Xbox one X HDMI to display port on monitor

bdw71 · Aug 4, 2018

I currently have a Xbox one X and a Samsung monitor that is 4K. The monitor supports freesync but only on its display port not on its HDMI port. I am having a problem finding a cable that will do HDMI from the Xbox to the display port on the monitor
that will utilize Freesync And display in 4K at 60 Hz. Does this cable exist or is this possible?

Attivare Freesync

Buongiorno a tutti

Ho una Xbox One X solo con uscite hdmi e un Monitor Gaming Samsung U28E590 che ha 2 uscite hdmi e una display port.

Da poco è uscito l'aggiornamento per sfruttare il freesync sulla Xbox.

IL monitor mi fa attivare il Freesync solo tramite displayport.

Come faccio a collegare la Xbox One X al monitor?

Goodmorning everyone I have an Xbox One X with only HDMI outputs and a Samsung U28E590 Gaming Monitor that has 2 HDMI outputs and a display port. The update was recently released to take advantage of freesync on the Xbox. The monitor
allows me to activate the Freesync only via displayport. How do I connect the Xbox One X to the monitor?

Xbox One X Scorpio Edition Going well

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.

As far as I know, there are (expensive) active adapters that convert HDMI to DisplayPort, but they are only converting HDMI 1.4 to DP signals. There will need to be adapters that support HDMI 2.0, but I have yet to see one anywhere in the market.

Keep in mind that the conversion between HDMI and DisplayPort only goes in one direction, so please do not buy those cheaper passive adapters that convert DisplayPort to HDMI, as they will absolutely not work.

Your Samsung monitor will have to support HDMI 2.0 to drive 4K with the Xbox. If there are no settings to turn on 4K resolution over HDMI or “enable HDMI 2.0”, then your monitor may only support HDMI 1.4 (which technically drives 4k@30Hz, but the Xbox will
not use this). I am unsure of what model you have, but the supported resolutions over each input are typically listed in the monitor’s manual. I’ve encountered this exact question before, and honestly the only practical solution here is getting a new monitor
that has HDMI 2.0 and FreeSync.

The series X is HDMI 2.1 and my monitor is only HDMI 2.0, I was told the display port cable would transfer more data? My monitor is LC27G55TQWUXEN

Is it normal for devices to have gamma control on their side? To me that's always been a control that's been 100% on the display. Also, the biggest pitfall right now of gaming monitors for the One X is that the majority of them only support their top tier
features over display port, because they only have HDMI 2.0 ports. Once more monitors mupport HDMI 2.1 this will be less of an issue since it supports way more than display port does, but for now gaming monitors monitors unfortunately don't deal with HDMI
that well. Can you tell us what specific momitor you're having this problem with?

So the question isn't will any HDMI 2.0 port work, the question is will any MONITOR with HDMI 2.0 and 120hz refresh rate work?

From what I'm reading the answer appears to be no... so the question is... which ones will?

Hi,

The answer to your question is quite simple. The Xbox One X can do 1440P at 120hz. However, not all monitors can do this refresh rate over HDMI, many displays are restricted to Display port for 120hz and freeSync support.

This is due to display port being very common on PC and higher refresh rates being more of a big deal for PC gamers than console gamers.

I can't give you a list of which ones will support the One X, you'll need to research this yourself. Suffice as to say, there a lot of models that support 120hz over HDMI, and a huge amount that don't.

There are quite a few videos for the best monitors for Xbox One X on YouTube. The monitors in these videos will obviously support this feature. Otherwise, you'll have to check the on-line documentation for the display you're interested in. Most models
should have an online manual.

No you can go on YouTube and see other people use hdmi to DisplayPort active adapters for their Xbox series X but it has to be a active adapter with a usb plug on it to power it you can’t just use a hdmi to display port cord you won’t get picture or audio. And you’re right it’s not bidirectional it has to be hdmi to display port active adapter not display port to hdmi active adapter. And the display port hooking up to the monitor also gives it a way cleaner and more colorful and crisp picture compared to just regular hdmi to hdmi
