HDMI on both your PS4 and PC are outputs, not inputs. To use your PC as a display for your PS4, you'll need a capture card. After getting a capture card, hook it up to your PC via USB and use an HDMI cable to connect your PS4 to the capture card. Voila, you're good to go!

In my experience, you need an Elgato or similar capture card. Connect your PS4 to the capture card's HDMI input and then connect the capture card to your PC via USB. Download the capture card software, and you'll be able to see the PS4 on your PC!

It's not possible. Both PS4 and PC only have HDMI out.

You can't directly connect your PS4 to a PC using HDMI since both have HDMI output ports. You'll need a capture card to bridge the two. Once you have a capture card, connect your PS4's HDMI cable to the card and then connect the card to your PC.
