Does Samsung hate Sony?

Gamer Schnitzel · November 19, 2022

I tried to connect my PS4 to my Samsung QLED TV but it simply was not working. I actually thought that my PS4 was just defective since there was no visual signal. It did boot into safe mode but not normal boot. I even reinstalled the OS on the PS4 but nothing worked. I tried various cables. Then I connected it to my old LG 4K TV and it worked. Connecting it to my PC monitor also worked but the Samsung TV simply didn't work. The only difference is that the Samsung TV has HDR but I cannot imagine this making a difference.

What's going on?

My PS4 and PS5 work fine on my Samsung TV

Mine also worked fine... years ago. But now when I connect it nothing seems to happen. I wonder if there is a setting on my Samsung TV which is stopping it from showing the signal from the PS4... it's so stupid that on older TVs it is fine. My LG which is also 4K but without HDR has no issues just starting it normally. It's also a Smart TV. Why can't they just make it simple?

Maybe try resetting the TV to its factory default? Test other devices while using different ports and such, trial and error is going to narrow down your problem much faster than strangers spit-balling.
