Help choosing Monitor for Xbox Series S

yash991a · Apr 6, 2023

Hi, I am stuck in dilemma while getting a monitor for my Xbox series S! I’ve narrowed it down to 1080p FHD Benq EX2510S (165hertz) and 1440p QHD AOC Q27V4EA (75 hertz) I usually play Horizon 5 and GTA online! It would be helpful if someone could help me choose between the two!!

( Should I go for pure looks by choosing 1440P AOC (75h) at 4ms or sacrifice looks for a smother gameplay at 1080p (165h capped at 120h) ) at 1ms .

Thanks

Both of these monitors will work with Xbox. A review of the EX2510S on Toms Hardware even mentions the Xbox Series consoles. Ignore the top refresh rate as this only applies to PCs using display port.

The AOC Q27V4EA max refresh is 75Hz, but you can only get 60Hz from an Xbox console. It has a higher resolution and is slightly bigger. The AOC doesn't do HDR however and It's more of an all round PC monitor than a gaming monitor.

The Series S is largely a 1080P console and will look its best one of these displays. If you want to experience 120Hz gaming, you should go with the BenQ monitor. It also has built in speakers so it should be just plug and play.

Okay, Thanks!

I’ll have a look at the BenQ monitor!

I’m guessing more 120fps games might come out for the console in the future.

Hi guys,

The title says it all

I have a Koorui 27'' incurved Gaming monitor that does 1440p and 144hz 1ms AMD Freesync, DCI-P3 85% hdmi 2.0

Any help is appriciated and thank you in advance.

Hello, This is Elijah.

The Xbox Series S will not support games at 4K at 144fps, the Series S will also not run 1440p at 144fps as well. The Xbox Series S will only run 1440p at 120fps. I would also suggest using a different HDMI cable than what came with the Series S. The Xbox Series X will run 1440p at 144fps, also 4k. But limiting 8k to 60FPS.

Thank you for choosing Xbox as your gaming Platform.

Hi, Andy my name is Oskayra, and will be a pleasure help you

The issue you're encountering is likely due to a compatibility issue between the native resolution of your Xbox Series S and the maximum resolution supported by your HP w2408h monitor.

The Xbox Series S outputs a native resolution of 1920x1080, which is slightly different from the maximum resolution of 1920x1200 supported by your monitor. This mismatch is causing your monitor to display an "input signal out of range" message.

To resolve this issue, you'll need to adjust the output resolution of your Xbox Series S to match the native resolution of your monitor, which is 1920x1080. Here's how to do it:

On your Xbox Series S, navigate to Settings > General > TV & Audio > Video modes.

Under "Resolution," select "1920x1080" from the available options.

Once you've selected the desired resolution, restart your Xbox Series S.

After restarting, your Xbox Series S should output a resolution that is compatible with your HP w2408h monitor, and the "input signal out of range" message should no longer appear.

If you're still having trouble, you can try the following additional steps:

Ensure that your HDMI cable is properly connected to both your Xbox Series S and your monitor.

Try using a different HDMI cable if the one you're using is old or damaged.

Check for any firmware updates for your monitor.

I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help,if this works let me know and have a nice day. Oskayra
