the same with the file “com.playstation.remoteplay.10300.apk” from the APK directory.
• After the initial launch, you need to immediately set the required frame rate to 60, as shown below.
• Next, allow remote use of the set-top box.
• Enter your pin and console account (obtaining a pin code is described in the “Streaming” section of this article).
• Connecting devices.
• The appearance of a picture with the image of the console indicates that all steps have been completed correctly.

This method of connecting the PlayStation 4 to a computer monitor or laptop allows you to activate the keyboard and mouse.

Laptop

Connecting a gaming station to a laptop without using additional software is associated with solving problems that arise along the way.

The first of them is the absence of an HDMI input on a laptop computer (there is only an output).

This can be solved by using an adapter that plugs into the laptop's USB connector. However, with this connection you will be extremely dissatisfied with the image quality.

TV, monitor

Connecting the PS4 console to displays (TVs) begins by searching for the required connector on them.

They come in several types.

Currently, the HDMI connector is used in this type of technology. Since your set-top box has exactly the same, connecting it will not be difficult (see the “TV via HDMI” section of this article).

HDMI adapter for connecting PS4

Another commonly used type is the twenty-four-pin DVI connector. If your video device has such a connector, you will need an HDMI-DVI converting adapter (with this connection, the picture will not shine in quality and the issue of sound arises, which is not transmitted via DVI).

DVI connector 24 pins

The connected monitor can also have an antique VGA connector installed. Connecting PS4 to a monitor via VGA is also done using the appropriate adapter.

A special factor when implementing the task of outputting images from the console to the monitor is obtaining the sound of the game.

If the monitor has built-in speakers, then this issue is removed.

However, for PS4 owners, the good news is that they can perceive sound through headphones - there is no need to additionally solve this problem through adapters or cables.
