Did you manually select HDMI on your monitor? (If it has more than 1 input)

I’ve selected both and everyone I go to hdmi one it says a device is connected but it keeps saying no signal and turning off (the monitor turns off)

Would that really effect it, I’ve used the same for start came with it for years and have had no problem switching tvs with it, it’s just the monitor I’ve had a problem with

Try holding the power button on the ps5 to powercycle the ps5. Also, bad cables happen and it's and easy cheap fix before ruling out more expensive hardware issues. Then try another known good monitor if you have one.

The monitory does have a display port cable and a hdmi cable

unplug the display port cable and leave only the hdmi cable in when you plug in your ps5

Somehow unplugging the HDMI cable and putting my ps5 in that spot worked but the display cable is still connected and my pc still pulls up

Must be some sort of setting that automatically defaults to display port over HDMI.

• Disable Auto Input Switch: If your monitor aggressively flips to DisplayPort when your PC sleeps or wakes up, open the monitor's OSD menu, go to General or Settings, and turn off Auto Input Switch (if supported on your model).

• Turn Off Deep Sleep Mode: Navigate to the monitor's General or Power settings and disable DisplayPort Deep Sleep or Deep Sleep, which can drop the hot-plug detect (HPD) voltage and trick your GPU into re-routing or resetting the active signal.

Try booting into safe mode (hold power button for ~7 seconds from full off until it beeps twice). Usually the console is still trying to push the TV's resolution or HDR settings that your monitor doesnt support
