I’m still running on my set up though I’ve recently added a KVM to make it even easier to switch inputs. The KVM is capped to 60hz and 4K but that’s fine with the XDR since it shares the hz limit.

As for the issues, the only thing I can add is that my HDMI settings are all enabled in the PS5 system settings.

Can you share which KVM? Thanks.

Wondering if it matters which port you use on the back of the XDR as well as whether the cable must NOT be a thunderbolt cable

Only one port on the XDR can be used for DisplayPort+USB or Thunderbolt input. Some Thunderbolt cables can do non-Thunderbolt signals (non-active or short Thunderbolt 3 cables or Thunderbolt 4 cables or Apple's Thunderbolt 3 Pro cable).

I have my PS5 working with my XDR @4k using the following.

www.amazon.com

Monoprice Bidirectional USB Type-C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable - 4K@60Hz, Easy Plug and Play, Nylon-Braided Jacket, 6 Feet, Black

No longer will you be limited by the direction of your cable! This Bidirectional USB-C to DisplayPort Cable allows you to connect your legacy DisplayPort devices to your newest USB-C enabled display or between a new USB-C enabled device to a DisplayPort display.

This is all awesome stuff, but I would like to avoid swapping the cables on the XDR so much between my Mac and the PS5. I saw that using @Recscue had success with this extension

www.amazon.com

USB4 Extension Cable 2.62Ft, Thunderbolt 3 & 4 Extension Cable, USB C 4.0 Support PD 100W 20V5A, 40Gbps Transfer, 8K@60Hz, 6K/4K@60Hz Video for Dell/HP/Anker Dock, MacBook, iMac, Dell XPS, Intel NUC

But I am curious if anyone has had any luck with this device? Switching between Mac and PS5?

Are you able to go past it? I ordered the same combo as Recscue suggested though haven't received it yet. Just wanted to know how likely it is to face/go past this issue. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, recent purchaser of the Apple Studio Monitor and PS5 and trying to get these to play nice with each-other haha.

Was hoping to buy the below combo to get this working; however, both products are now unavailable (indefinitely it seems):

Has anyone found another converter that works similarly, or another solution altogether? Would be eternally grateful for any insight here!!

Thanks in advance!

I'm currently looking for some options to do this as well.
Since the gofance converter is no longer available I wonder if something similar like this would work

https://www.amazon.com/SIIG-DisplayPort-1080p144Hz-Protection-CE-H26A11-S1/dp/B08PVWRJ8Q/ref=sr_1_28?crid=381UW2LH4AAV9&keywords=HDMI+2.0+to+DisplayPort+1.2+Converter+4k&qid=1672443186&s=electronics&sprefix=hdmi+2.0+to+displayport+1.2+converter+4k,electronics,120&sr=1-28&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0

Here's a list of their converters:
https://www.siig.com/av-products/converters/hdmi-to/displayport.html

This one is older and has dip switches to select and EDID, like the original gofanco:
https://www.siig.com/hdmi-2-0-to-displayport-1-2-converter-4kx2k-60hz.html

The one you linked has an EDID learning mode like the newer gofanco so maybe that will be useful, compared to the other HDMI to DisplayPort adapters.

For those who got their PS5 to display on their Apple Studio Display, how's the resolution like? Have you noticed the display not being sharp due to 4k being displayed on a 5k display?

I have an update (as of March 7, 2024) - I found a solution that works for both my Apple Pro Display XDR and my (previously sold by Apple) LG 5K monitor.

Background:

As noted in other posts, there are two (2) components needed to connect a PS5 to a Apple Pro Display XDR:

1) The CableCreation 8K Bi-Directional USB C to DisplayPort Cable (available from Amazon, which I purchased) and,

2) An HDMI to DisplayPort (DP) converter - either from SIIG or Gofanco.

I've been searching the Internet for either the SIIG or Gofanco HDMI to DP converters mentioned in
previous posts in this thread. No luck.

I did recently find something which looked like it might work - the Gofanco PRO-HDMI2DP and bought that to
try out.

Testing:

Note: The PRO-HDMI2DP has 2 dip switches that have to be set for the resolution and refresh rate you want (the included manual provides the setting choices/options).

Nintendo Switch
First, I changed the PRO-HDMI2DP switch settings to 1080p 60Hz and I connected my Nintendo Switch/docking unit to the PRO-HDMI2DP and connected my LG 5K monitor - after a few seconds the LG monitor showed the Switch main menu. I was able to play a couple of games on my LG monitor. I then connected my Switch and XDR and was able to do the same.

My setup was:

Switch dock HDMI Out to PRO-HDMI2DP HDMI In.
CableCreation 8K cable DisplayPort into PRO-HDMI2DP DisplayPort.
CableCreation 8K cable USB Type C into monitor (LG 5K or XDR) USB Type C.

PS5
Next, I changed the PRO-HDMI2DP switch settings to 4096x2160 60Hz and connected my PS5 & XDR to the PRO-HDMI2DP & CableCreation 8K cable and again, after a short delay (some seconds), the XDR had the PS5 menu showing. I was able to also play a couple of PS5 games on my XDR. I didn't test the LG 5K monitor with the PS5. I also did not spend any extended time playing on either monitor - I didn't see any glitches in my brief test (about 20 minutes).

BTW - for sound, I connected the PRO-HDMI2DP audio Out to my: Sonos Port - the Sonos Port is joined with my 2 Sonos Move speakers.

I am sufficiently happy with how this setup works and very glad to finally play my PS5 games on my XDR!

Wow! Glad that's all working out nicely. I'll definitely have to check in on this. I bought all the stuff, but haven't gotten them time to just plug it in and try it.
