PS4 video takes a long time to show up over HDMI
So I bought a PS4 maybe 2 weeks ago. Everything works fine except one weird thing: My PS4 is plugged to a Toshiba 720p TV, and when I turn on my PS4,then switch my TV input to PS4 , the screen flicked from Signal(black) to no signal(blue) for approx. 20 seconds(the time vary a lot-sometimes 8 seconds,sometimes more than 40 seconds),a nd after that the PS4 screen shows up correctly. This also happens if the PS4 is on,and then switch input to regular TV,and then switch back to PS4,screen flicker again but for a shorter time(5-8 seconds approx.). This happens even when PS4 wakes up from sleep mode. I had a Chromecast plugged in this HDMI port before and everything was fine - no screen flickering. My PS4 is set to display at 720p (not automatic). I tried automatic, 1080p, but to no avail. I doubt it would have caused this issue, but when I installed my PS4, I made this quick and plugged AC cord BEFORE HDMI when the instructions said to plug HDMI first.
EDIT:I tried to disable HDCP and now its works like a charm,no delay before PS4 screen showing up,I immediatly see the PS4 logo :) But I mean I guess its better to enable it? The screen still show up if HDCP is enabled,it just takes more time; and the time vary alot(very random); for example,I tried it this afternoon with HDCP enabled and it took maybe 3-4 seconds and the screen showed up,while yesterday it took 20+ seconds.Its really random. But if the screen show up after some time,it means that the TV ended sending a "response" to the PS4? Because if I go in the settings of PS4,HDCP is enabled.Screen just show up instanly when HDCP is disabled,while when enabled it takes a little bit more time.For information purpose,my TV is a 2007 Toshiba,model 32HL57 with 2 HDMI port an apparently this TV is HDCP enabled(I searched my model on the web).Maybe that 8ms response explain the little delay before the screen show up when HDCP enabled? Or else I guess it would be better to let HDCP enabled even if screen takes time to show up? At least now we know that its because HDCP.

I am experiencing the same problem with my PS4 system and my Toshiba model 50L2200U (1080p). I've had the issue since the system was purchased in July. Specifically, my issue only happens when I try to watch disc based movies, or manually change the resolution on the PS4.
After numerous conversations with Sony, and even after sending the system in for repair, I have come to the conclusion that it is, indeed, a problem with the HDCP handshake between the TV and the PS4 system. Unfortunately, there is no fix, except to wait for Sony to release a firmware update that revises the HDCP protocol communication.
Unfortunately again, since this is a rather uncommon issue that only happens on certain model TV's, that's not very likely to happen any time soon. My best advice is to do what I am doing. Bug Sony for a fix, and maybe even contact Toshiba support, and let them know the issue as well.

Try unplugging and re-plugging the HDMI cable in again to make sure you have a secure connection. If it's connected to the correct port, you could switch it to another available port and try again.Why does my TV say no signal when HDMI is plugged in PS4?
When your TV shows "No Signal" it just means that it's not getting the signal through the HDMI cable from your PS4 console. By wiggling the cable or removing and inserting it you are attempting to restore that connection. Sometimes the cable can get moved or hit and that can cause a bad connection.Does PS4 support high speed HDMI?

Answer 2
This issue is caused by the HDCP handshake. Disable it from your PS4 settings; you won't need it unless you use your console to watch Netflix, iPlayer and whatnot.
