Thanks for the trick of Unplugging the HDMI cable from our console for a better remote play experience! I always had a bad experience on my default PS4 Pro with default HDD doing remote play in ideal network conditions (local home network). Once I plugged out the HDMI cable, now the remote play experience on my smartphone is significantly better. You are a life saver man 💯🙏👏

It’s not about HDMI and having PS5 to transmit the signal to your TV or monitor. It’s actually probably something else, as it seems the PS5 pushes the signal to the Portal without downscaling it, therefore if you have a 4K tv connected to the console, it would just push the whole thing to the Portal as is. Which doesn’t make much sense for a 1080p Portal screen, but it takes way more bandwidth creating additional latency, compression artifacts and such. Therefore, when you unplug your TV, the PS5 doesn’t need to create 4K signal any longer and this is why you may see some improvement in performance and quality. Meaning the alternative solution to unplugging your HDMI is to change the resolution on the PS5 to 1080 and it should do the same trick. It’s a shitty solution either way and hope Sony would fix it so you can keep playing 4k on your tv and 1080 on Portal without unplugging, changing the resolution back and forth, and other nonsense.

Come on Sony I just spent $199.00 on this lovely remote player the least you can do is send me some darn updates!!!!!

Great video mate! Hello from Tasmania!

Thanks for the info. Just started following you and you give good honest gaming advice. Not hater stuff. Keep it up

For audio, the better hack is to get a bluetooth transmitter with a 3.5mm headphone jack (usually for airplane use)…this connects to your portals headphone jack and transmits Bluetooth to you headphones.

Damn the community really communiting 😂 the Portal is good! but we need some stability updates and quality of life improvements ASAP. This unnecessary lag needs to stop, it's annoying because you can hear the audio is there but the screen freezes up so I pause every time it stutters. This had me in my router settings fiddling with options lol On the PS5 these settings may help PS5 > System Settings > Network > Settings > Setup Up Internet Connection > Wired LAN 1 > Press Options and WiFi Frequency Bands > Select 5 GHz All your Screen and Video Settings should be set to Automatic PS5 > System Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Game Presets > Performance Mode or Resolution Mode > Select Performance

Dope content bro

As far as I can see the light bar doesn't have a bug. It seems that it gets a special coding for games which commands it to show certain colors. You can see that with Saint's Row that gives the light bar a purplish color that resonates with a dkminant color of the game - not necessarliy the color of the screen a a given moment.The menu doesn't send a code so it shows no color. At least that is what I assume.

Great tips I'm gonna try the HDMI one

I was not excited at first but the PlayStation Wii U tablet concept actually seems pretty cool we have a Wii u and love it

I love this thing. It's a really good form factor and the streaming quality is great for the most part on my network. Some games definitely suffer more like fast paced MP games but Ive found CoD for example to be palyable. I've been able to play more because of its portability and finally getting to games I've been holding off. Even the hitches in streaming I get is not a turn off. I've played lower quality games on switch at much worse performance that it's not a big issue. If they can improve streaming quality and allow for more data, this thing will be even better! Hopefully cloud streaming gets added as well since PS5 streaming Ive had better performance at 4K.

I don't know if anyone told you but the light thing isn't a glitch. It just lights up the same way your normal controller would during PlayStation use 😊

What’s the best games for performance I play allot of similar games as you (madden , 2k , spider man) which games or type of games should be used for performance?

You probably haven’t experienced this yet, but how do you replace or repair the buttons when they break? My son has gone through a few PS5 controllers and when the buttons break, I’m curious how to replace or repair the buttons on the PS Portal.

Love it got 2 of them

With the same thought, wouldn’t the dongle work in the portal for headsets or is the spacing to small?

Great videos on the portal! I'm loving it. God of war runs good on it. Thanks for the tip and honesty. God bless Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!

Thanks for the tip about unplugging the HDMI cable from PS5.

Brilliant Bluetooth solution! Never thought to leave the damn transmitter on the console. LOL Now to test my range from the bedroom to the garage 😂

I was going to unplug my HDMI but never got around to it. The portal has been working great. Ill have to try some of these tips. First thing i did was put a screen protector on as soon as i peeled of the protective screen.

My ps5 is plugged in with an Ethernet cable. Overall, are you happy with the portal? I would primarily play at home and I usually play call of duty. Thanks so much!

I’ve been playing all day. I’m playing Forbidden West right now, it looks freggin gorgeous!

Loving it no ptobs had it from release its excellent it's also great away from ps5 I play my bro sitting next to him mw3 and my ps5 is at home great vid bro respect from UK 🇬🇧 brother

Awesome video, one thing about the wifi you are using. If you don’t have a way to connect your ps5 wired which is better. Use a new wifi6 router it made a big difference for me and it was way better.

I play about cod and sports games and was super excited to grab this. I’ve done everything and I guess it runs as smooth as a handheld should? But input lag still seems like it’s there. It’s like playing on a tv without game mode enabled . I’m ranked in mlb the show in the world and I can’t even hit on the portal

Thanks for that tip unplugging the hdmi cord I definitely can tell a difference

Loving my portal so far, definitely will have to try unplugging HDMI see if there's any noticeable difference. Mines ran really good so far so not sure if it will do much for me.

im thinking of getting one, can i use this outside my house like the switch?

I have the option to either get this or a Steam Deck. Which would be the better option?

What Bluetooth dongle do you use?

Great video! 2 questions. I just tried using my portal while connected to WiFi. My ps5 is connected to lan (same internet) I was getting disconnected any idea why? And 2nd question, I tried the HDMI trick u mentioned and it was making my connection worse surprisingly. Tried taking hdmi from monitor and hdmi out from console same result

Bro has the best shirts fr. First cobra Kai now Mario?

My hubby just got me 1 for Mother’s Day along with Kingdom Hearts Final Mix- so I have this video playing while I’m opening it and Sony did their thang with this packaging! Never throwing away the box (I never do lol)

Also I like it but when I’m playing mortal Kombat 1 sometimes my character keeps going backward some times but it fixes what do you think I should do on the portal?

if you have a wired extended storage on ur ps4 how do u transfer it to your ps5. Can you please make a video for this?

So does your ps5 have to be on whilst using the portal

Nice vid, bro. Just brought the portal living in New Zealand a couple days ago. Released on the 2nd Feb. Will try that to remove HDMI from tv. Hope it helps out with the hungry data cookie monster. My mobile plan is only 10GB per month. The portal used like 3g in an hour or 2. I'm looking for an unlimited plan, but they got clauses like fair use policy, so they can boot me if i use too much. Any tips to reduce Data would be helpful in gaming away from my house on mobile.

Quick question does ps5 have to stay power on while playing portal?

Are you using the PS5 on an ultrawide monitor?

That HDMI hack is clutch!! Mine gets here next week. Appreciate the detailed videos on the Portal man: def just got a subscriber for life
