Hi everyone - Im really hoping that there is someone that has faced a similar situation and would be able to help me.
Just bought my new PS4! - I travel around, so I use a small projector for everything - the projector itself has high specs and we watch movies on it in excellent quality all the time.
Anyway, so the PS4 connects to (the smallest tv in the wolrd) the monitor/tv that has been provided in our room, but when I connect to my projector, there is only sound and a blank screen. Out of the 100 times that I have connected and disconnected from the projector - I managed to get it to work 4 times already.
Probelm is, I can never have it connected from the moment I turn it on - so I spend most of my evening connecting the ps4 to the tv and then the projector, over and over again to see if it works.
Please help.
1. The HDMI ports and cables are fine, I have checked and swapped - same issue
2. Yes I have started PS4 in safe mode 420p - I once got it working by leaving it on that setting and once when I changed it to 1080p.
3. I connected the projector to my computer to see what the specs are that the projector itself is requesting, and it automatically requests 1080p, but also 60hz NTSC? (I'm currently in Spain - PS4 is supposed to be compatible to both,right?)
4. I have changed ALL the settings over and over again (including HDCP and HDMI link, color settings etc)
5. I have set both the ps4 and projector to default settings.
it really does feel that it's just the luck of the draw on whether or not I will be able to game when I get home, there is no pattern whatsoever.
I don't know if I am overlooking something - but I have been troubleshooting all week and would love to be able to just turn my ps4 on and game through my projector. (the tv/monitor is really small and is mounted rediculously high on the wall so it's impossible to see/read aything). If I had t working fine 4 times - then there has to be a way to get it to work all the time.
Quick note - when connected to my projector and there is no picture, there is a gray bar at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds that reads: "HDMI 1" - and then its all black.
Please help!
