PS5 - Turn Off HDCP to Avoid Screen Issues

[@GrahamDenmanMusic]

DUDE! I commend you for keeping this short, to the point AND it actually fixed the snow on my tv!! I thought my hdmi cable was weird or messed up but as soon as I hit that button BOOM! FIXED! Thank you! 10/10 Helpful❤

You really took 5 seconds to explain videos while these 5 mil channels take 50 mins to explain to me why 10 min long can give you ad rev

[@CTMJB]

Thank you need more people like you thought my ps5 was done just wasn’t stop flicking until I turned it off you the MAN

[@mechanicaldave7981]

For anyone stuck in a green screen and can’t see anything. Power down the ps5 holding power button till it beeps. When it’s off, hold the power button and keep holding the power till ps5 beeps. It will boot into safe mode and then select HDMI option and select HCDP and will ask to restart. This worked for me. Also you can follow this tutorial afterwards and turn off HCDP. Hope this helps and thanks for this video subbed

It solved my flickering issues. Thanks!

[@Baleni11]

This video helped me out bro thanks, just bought a gaming monitor for my ps5, been struggling all day with this and now it’s fixed thanks

[@z8Nation]

On my Samsung 4K TV , the screen kept randomly flicking the “game mode” on my TV off and on. Never has done that before in the nearly 2 years I’ve owned it. I was playing my PS5 on it for the first time the other day and I think the HDMI cable is causing this to happen. But I went ahead and turned off the “HDCP” and now the problem appears to have gone away. Thank you very much ! And hopefully this helps other people too 😊

[@pastetatse4957]

When turning on game mode I think it will give you a warning saying that game mode may causes flickering.

Bro this video is old but you are a life saver I swear man you don’t know how grateful I am right now I almost gave up on my ps5😂

Lifesaver, I couldn’t even have my console replaced as the problem wouldn’t show up on customer services side, as they wouldn’t have such setups at their testing place.

[@scaryreptile]

-wait like 20 seconds for the console to turn on -turn controller on, wait for it to turn on -press X, wait over 4 seconds -press up, right 4-5 times (user name) -left once, press X (settings) -down 3, press X (system) -down once, press X (hdmi) -down 3, press X (enable hdcp) if nothing happens it might be asking if you want to close a game, press X one more time

Does your screen goes black for a second at the start of game? Is it normal? My friend told it is because the monitor adjust from 60fps to 120fps but idk if anyone else has this problem. Thanks

[@TheOnlyResh]

The funny thing is I use this video when I move my PS5 from the living room to my desk to make content and forget to switch HDCP off. Because at my desk I plug it right into the capture card so the image won’t come up unless HDCP is off. So I watch this video to get to the setting without being able to see the screen 😂

LOL. Great that you’ve found an unintended benefit of the video 👍

Cheers mate. Just picked the ps5 up and had no idea where it was haha

[@mikew1080]

HDCP only effects film. If you have a TV with HDMI 2.0 OR 2.1, make sure you go into your TV system settings and activate full bandwidth on your HDMI Ports. If you don't, it will stay at HDMI 1.4 bandwidth to ensure compatibility with older hardware(even though it's rarely an issue.) Video Transfer Rate settings should be as follows(ps5 video setting): Auto for HDMI 2.1(full 4:4:4 chroma) -1 for HDMI 2.0(4:2:2 chroma) -2 for HDMI 1.4(4:2:0 chroma, likely a pre 2016 TV model) To avoid picture setting issues always match video/black levels between display and console. Use limited for TV and console. Use full for monitors and console. Auto is a shit show, hell, my Sony TV and PS5 don't even handshake correctly at all. You can leave resution to Auto if you match video/black levels. That feature does work correctly. If these steps are followed, you will be in good shape. (Not all terms transfer from TV brand to TV brand. You may need to look up verbiage for your make and model.)

