How To Set Up A Laptop As A PS4 Display

Introduction

Takeaway: The PS4 comes with a controller, but some people buy the console just to use it as a monitor for their laptops.

Step 1. Download Sony PS4 Remote Play

To use your laptop as a monitor for PS4, you need to download the Remote Play app from Google Play Store. Free and simple to use, the software. It works with Windows, Android, and iOS devices.

Once installed on your phone or tablet, open up the Remote Play app and connect it to your PS4 controller by following these steps:

• Launch “PlayStation®App” on PC/Mac/Linux –> Select the “Remote Play” option at the top right corner of the screen;
• Now choose which device you want to control using a controller –> Make sure that both devices are connected through a Wi-Fi network before starting the setup process (you can also try using a LAN cable if available);
• Once done with connecting two devices via a Wi-Fi network or LAN cable connection – Try playing some games such as FIFA 19 or Uncharted 4 without having any problems!

Step 2. Connect Your Laptop to the Internet

Step 2. Connect Your Laptop to the Internet

If you have a Wi-Fi network at home, connect your laptop to the same one. If not, then use an Ethernet cable and connect it directly to a wall outlet or USB port on your PS4 console.

Step 3. Prepare Your PS4 Console

Before you can use your laptop as a monitor for your PS4, you’ll need to make sure that your console is updated and connected to the internet. You should also have a controller connected to the system so that it will recognize what type of input device is being used. If possible, use a wired connection between the two devices; wireless connections can cause problems with lag or latency issues which may prevent them from working properly together.

Step 4. Connect PS4 and Laptop via Remote Play

Once you have your PS4 and Laptop connected, the next step is to connect them remotely via Remote Play.

Connecting the PS4 to the laptop: To use Remote Play, both devices must be connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. If you’re using a wired connection between your computer and television set, try turning off any security software before opening this section so that it doesn’t interfere with how things work when trying to connect two devices over WiFi or Ethernet at once.* Connecting Your Computer Using an Ethernet Cable: To make sure everything works smoothly when connecting two separate devices wirelessly through remote play on PC/Mac computers without conflict issues arising during installation procedures (for example), please follow these steps: 1) Turn off all power sources (including power strip). 2) Unplug all cables except Ethernet cable(s). 3) Plug in one end of each port into another port on both sides while holding firmly onto its respective edge with fingers spread apart slightly away from the centerline so as not to allow too much pressure applied to plastic material inside connectors causing damage over time due to repeated usage patterns.”

Step 5. Enjoy Playing Games on Laptop

Now that you have everything set up, it’s time to play some games! Just connect your laptop to the internet and open up Remote Play on your PS4. This will allow you to stream games from your computer or mobile device onto a larger screen (like a TV).

The best part about this setup is that it works with multiple devices—you can use it with both computers and consoles! So if someone else in the house has been playing a lot of Fortnite lately, they might not mind letting you borrow their PS4 while they’re away at work…

You can use your laptop as a monitor for the Ps4, but it may not be that convenient.

• You can use your laptop as a monitor for the Ps4, but it may not be that convenient.
• You can’t play games with your friends on the couch, or on the go.
• It is inferior to a dedicated monitor.

Conclusion

This is the best way to keep your gaming experience uninterrupted. You can also stream games from your PS4 to your laptop and watch them in real time without any lag. And if you want even more flexibility, you can use a wireless adapter so that both devices stay connected wirelessly without any wires or cables getting in the way!
