Gaming monitor
 

Hey everyone,

So I have an Xbox Series X and I want to get the most out of it by buying a gaming monitor. I have £500 to spend and obviously it needs to be 120hz and HDMI 2.1 .

Thank you :)

Do you want 16:9 or 21:9 ( does the xbox support ultrawide?)

I'm not sure, I'll have a quick look. Just looked, no it doesnt

16:9 MSI Optix MPG321QRF-QD 32" looks like a stonking option

I bought this one two years ago for a PC, and am very happy with it (I got it from Amazon, but it’s cheaper at Curry’s at the moment).

If you read the thread you will find the xbox does not support ultrawide so a standard 16:9 would be the best bet

Thanks for the clarification

Whu does it need to be a monitor? Many new TVs are 4K HDR with HDMI 2.1 along with VRR and other features.

Re: Gaming monitor
 

TV's usually cost more than monitors ?

Re: Gaming monitor
 

They are usually bigger too.

Maybe he's limited on space? But I agree a TV would be a better option but I don't think you can get VRR at a £500 price point.

The OP hasn't really helped us much.

What screen size?
Why not a TV?
Resolution required if using a monitor?

Hahahaha there are fundamental differences between TVs and Monitors especially at the higher end and it is the very reason why they are better for gaming on even if your TV has VRR. Input lag, response times and the higher refresh rates are the main ones. All these make a difference when you are sat closer to the screen which you should be if you bought a monitor over a TV