[@JoeChip]

Some decent information here but HDCP doesn’t just affect film. Switching between film/TV apps can cause real problems with syncing on some devices which can lead to black screens or other issues. I’ve yet to try on the PS5 but on the PS4, leaving HDCP on meant you couldn’t capture game footage at all using an external capture card.

[@mikew1080]

@@JoeChip you got me there, thank you for the correction. The rest of the information remains valid. If there are still users who are struggling to setup their television, I'd recommend avsforum as a resource. You'll be able to gather information regarding your specific sets and how to get them communicating with your consoles correctly.

[@KingKalil]

I know I’m a couple of months late but thank you for this info man. My brother & I just got our PS5 and already experiencing some flickering issues.

Hi sir. Bought my ps5 God of war Ragnarok bundle one month ago. Recently I began noticing small tiny horizontal lines & some dots popping on the screen. This only happens when I play GOW which came with the console. Even if I posed the games & go to the home screen the small lines are still present there if the game is still running in the back ground. But as soon as I close the game the lines & dots will completely disappear & everything returns normal. Should I turn off my hdcp & does it cause such issues? My console is connected directly to my sony 55x900h via the hdmi cable which came with the console.

[@DylanKosher]

I noticed that also playing gow ragnarok on my Sony x90j. Sometimes it switches right away to 120hz mode and I don’t see the artifacts but sometimes like it’s hesitant to switch to 120hz mode and after a few seconds it finally does because the picture cuts out for a moment and then those artifacts seem to be gone for the most part or at least I don’t notice them while playing. Did turning off hdcp get rid of those artifacts for you?

[@baseleid9049]

I haven't come across this issue personally. Have you tried connecting the PS5 to another TV to see if you get the same issue there? Also try swapping out the HDMI lead if you have a suitable one to hand, to see if it's that causing the issue (unlikely but possilbe).

TY! I called my TV and Sony tech support to figure out my flickering issues and this seemed to work. HDMI 2.0 4k 60fps Vizio hooked to my PS5, it immediately started flickering (until eventually just black screen) during initial setup. Turning off HDR has been my workaround. I turned off HDCP and HDMI link, (do those have any image benefits?) Tech support had me factory resetting my TV & PS5 to no change. ALSO! I had to change my 4k Video Transfer rate to -2 and that brought my color format to YUV420 which my TV tech said is what I was looking for. So TYVM

@@dvanerfthis5885 how old is your TV? -2 is 4:2:0 subsampling, unless you tv is pre 2016, that setting is likely wrong. Let me know what you have and I should be able to help get you dialed in correctly.

[@mikew1080]

Their support is wrong if you have HDMI 2.0. Should be -1 at 4:2:2. Have you enabled full hdmi bandwidth in your TV system settings? Most tvs default all hdmi ports to 1.4 to avoid compatibility issues with older devices. That would be the only reason to use -2, if your TV was pre 2016 and stuck with HDMI 1.4.

Really glad you got it sorted out. Oh, and apologies for not replying earlier. I literally only just saw this.

[@codypayne7207]

This video helped me out thanks

[@DatManDooley]

That didn’t help for me. Any other answers? Cause this is a bummer.

[@American_Devil]

I kept getting the green screen and changing hdcp to 1.4 only in the safe mode

[@waabajack862]

I like to use the media apps on ps5, having hdcp off means I have to turn it on just to watch any media service. Plus it's affecting streaming from console, as I can only stream for twenty minutes then broadcast stops with error to server.

[@JoeChip]

If I'm being honest, the way Sony handle HDCP on the PS5 is a dog's breakfast. I wish it wasn't like this but unfortunately I'm not sure there is much we can do.

Hi i turnt everything off enable hdcp and enable hdmi device link i hope it wil work now because sometimes my screen got flickerings and i tried many monitors on my ps5 so i just turn it off like you say and i dont need to do anything more ?

