Xbox One and PS4 will only work with HDTVs (via HDMI)

Sony has confirmed that the PS4 is HDMI only. That means the console will not display games on non-HDTVs. The Xbox One also lacks the ability to be played through component or S-Video.

This seems like a necessary sacrifice and an expected one. I’m not too bummed out about it personally though I will miss being able to use the same cable as I did on my PS2 on my PS3 for S-Video. That was always a neat little nod to previous Playstation consoles.

It was pretty obvious the PS4 lacked a non-HDMI port once we got a good look at the back of the console, as you can see below.

Just thought everyone should know. I honestly think its a good point in time to have dropped old SDTV ports, since HD TVs are cheap these days.

EDIT: Apparently the reason for no AV output is because each of the consoles have a blu ray player, and using BluRay means agreeing to AACS standards, under those standards AV was "sunsetted" back in 2011.

Thought this would definitely be the case. Only ever use HDMI anyway.

Was inevitable.

I remember the RF cables *Shudder*

Anyone know if they will be able to connect to a computer monitor?

If your monitor has a HDMI cable, you probably should be able to, don't quote me on that though, it's probably something to look into doing.

Its fair enough IMO. Inevitable really.

So things changed then. PS4 was going to have both HDMI and an analogue output. Believe you can get adaptors anywho. Probably be a device made by Sony themselves.

Provided the adaptors work fine, luckily those with CRTs can still play the consoles.
