Yes, you can use your PS4 on a computer monitor. Ensure your monitor has an HDMI input, as the PS4 uses an HDMI cable for audio and video. If your monitor lacks built-in speakers, consider using a separate audio solution, such as headphones or external speakers, connected via the PS4’s audio output options. For monitors without HDMI, an HDMI-to-VGA/DVI adapter may be required, though this might affect audio as well. Adjust your PS4 settings to optimize the display resolution for your monitor.
