Gigabyte M27Q monitor and Xbox Series X

HarkamalSingh1 · Jan 4, 2021

I've checked all the specifications for this monitor and it supports 1440p@120hz over HDMI 2.0. The timing list also shows this:

But, if I connect xbox series x to the monitor, xbox allows me to set only 1440p@60Hz or 1080p@120Hz. All suggested work arounds have not worked.

I bought this monitor specifically for playing on the console and like many have hoped these settings be available if the monitors are known to support it.

To add to to this many of us have recently purchased monitors for the desired setting of 1440p@120hz. While I understand their are limitations in terms of what games support this, Microsoft and their spokesman need to provide an update on this matter. What
can we do? When will we expect an update?

Hi

To confuse things, Gigabyte have three versions of the M27Q. The M27Q (Rev 1), an M27Q (Rev 2) and the newer M27P.

According to Rtings (A recommended go to for anything TV and Monitor related) they all support the Xbox Series X

M27Q (Rev 1)

M27Q (Rev 2)

M27P

I would like to inquire about the recommended budget monitor that costs only $300. Would this monitor be suitable for use with an Xbox Series S/X if I were to upgrade in the future?

Well the Gigabyte M27Q Which is reviewed on the Rtings website should be around $300 in the U.S. At least it was when I checked the US Bestbuy website. I may be slightly out though as I'm British.

I would recommend you look at the review. Gigabyte M27Q Rtings Review

And it fully supports the Xbox Series X|S consoles.

I've got a Gigabyte M32U which I use for both work and play and I'm very happy with it.

If you've not heard of Rtings, they are professional technology reviewing website who also have their own YouTube site.

if someone from the old post appeared here it would be wonderful, there I can't send questions anymore the topic is closed :/ .

I'm in Brazil and here it's very difficult to find monitors with hdmi 2.1 in fact they still don't have it, the only one I've seen the sale was for 6k in R$ which is a very high value.

Thanks Josef for helping me.

Thanks for the update!

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Probably a new Xbox system update disables the workaround :c
Those kind of things are very common, I think that probably that happen to avoid bug/glitches with enabling that resolution/refresh rate on that monitor

Hope you're doing great today Rick

Probably that workaround is not working anymore if you was able to follow the tutorial step by step and it's not working

This is due to physically Xbox needs a 2.1HDMI port to run at 1440p@120Hz
