4K TV or 4K Monitor?

KristallnachtVI · Sep 24, 2016

Its getting around that time where i need to start thinking about whether getting a monitor or tv in 4k for the scorpio. So i was wondering will it be worth it to pick up a 27-32 inch 4k monitor instead of a tv? The smallest 4k TV's are made is 40 inches
and id rather have at max a 32 inch screen. The TV's can be pricey but i figure for the same price for a 40 inch cheap brand 4k tv i could pick up a very good brand 28 inch 4k monitor instead. My main question is, would the scorpio work with a 4k monitor?
Assuming the monitor has HDR?

Xbox One X 4K pass thru?

When you say 4K pass through, are you talking about a 4K source sending the TV signal to the Xbox and then to the TV? Or sending the Xbox1 X 4K signal to pass through a 4K receiver and then to the 4K TV?

Xbo one S and xbox one X

The XBOX ONE S is 4K, you have to have a 4K TV in order to get 4K content. Then your 4K TV has to be directly in the XBOX (TV IN ) HDMI slot. Once you connect this your XBOX will automatically download the Blu Ray 4K app

Hi Kristall, I think scorpio work with a 4k monitor, But In the event that purchasing a 4k monitor for Scorpio, ensure you get FreeSync over HDMI and NOT over Display Port to exploit it.

But some gamers prefer 4k tv to play games rather than 4k monitors like the one I have LG OLED55C7P. I like it because it has good picture quality and many other smart features in it. This is also evident from the many good reviews from this TV, one of which

Its depends on how much room / space and budget one has,

for an Xbox One X,

Ideally its worth getting a 4K screen, for a TV i would say anything beyond 32", and a Monitor, anything beyond 27",

I myself have a Samsung 50" 4K HDR TV, and a Asus 27" 4K Monitor,

I use my TV for 4K movies and the Monitor for 4K gaming on.

Don't you have to have a tv or monitor capable of 4k? What good is a console capable of 4k if your tv is only 1080?

You can play the Xbox One X on non 4K TV / Monitors,

However in my opinion, if you have no intentions of upgrading to 4K, its a waste of money to buy hardware that's capable of 4K gaming to not be gaming at 4K, even more so with the Xbox Series X arriving later this year,

The same can be said for those who buy an RTX 2080 Ti's ( a 4K, £1000+ ) card to only use it on 1080p Monitors for PC gaming,

I myself, if i didn't have a 4K TV and 4K Monitor, i would've just stayed with an Xbox One or at most a Xbox One S.
