I would like to connect my xbox to a display port monitor

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Nate

This monitor only have HDMI connection? Or a display port is included with this monitor?

I say this because some monitors only supports +120Hz using the display port and not HDMI

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.

Hi,

Could you provide the exact model?

I've done my own bit of research, but the fact that I can't access the official manufacturers website doesn't bring me much hope. Your display isn't HDMI 2.1, or at least my searches suggest it isn't. This itself does not prevent 120Hz via HDMI on a 1440P display, but if it was HDMI 2.1 it would would have had a better chance of supporting it.

Most gaming monitors, especially the older models, are designed and marketed towards PC gaming. PC gaming is primary used via Display Port and monitor manufacturers largely put all of their display's features on the Display Port. HDMI is a secondary concern.

In addition, there is also an issue with timings. For the Xbox, the exact refresh rate timings are all important. With your monitor connected to your console, the Xbox reads the displays EDID and this tells your console what the monitors capabilities are. You likely can't choose 1440P 120Hz because unfortunately, your display can't do 1440P (2560x1440) @120Hz over HDMI. This is quite common on older monitors.

what model monitor, a lot of monitors only support 1440p 120hz over display port connection.

From what I could find on the internet, this monitor has two HDMI ports, one of them (HDMI 1) is an older HDMI 1.4 port, while the second one (HDMI 2) is an HDMI 2.0 port. I can only suggest you reconnect the monitor to the second port and try again.

The fact that I had to go to a third party website just to find a manual for the R1800 doesn't inspire confidence in this display. The 'KOORUI' website wouldn't even open. Even if you connect to the HDMI 2.0 port, there is no guarantee this will allow 120Hz. Like most budget monitors, this display's main features will be locked into the Display Port which is for PC use.

It's quite likely you're going to be stuck in 1440P @60Hz.
