I think you misunderstood, it is my PC's Graphic Card port that is not working, not the ps4. I mentioned the PS4 to rule out that it was the cable or my monitor

Yes remove the GPU card from the PC and inspect the port(s) for any sign of damages.
Might need a magnifying glass and flashlight.

But when you try a new HDMI cable between PS4 and the same HDMI-In on your TV; the port on the TV-side works?

Yeah the port on the tv side works fine, ill just go check for signs of damage on the port right now.

For future reference, those cables and ports are fragile, be more careful.

Does the GPU only have 1x HDMI port?
What other ports does it have available? As it is possible to either get another cable, or an adapter. Such as DVI-to-HDMI Cable for example.

If there does not appear to be physical damage either inside on where the port meets the board side on the GPU card, but it is still failing to work, RMA the GPU under warranty through the manufacture.

Alright, I checked the port and there doesnt seem to be any visable damage. I attatched the following imgur album of three images to show you,

There is another port but it isnt connected to the Graphics card, and when ive attempted to use it in the past it hasnt worked so i just assumed it isnt meant to work i suppose. Its a little bit up from the graphics card near the motherboard

Then you can try the following:

- Remove and re-seat the GPU.

- another/different HDMI cable; then ensure the TV is powered-on and correct Input is selected, prior to PC power-on.

- RMA the GPU to maker for replacement, under warranty.

- Get a different Cable or Adapter; such as DVI -to- HDMI Cable;
or DVI Male -to- HDMI Female Adapter coupled with an HDMI male to male cable.
