The New PlayStation 5 is as impressive as it can be.
I mean, it supports 60 fps, at least on the 1080p!
Well, I know you guys are giving me a dead look right now.
Yes, Sony promised the same thing on the last-gen console as well.
But now, they have also promised 4k and 8k support as well.
And that to some games supporting up to 120 FPS!
I am not lying.
They actually released a list of games supporting 120 FPS!
Also, they have introduced HDMI 2.1 as well.
More on that later.
Does the ps5 have a DisplayPort?
No, the PS5 doesnt have Displayport.
The New PlayStation 5 comes with HDMI 2.1 support which is superior to the current DisplayPort Technology.
However, with the additional adapter, you might connect the PS5 with your monitor via the DisplayPort.
Now I get why you want to connect your PlayStation 5 with the DisplayPort.
Well, dont worry about that.
I have got the exact solution for that.
So, keep reading till the end to get your desired fix.
Is PS5 HDMI or DisplayPort?
So having additional DisplayPort will cost way more if you think about the future of the PlayStation 5s lifetime.
Even if the port goes for 1$ each, it is going to be a lot!
There are not many TVs out there with DisplayPort.
Also, many gamers Hold the DisplayPort as the standard of gaming because of its 1.4 standards.
In many ways, it is better than HDMI 2.0.
So I fully understand why many people prefer DisplayPort over HDMI.
What is DisplayPort?
DisplayPort and HDMI achieve the same objective at a fundamental level.
It is a specialized wire that can transmit audio and video connections to a display from a source.
We have seen many versions of both connections have been available over the years.
Standards have steadily enhanced bandwidth to enable greater frame rates, additional features, and better compression methods.
So yes, if you want to compare HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, then DisplayPort 1.4 wins.
HDMI 2.1 increases the maximum bandwidth to 48Gbps, more than doubling it.
This enables support for 4K resolution at 144Hz or 8K resolution at 30Hz.
Because Displayport 1.4 was superior to HDMI 2.0.
So it is very clear why gamers would choose a DisplayPort over an HDMI.
But obviously, the scenario has changed because of HDMI 2.1.
You legit can do everything whatever you did on the DisplayPort, if not better.
But whatever the reason is, you want to use the DisplayPort to connect your PlayStation 5.
Well, then I have news for you.
Dont bother buying the direct HDMI to DisplayPort connectors.
Simply not going to work.
Dont waste your money there.
Buy a good adapter that has good user ratings on the internet.
Keep in mind that the adapters will be pricey, and hey dont go for any cheap products.
You will end up losing money rather than gaining any benefits out of it.
Now that you got your hand on the adapter.
Lets get into troubleshooting.
Here are the steps to connect the PS5 with your DisplayPort:
There you go.

Now that you are done connecting your PS5 with a DisplayPort.
You might see the screen flickering from time to time.
To fix that, you better change the resolution on your own.
Because of a third-party adapter, the PS5 cant set the resolution automatically.
Can PS5 Output 1080p 120hz?
No, the PlayStation 5 cannot Output 120HZ on 1080p in DisplayPort.
Mainly because of the adapters limitation.
But things might change in the future.
So my suggestion would be to use the HDMI port if you want to get 120HZ on your monitor.
But things have changed.
you might now get all of these in HDMI 2.1.
But if you still want to use the DisplayPort, hopefully, this guideline will help you.
