Xbox Series S - Changing Resolution to 1440p makes image look washed out

Hi,

This is the same monitor as I have. I mainly use it for my PC, but I've also connected my Series S to it too. Unfortunately, you won't be able to select 1440P and 120Hz on the LG 27GN850 as it tops out at 100Hz on HDMI at 1440P.

The work around is to change the resolution to 1080P and then select 120Hz. Games on the Series X will still render at 4K but be super-sampled down to 1080P. Yes, it's not as good as the native resolution, but the loss in picture quality shouldn't be that
noticeable. I'm pretty impressed how my Series S looks on it.

I have tried trouble shooting the resolution but the game it’s self looks pixelated playing at 1080p on a 1440p monitor when I play any game on the Xbox series s. but if I play the same game on the Xbox one x it plays at the native resolution at 1440p

Hi,

The maximum supported resolution of Series S will be 1440P. Series X just like the Xbox One X before it will support 1440P too.

It will work on your monitor, don't worry.

Hi, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

However, the image is still excellent and for a screen smaller than 37 inches, the quality of the 720p images is practically similar to that of higher resolution televisions. If your HDTV only has 720p and 1080i as options, you should select 720p for the best resolution.

A 1080p TV offers the best picture quality, allowing you to enjoy Blu-ray movies in the resolution they were designed for. Each line of pixels on the screen is redrawn 60 times per second or faster.

This reduces motion blur and creates a sharp image.

Does your picture look bad? The best way to optimise the image is to choose a resolution closest to your screens native resolution. You won't be able to do that with an HDMI type connection though, so if the image looks washed out, you're best swapping
to a HD-VGA cable.
