Generally you plug the hdmi in on both ends before you turn the ps5 on

To whoever (parents, partners, self-gifter, etc) is watching this in preparation for the Holidays, I hope you have as great an experience as we had with the console.

Thanks. Simple, quick, and easy to follow. Now all i need is a PS5.

[SimiCantStandYaBits]

I reset my ps5, unplugged it and put it back in the box just so I could follow this rather handy guide. Would recommend.

I'm surprised to see they are using a LG TV not a Sony TV 😮

[beatifulrewind]

Plug in hdmi and then the power supply, and try not to hot swap, golden rule ❤

[NoahStevenson-sf]

Yo ngl we need switches on our sockets 🤣🤣🤣

[johnnyk]

Hear me out, we should just have console power bricks on the outside of the console to allow for more heat sinks or better yet power

[priyeshjaiswal]

I like the ps5 panel, where did you get that.
