LG 27UN880-B 4K monitor only shows 1080p with XBOX series s

Hi! Thanks for the reply. But why does it say 4K in the settings then?

Series S is not 4K on the dashboard, so it switches back to 1080

Does the 1080p support go for both the Series S and Series X, or just the Series S?

1080p is supported by both Series X / S,

However if your only playing at 1080p and have no plan's of upgrading to a 4K TV / Monitor, The Xbox Series S would be recommended as is a 1080p / 1440p gaming console and you would save £/$200, than getting the Series X, as that is a 4K gaming console and
you would never get to use the full potential of it if used on a 1080p TV / Monitor.

Basically the rundown is:

Xbox Series X:

Has a spot for discs

Has better graphics

More Expensive

Xbox Series S:

Entirely Digital (No spot for a disk)

Not as great graphics but still good

Less Expensive

So it's honestly up to you whether or not you want to get the better of the consoles, though the Xbox Series S would work for everything you would want it to.

I wouldn't consider the Series S as the lesser of the two,

These consoles are much more like PC's in term's of spec and performance than previous generation consoles, and as with PC gaming, you get / buy or build a system to what resolution and refresh rate of what your TV / Monitor is being used,

"as an example",

"Your not going to buy an RTX 3090 for your PC at £/$1,500 just for the card, that's capable of gaming at 8K to only use it on a 1080p TV / Monitor, that's a huge waste of money."

The same can be said of these new consoles,

The Series S is designed and aimed at 1080p/1440p gaming as to why the spec's of the Series S aren't as high as the Series X, because if your not planning on gaming at 4K, you don't need all that extra power that the Series X offers as that is designed and
aimed at 4K gaming.

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

However, If I was to only have a 1080p TV / Monitor and no plan's of upgrading to 4K, I would've been getting the Series S instead.

Xbox Series S it is. I just hope my Roxio Gamecap HD Pro would record it since it only connects with HDMI cable.
