    Gaming monitor with hdmi 1.4, full 4k support?


    Hey guys,

    My friend purchased the xbox one X and a gaming monitor for the 4k feature, but when he checks on monitor, he's only at 1080p.

    The gaming monitor is brand new and it's the Acer Predator xb281hk

    I believe that the monitor only has hdmi 1.4 port to it, is that the problem?

    Does the xbox one X require you to absolutely have hdmi 2.0 port on your monitor/tv for it to work 4k @60fps or is there

    a workaround with some adapter to make it work?

    Let me know! Thankyou

    :)

    The Xbox One S will run at 4K if the monitor does 4K@60Hz. When connected via HDMI, the HDMI port on the monitor must be at least version 2.0.

    According to the product sheet, you should be able to get 4K@60Hz if you connect the Xbox to the HDMI 2.0 port on the monitor.

    The other two HDMI ports, "HDMI 1.4" and "HDMI 1.4(MHL)" will not support 4K@60Hz, and the Xbox will likely default to 1080p.

  3. Xbox One X Scorpio Edition Going well

    Ok folks to give you an update and I need some help.

    I finally got round to connecting up my xbox X to my Acer Predator XB281HK 4K monitor, via HDMI. only to realise my monitor is HDMI 1.4. Xbox is HDMI 2.0. which means I cannot get 60Hz 4K. My pc is also connected to this monitor but via Display port. Which
    is fine and running at 4K. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get 4K running on my current monitor. Is it worth me getting a HDMI to display port cable and giving that a go which means I will need to buy some sort of switch, so I can go between
    PC and xbox on one display port. Or can someone suggest a good 4K gaming monitor that will be compatible with my XBOX X and PC.

    You must have a display with at least HDMI 2.0 in order to drive 4K@60Hz.

    HDMI 1.4 only drives up to 4K@30fps, but the Xbox One X is not designed to accommodate this, and will only display up to 1080p.

    Your monitor does indeed have an HDMI 1.4 input. It's at least implied in the

    online manual
    through the "standard timing table", where 4K@60Hz is only achieved through the DisplayPort input. I do not believe there are any adapters available for this (if there were, they would be active adapters and be quite expensive).

    cant get 120hz

    I believe that you need to have a monitor that is Freesync and Freesync has to be supported over HDMI, as well as, the monitor needs to have HDMI 2.0 ports and supports 120/144hz, looking at that, and being G-sync, it seems to have HDMI 1.4 ports which limits
    it to 1440p at 60hz

    A new monitor is needed if you want 1440p at 120hz,

    Pulled this info from a website...

    "Nowadays, most of the monitors, TVs, and graphics cards feature at least an HDMI 1.4 port which is enough for 144Hz at 1080p, 75Hz at 1440p, and 30Hz at 4K.

    However, keep in mind that some monitors have limited bandwidth over HDMI 1.4 making it max out at 120Hz or even at 60Hz in some cases (mostly G-SYNC and older monitors).

    In fact, most 144Hz monitors are limited to 120Hz over HDMI 1.4, but some monitor manufacturers will use custom timing parameters, pixel rates, etc to use the full potential of the HDMI 1.4 bandwidth thus getting 144Hz at 1080p.

    So, make sure that the exact monitor you’re looking at supports 144Hz or at least 120Hz over its HDMI 1.4 port – or just look for a 144Hz display with HDMI 2.0.

    HDMI 2.0 is also fairly standard and can be used for 240Hz at 1080p, 144Hz at 1440p, and 60Hz at 4K. The latest HDMI 2.1 adds native support for 120Hz at 4K UHD
    and 60Hz at 8K."

    Xbox series X not running 1440p and 144hz at the same time

    Hello Mega! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

    Given that your monitor only has HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort, and also given that the Xbox Series X only has an HDMI output, your monitor wouldn't support 1440p at 144Hz. HDMI 1.4 only supports up to 1080p/120Hz or 4K/24Hz.
