xbox one projecting to monitor

anotherANON75 · Apr 20, 2020

So, I've looked on numerous websites to find out how to project my xbox one to my monitor and haven't found any help. My monitor is fairly new and only has HDMI ports and none of that DVI ****. I just need some assistance on how to properly do this. Just
to get some questions out of the way, yes my hdmi cord works, everything is plugged in properly, my computer does indeed have windows 10, my monitor is also touchscreen just saying that if you know that is what is causing a problem. I already checked on display
settings and clicked detect other displays and that did not work. I also don't happen to see a button on my monitor to change to HDMI display. Any help is appreciated.

I have a HP Pavilion all in one and I still don't know how to switch to HDMI I'm trying to switch to my Xbox

Are you trying to plug xbox into pc? It's not entirely clear what you mean.

If so... is the port you are connecting to an hdmi IN port?

A bit more info on the pc may be in order.

Note, most PCs have hdmi OUT only, not an input.

If that is the case, the only way to get your console out putting to monitor would be to use the streaming function via xbox app

Yeah, the hdmi port is for OUTPUT only.

It doesnt take a signal in, only for connecting your pc to an external source like a tv or other monitor.

Unless you have a 4k monitor now ready to go, dont even bother with the One X. Either wait it out for Project Scarlett or get an Xbox One S. You can typically find them cheap now and theyre only going to get cheaper.

Xbox Scorpio will not beat high end PC gaming specs. The Xbox Scorpio only has a 2.3Ghz clock speed 8 core processor. And this low clock speed will be the bottleneck when it comes to simulation games, since simulation games are more CPU intensive than GPU.
Even my i7-6700k has a stock speed of 4.2Ghz (4 cores, 8 threads, 8MB cache). And clock speeds do matter.

As for monitors, I'm completely fine with my Sony KDL40EX720 Full HDTV. 1080p gaming is still the norm. If you go for 4k, then you're gonna get less frame rate than if you play in 1080p. 1080p still looks pretty good. A lot of games on Xbox 1 aren't even
1080p native. You don't have to waste your money on the latest most flashiest monitor on the market. When the Full HDTV or full HD monitor you already use, will do the job well enough. I'm sure Xbox Scorpio will have anti-aliasing too (a mechanic which works
to reduce common jagged corners and lines in Graphics). Samsung and Sony are good brands. They may not be the cheapest, but there's a good reason why they're not the cheapest. They may tend to have a lower fail-rate compared with other brands. And may have
better global customer support than other brands too. Take for instance Samsung and Sony. They are not New Zealand or Australian companies, but they have good support coverage over here. You cant say the same for some other American companies.
