Xbox Series X and S performance on a 1080p Monitor

Does the 1080p support go for both the Series S and Series X, or just the Series S?

1080p is supported by both Series X / S,

However if your only playing at 1080p and have no plan's of upgrading to a 4K TV / Monitor, The Xbox Series S would be recommended as is a 1080p / 1440p gaming console and you would save £/$200, than getting the Series X, as that is a 4K gaming console and
you would never get to use the full potential of it if used on a 1080p TV / Monitor.

Yes, The Xbox Series X will play at 1080p fine, but the Xbox Series X is a 4K gaming console,

If you're not planning to upgrade to a 4K TV / Monitor, I'd say it not worth getting the Series X in my opinion, you're much better off with the Xbox Series S as that is a 1080p / 1440p gaming console and you'll save some money if you're staying at 1080p,

at 4:45 has some info on the Series S.

Most modern Monitors will work fine on the Xbox One S. Be aware though that while the One S supports 4K, it doesn't play games in 4K. Games on the One S are in 1080P (or lower and then upscaled).

Are you planning on upgrading to a Series X? If so, you should look at these.

Unfortunately you went from a PS4 to an Xbox One S, and the base PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox One S. This means that the game may be running at a lower resolution etc.

Ok thanks, i guess its better to wait for the Series X to come out then!
The Xbox Series X is a 4K gaming console, yes you can use it at 1080p but your not going to get or see the full potential out of its performance unless you have a 4K TV or Monitor that has HDMI 2.1, in my opinion, if your not getting the full potential out
of it , it's a waste of money,

I would wait and see if Microsoft reveals the Xbox Series S as that will be more aimed at 1080p / 1440p and will cost much less than the Xbox Series X.

Basically the rundown is:

Xbox Series X:

Has a spot for discs

Has better graphics

More Expensive

Xbox Series S:

Entirely Digital (No spot for a disk)

Not as great graphics but still good

Less Expensive

So it's honestly up to you whether or not you want to get the better of the consoles, though the Xbox Series S would work for everything you would want it to.

If you still aren't sure you can look at this article I found explaining it more in-depth: https://www.techradar.com/news/xbox-series-x-vs-xbox-series-s-which-xbox-will-be-right-for-you

I wouldn't consider the Series S as the lesser of the two,

These consoles are much more like PC's in term's of spec and performance than previous generation consoles, and as with PC gaming, you get / buy or build a system to what resolution and refresh rate of what your TV / Monitor is being used,

"as an example",

"Your not going to buy an RTX 3090 for your PC at £/$1,500 just for the card, that's capable of gaming at 8K to only use it on a 1080p TV / Monitor, that's a huge waste of money."

The same can be said of these new consoles,

The Series S is designed and aimed at 1080p/1440p gaming as to why the spec's of the Series S aren't as high as the Series X, because if your not planning on gaming at 4K, you don't need all that extra power that the Series X offers as that is designed and
aimed at 4K gaming.

I have a 4K TV and a 4K Gaming Monitor so for me, I'm get the Series X,

However, If I was to only have a 1080p TV / Monitor and no plan's of upgrading to 4K, I would've been getting the Series S instead.
