Xbox Series X Compatibility with the Alienware 34” UltraWide Monitor

what i can gather is hdmi 1.4 supports 1080p at 120hz and 1440p at 75hz so it will run with series x but you will be stuck at 1440/60hz most likely.

now if the series x had display port that would solve the issue.

most games will be targeting 60fps on 1440 and 4k anyway on the series x with some varying degree.

With this thing hitting the market (ALIENWARE 34 CURVED QD-OLED GAMING MONITOR - AW3423DW).

Microsoft better get 3440 x 1400 resolution support for the Series X.

Ok thanks for your assistance. I will be returning the monitor. Would you recommend not getting an ultrawide? And is there a list of monitors that are compatible with the series X so I can avoid this problem.

Adding support for 21:9 would really be an improvement for console users with ultrawide screen monitors.

Seems crazy for Microsoft to have ultrawide available for the PC version games, but not for their own console.

I don't play competitive gaming, but I could understand not allowing it in such circumstances, but if Microsoft wants an immediate leg up on Sony consoles give us support for ultrawide screen gaming.

Exactly. A lot of desktop gamers use ultrawide monitors. Alienware recently announced their brand new QD-OLED monitor - the first of its kind - which is a 34 inch curved ultrawide. This tells you the direction PC gaming is going and there's no reason why console should be any different. If these next gen consoles have the capability to do it then it should be utilised. If it involves the developers reprogramming their games then fair enough, but I don't see it being a tough job to do.

I looked into it some more and it does look really impressive! I think I would go for one of the series X does end up supporting ultrawide monitors!