[@JoeChip]

There is no guarantee because the issue could be caused by something else but HDCP on the PlayStation has always been a pain in the rear. Try it and see if it solves the problem. Do be aware that some streaming apps require HDCP to be turned on in order to work, though.

[@lukasanang3322]

Do you know how to fix my screen goes all green, or purple or like a psychedelic colours after i power it on or after i turn it on after rest mode? Is it faulty hardware or software issue?

[@JoeChip]

The first thing I’d do is check my connections. Just having a loose HDMI lead could cause that sort of thing.

[@lucacaccavallo3279]

I notice that cuttscenes are low resolution and low fps on my ps5 While im playing on an 4k/60 monitor, does anyone know what i can do about it? These cuttscenes are laggy on ps4 and ps5 games weirdly enough

[@JoeChip]

What games?

[@bennyboy6383]

My PlayStation 5 is switching itself off randomly mostly on PlayStation 4 games I have a 4K LG tv it’s 2.0 I think, I’m using the HDMI cable that came in the ps5 box when it turns itself off the screen goes completely green would Turning hdcp off help at all or maybe using a different hdmi cable? I was thinking if it’s a 2.0 TV using the 2.1 cable may cause the issue?

[@Nonsense209]

Helped me with a Samsung TV. Screen would flicker appear to turn on and off and once I turned off hdcp it was fixed.

Do you think my audio extractor is causing my ps5 too not recognize my monitor being 4k and HDR? I can't even get 1080 @120 once I'm plugged into the EXTRACTOR.. Do you think changing the HDCP would help any?

[@JoeChip]

It's entirely possible, though probably more to do with EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) than HDCP. How does your audio extractor work? And what model is it?

[@_mylastname]

@@JoeChip Orei 912.. Simple HDMI in, HDMI out, optical going to my sound bar.. It works perfect with my series X . Changing the HDCP didn't help. Nothing has, as of yet. Maybe it doesn't like that it's HDMI 2.0? I ordered a jtech version(even though I think it's identical and rebranded) I'll try it when it gets here Friday . I'll update here, Incase anyone else is having this issue

Hi, I have a chiq 4K 60 Hz hdmi 2.0 TV. My problem is, when i turn on the Ps5, I get the resolution in 1080p. I take out the hdmi cable and put it in again, I get 4K resolution ( I do not change anything/ settings etc.) I have no flicker problem. What can cause this? Thanks for your support 👍

[@JoeChip]

It sounds like the TV and PS5 are having trouble with the initial handshake. Have you tried changing the order in which you turn them on or waiting a few seconds after the TV is on to turn on the PS5? Also try turning the PS5 on from off rather than standby to see if that solves the problem. Let me know how you get on.

That shouldn’t happen. Does it go black all the time or just with certain apps?

[@magemold7943]

I’m getting a weird little like stutter or glitch every 5/6 seconds it started happening after I downloaded the update on april 27th before then my PlayStation was 100% fine

[@Ultra_Ken]

dude i had one too, its this weird pink stripes every now and then on the screen i ended up reformatting my ps5 and it was gone....

[@JoeChip]

Was it after the update for you too, Ken? Maybe it could have been that it didn't finish the update properly, or that the update messed with power delivery or something. Very odd, though.

[@Ultra_Ken]

@@JoeChip yes, now i didnt see it recur pretty weird really.....

[@JoeChip]

@@Ultra_Ken Maybe it was just a glitch. If it has stopped happening I'd just forget about it for now. Is your console well ventilated? Overheating can cause these kinds of glitches. Not sure that is the case here but it never hurts to be careful.

Amigo cuando llevo rato jugando, aveces pasa una línea transparente horizontalmente de bajo hacia arriba ? Alguien sabe que puede ser?

Difficult to say without actually seeing it but it could be interference. Try a different HDMI cable and see if that solves the problem.

If you have HDCP turned off, turn it on when watching blu rays. That should remove the flickering.

It’s basically copy protection and like all copy protection it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
