I need some help.

Anyone know if the PS4 will be able to connect to a monitor? Or should I just buy a tv?

If your monitor has an HDMI port yeah you can use it straight up. If your monitor doesn't have an HDMI port you're going to need a DVI to HDMI cable. (assuming you don't have a wack ass VGA monitor)

DVI to HDMI look like this:

DVI to HDMI look like this:

My monitor came with a DVI-HDMI dongle. That can work?

Or should I get this?

shyt... I didn't think about that. I wonder if his monitor has built-in speakers if not...

See I ran into this problem with my PS3, where I used my monitor to game but the PS3 had the AV Multi out so I bought a little adaptor to attach my headphone jack to the composite cables that are packaged with the PS3, that's how I got sound but PS4 don't have the AV Multi port this time around. I'm stumped.
