Xbox series Hardware monitoring

Hello MohaWX! I'm Claus, an Independent Microsoft Community Consultant for Xbox! Glad to be able to help you!

That kind of information isn't available directly on your console's Dashboard, and cannot be accessed. Given that to get a hold of some internal services of the Xbox console are most likely only available on the Xbox SDK, you'd need to get a development unit to be able to create a program to do so, which isn't what your are trying to do. So, basically, there's no way to do hardware monitoring on your console.

Hi ClausReich,

Thanks for your answer.

So it's only possible with the Xbox SDK ?
No way to do that whit a Retail Xbox in Dev mode ?
like here : Xbox One Developer Mode activation - UWP applications | Microsoft Docs

You're welcome!

Most of the features from SDKs aren't freely available to be checked, so I can't give you a firm answer regarding the availability of that feature on the SDK. But it is most unlikely that this feature doesn't exist, and it is only available for the internal OS services.

It's really recommended to look for monitors that have been fully tested on the Series X|S hardware before going out and buying one. There are loads of videos on YouTube of compatible displays.

I can also recommend checking out Rtings recommended Series X displays:

Also, Digital Foundry do a regular round up of best monitors for the current generation of consoles over on the Eurogamer website.

The Xbox Series X will do 120Hz but no more, regardless of resolution or monitor.

I would check to see if other Xbox Series X owners have confirmed to achieve 1440p120Hz on those monitors before purchasing.

Maybe a google of "xbox series x 1440p 120hz ___________ " and insert the monitor model to see if people have posted about their monitor and Series X working.
