Setting up your PS4 on a Sharp TV is a straightforward process, like connecting the PS5 to the Sharp TV. Whether you’re using the latest Sharp Smart TV or an older model, you can quickly connect the PS4 console using an HDMI Cable. This article will walk you through the step-by-step instructions on how to connect the PlayStation 4 console and its controller to your Sharp Smart TV.
Steps to Connect PS4 to Sharp Smart TV

Connecting PS4 to Older Sharp TV!
Older Sharp TVs (non-Smart or pre-Smart versions) often come with at least one HDMI port, so connecting the PS4 is typically straightforward. However, keep in mind that certain features, like 4K resolution, are exclusive only to newer models. But they do support 720p or 1080p, offering a smooth gaming experience.
After connecting the PS4 console to Sharp TV via HDMI cable, you need to adjust the PS4’s display settings to match the TV’s optimal resolution. To do it, go to Settings > Sound and Screen > Video Output Settings on your PS4.
