Hi, I have a question about my Xbox series s connected to a dell monitor and it does not...

Hello, thank you. I have a Dell s2417dg 1440p 144/165hz monitor was looking forward to using it for my Xbox Series X once it arrives for playing a few games at 120fps but i don't think that is possible since my monitor only supports HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.2.

[quote user="ReactedStew7332"]How do I hook up my dell monitor?[/quote]Which specific Dell monitor do you have?

Hi neversatisfied415,

I’m about 99% sure there is nothing wrong with your Xbox One. The supported resolution and refresh rate is 1080P/1440P @ 120hz. It wont go higher than that. As for that Dell monitor, on these forums I have come across people having issues with getting 120hz
over 1440P on that model. Could it be that the feature was not activated via firmware? Only Dell Support can help you there.

I have been thinking about a 1440P monitor for a while now and so far my research is pointing towards the Gigabyte models where the user manuals state support for 1440p/120hz. I am waiting to see what resolutions are supported by Series X and if we finally
get 3440x1440 before commiting.

My suggestion is before committing to any 1440P monitor check the user manual to see if it clearly states support for 1440P/120Hz over HDMI. I would also be looking at newer released models of monitors (2019 onwards)

So, we finally got to see the next gen "little brother" Series S. It's kept to a design not far from our current One S, and i my opinion looks pretty good. Properly not one that i am going to pick up. I will definitely go Series X all the way.
But a nice cost efficient alternative and a great entry model for new xbox players.

What are peoples thoughts ? and are you thinking about picking it up ?

The way i see it, i don't see the Series S as an entry model, it depends on what the resolution of TV / Monitor is being used, because the Xbox Series X is more aimed at 4K gaming and the Xbox Series S is more aimed at 1080p / 1440p gaming,

For someone who does not have / own or does not plan to upgrade to a 4K TV / Monitor, then the Series S is perfect choice to get and will save you money by not paying for something that you'll never get to see or use the full potential of the Series X,

It make no sense to me why anyone would buy a Series X just to play at 1080p, but there will be people out there who will do just that, to me, that's just wasted money in my opinion,

My thoughts are...

If your gaming at 4K, go with the Xbox Series X,

If your gaming at 1080p / 1440p, go with the Xbox Series S,

I have a 4K TV and a 4K Gaming Monitor so for me, I'm getting the Xbox Series X.

Is 250V supply ok for series s?

The Series S along with the Series X is multi-voltage which it means it works anywhere around the world.

Is there any battery in series s (like Nintendo switch)?

The Series S only works from a mains supply. It does not contain a battery. It must also be connected to a TV or Monitor.
