Ideal monitor for xbox one x ?

[Glenzil]

Hi guys. Currently game on my 51' sony bravia 4k tv. Am looking at setting up a gaming setup. So im after a monitor for the oneX. I play a lot of pubg, cod and the odd bit forza here and there. What would people recommend with the oneX now having 120hz ? I wouldnt want to spend any more than £400.
Thanks

I don't know if those games are able to do above 60Hz... have you checked that? I know some Xbox games have hardcoded frame-rate limits between 30Hz and 60Hz.

Assuming they can though, you will be good with any 144Hz monitor really, but it depends how big you want to go? Coming from your TV, 27" might be a bit small, so 32" could be a good option.

I'd avoid TN panels, go with VA if you can. Colours and blacks will be much better. Coming from your TV (which will be either VA or IPS), I doubt you could stomach the washed out nature of TN.

Hi Glenzil

I recently bought the BenQ EW3270U 4K HDR monitor for use with my XBOX X and its really good for the price it also supports Freesync and uses a 10bit panel has two HDMI 2.0 inputs and 1.4 DP and has very low input lag of around 9ms so it feels very responsive.

120hz is useless on the X to be honest most games are locked too 60 or 30 fps anyway.

Its currently under £400 on the jungle if you interested i paid £430 for mine.

I was thinking about it being weird going from a large panel to a small panel cause i sit roughly 7-8 feet away from the tv anyways. Me and a few friends have recently swapped over the 120hz 1080p on the box playing pubg and we have noticed the increase of quality slightly. It just plays smoother not jittery like before.
What would you recommend going from a flat panel to a curved panel. Is it any better? Im looking for a fast response time monitor but like i said not sure if i should go for the 27 or 32inch

This was the first one i looked at. But i want the faster response time

Then you will need to go for a TN based panel if you want a faster response time.

I use a Samsung 27CHG70 for my xbox one X. It supports Freesync 2 with LFC along with HDR, it accepts a 4k signal and downscales it to 1440p or you can select 1440p in the xbox menu. I couldn't have anything above 1080p selected with 120hz so it seems a limitation on the connection? Apart from that I've been very pleased with it.

The X can output 1440p@120hz max and looking at this review of your monitor it should be possible to select this option.

Looks like a decent monitor i only wish it was 4K and 32".

The X can output it, but the game needs to be allowed to go beyond 60 fps. Many are locked at 30-60fps. Next gen consoles should see a far greater abillity to take advantage of higher refresh hopefully, but again it will come down to the games themsleves, not so much the hardware.

Yes we already discussed how it's pretty much pointless on the X. But if his monitor supports it then he may aswell set it this way even if he can't take full advantage of it.

Does the XBox One X now support 1440p resolutions and if so, does these work via HDMI?

Yes it supports 1440P via HDMI.

Good news.
