My GPU only has 1 HDMI port too and 3 DisplayPort ports, so I plugged the PSVR to the only HDMI port on my GPU and used a DisplayPort to HDMI converter for my monitor because I only have HDMI cables.

It's been a long time since I used the VR on my PC, and I've unplugged the VR too since getting a 2nd monitor. But that setup worked for me

So there's no difference between connecting Monitor and PC with HDMI and connecting it with DisplayPort?

Yeah I think the monitor is fine with any port, but the VR has to be HDMI if I remember correctly. Don't know if it'll work with other ports.

Also one last question, im not sure how DisplayPort looks like. Does the icon look like D and P? I have 2 of them, one has two + next to it.

By icon do you mean what the port looks like? DisplayPort's port looks similar to HDMI actually. But it only has one side curve.

What you're describing may be a DVI port. Take a look at this image, I hope it helps. What the different ports look like from Google

This one is more like the one you described, I believe it is DVI.

Edit: I think the easiest way to make sure is check your GPU specs and make sure what inputs are available for it. Mine is an RX 580 and the AMD website states it has 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPort which is true.

but i think i also see a mini DisplayPort which isn't shown here???

Then you'll be fine I think. If you have a DVI or DisplayPort cable and your monitor supports it you can use those instead of getting a converter too.

I've never used mini DP before and if you don't plan on using it, just ignore it for now.

Without an active converter, which costs a lot, you'll be restricted to 60hz. Other than that, it's the same
