Why is my PS4 not working on my monitor?

I wanted to connect my ps4 to my monitor and bought an adapter cable from hdmi (from the ps4) to vga (on the monitor). But when I connect the ps4 to the monitor in this way, the message "no signal" comes about every two seconds. On the Playstation it can't be because of my TV it works normally. Not on the adapter cable, vga cable or monitor either, because they work normally on my PC.

Why could the ps4 not work properly on the monitor?

Po

Probably a problem with the aspect ratio, an incorrect resolution not used by the PS4.

A simple adabter is not enough. Since the PS4 outputs a digital signal on HDMI (with the PS even encrypted) VGA can only use an analog signal, so you need a converter, but why do you want to play PS4 from 800x600

Ab

That can't go at all HDMI is a digital signal in the case of a PS4 also encoded VGA transmits but analog signal he probably has no converter but only an adapter in between.

An adapter is also not possible.

You need a converter. But it doesn't run very reliably either.

So this adapter does nothing and what are they produced for?

Which converter could you recommend to me?

do

They are produced for, for example, pcs on the pc, such an adapter works perfectly

Ge

Can you recommend a converter to me?

do

On the Ps4 mine didn't work either, but I have a pc

Sp

I can't recommend you.

This is due to the fact that some monitors simply do not recognize the signal and therefore can't exchange data with the signal generator.

You can try e.g.

Active converter:

Would a Dvi-d monitor work without a converter and only with an adapter cable?

Sp

From HDMI to DVI-D?

That's fine.
