Check and Reset Your HDMI Cable:

    • Unplug and Re-plug: Sometimes, the issue is as simple as a loose connection. Unplug the HDMI cable from both your PS4 and TV, then firmly re-plug it.
    • Inspect for Damage: Examine the cable for any visible signs of wear or damage. If you find any, try using a different HDMI cable.

 

Restart Your PS4 and TV:

Check TV HDMI Port Settings:
