PS4 Pro to 4K@60 HDR and 1080p monitor

[Jan Korel]

Hello guys,

after long night of searching and whole day thinking about it, I really needed to come here for a help. 

My issue is, that I am having now finally both PS4 Pro and 4K HDR TV, but sometimes, I want to play at my 1080p monitor and I dont want to switch the cabels manualy, because I am afraid of destroying the ps4 hdmi port. 

My original thought was to get a switch, but switches usually work in the scheme: console, bluray player etc into a TV and you are switching between devices, not between displays. Splitter is rather not possible,because its sending the signal to both devices and since not both are 4K, the signal to my TV would be just in 1080p without HDR etc. 

Is there any solution, which would include all futures of the TV running - 4K@60, HDR? I am also okey with some "cabel", which would just serve as doubling the ports of PS4, I would be okey of destroying this with detaching cabels, whenever I would switch between the outputs, rather then the PS4's. 

Thank you for help guuuys

just buy two hdmi extension cable for the tv's and move the end of the hdmi cable coming out of the console between the two.

all of the powered digital splitters are for sending the same signal to two monitors , not passively changing the signals between the two.

 

so yea you're pretty much stuck just moving cables unless you want to build a passive switch yourself

Sadly, I don't think you can do this without introducing noticeable input lag.

 

A splitter would be cool, but then your 1080P display won't be able to read the input.

 

Then you need to factor in that said splitter would probbaly be expensive if you are to support HDR, 4K DRM, etc. since HDCP 2.0 requires an ultra low latency for the handshake to succeed.

 

So really, you would need something that both splits the signal, introduces no latency, and then something that'll down sample the signal to 1080P without introducing much input at all.

 

I would say just move the cable
