Xbox One X - 5120x1440

Hi ,

Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate the time you spent to help me on this!

The monitor is definitely a beast, and immersive no matter if I game or work! So I had hoped it would also work with an Xbox as most of my friends play on that platform

I have the information needed to make my decision now, thank you!

It was not a problem at all, I have spent so much time researching monitors and am happy to share the knowledge and help

It is a shame that 21:9 isn’t supported but I hope it is being considered for the future. If only people could experience ultra-wide and super ultra-wide first hand, everyone would be converted and it would be fully supported.

Hi Stjarnan TRTR,

I am aware of the monitor you are talking about and it I believe fits into the super ultrawide monitor category.

So the Xbox can output in 1080, 1440, and 4k on a 16:9 ratio. So that means for 1440 you would be looking at 2560x1440 for a ‘normal’ picture as supported by the system.

It should work on your monitor but there is a HUGE caveat in that you will be outputting to 2560x1440. Your monitor will have two very big black bars to the left and the right of the screen and maybe the top and bottom too (not 100% sure about top/bottom
bars). Any stretching done by the monitor will make the output look odd and in a normal ultrawide (3440x1440) it is less noticeable but in your monitor I think it will not look very good as everything will be stretched.

If you cant find videos of your monitor paired with an Xbox, look for videos where a 3440x1440 monitor is used instead. The results are similar and it gives you an idea of what to expect.

I have been asking for 21:9 / 3440x1440 support for a while (via twitter, reddit, etc) and hope we get some support for it. I am a huge fan of ultrawide monitors and I am in the opposite camp where I want an ultrawide for a raspberry pi/ future PC but The
Xbox don’t support it so it seams wasted at this stage in my life. Your monitor is the next level up from the resolution I want but aspect ratio is the same I can imagine your monitor is a beast in FPS and racing games. I bet it is really immersive

Hope this helps any questions will do my best to answer them

Thank you for your reply, it actually gave me a solution to how I could use it!

I would be contacting Samsung
