You can connect a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 to your Samsung TV and take advantage of your TV’s picture, color, and sound settings to get the most out of your favorite games. Our guide will walk you through the connection process.

Once your game console is connected to the TV, Game Mode and Input Signal Plus will be turned on by the Auto detection feature.

  1. Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI OUT port on the back of the PlayStation, and then insert the other end into any HDMI IN port on your Samsung TV. 4K 120 Hz gaming performance is available when the HDMI cable is connected to the HDMI IN 4 port with a Game icon.
    Note: Support for 4K 120 Hz may vary depending on the model.

  2. Insert the power cable into the AC IN connector on the back of the PlayStation, and then insert the power plug into an electrical outlet.

  3. Turn your TV and PlayStation on. Press the Home button on your TV's remote, and then select your PlayStation (Game Console) from the Source menu.
    Note: Some models may have different connection methods between the game console and TV.

Your PlayStation supports HDR video for an enhanced gaming and streaming experience.
