Xbox Series X - Dell Monitor

Marcus Woods1 · Sep 12, 2022

Hi,

I am trying to connect my Dell monitor to my xbox through a HDMI to DP cable. when I plug it in, nothing happens on the monitor screen and suggests there is no signal. the HDMI to USB-C cable will connect my MacBook Pro perfectly fine as an external monitor but not for my xbox. could someone explain how I get this working please? I'm happy to purchase adaptors, cables, etc.

thanks a lot,

Marcus

my monitor on.y has a DisplayPort option though

DisplayPort is not a bidirectional connection. You need to use actual HDMI

Yep, in compatible games that monitor can do 1080p at 120FPS with a Series X, as confirmed in this RTINGS review: -

I would shop around though, cos there may be better options for Xbox use at a similar price.

Hello, thank you. I have a Dell s2417dg 1440p 144/165hz monitor was looking forward to using it for my Xbox Series X once it arrives for playing a few games at 120fps but i don't think that is possible since my monitor only supports HDMI 1.4 and DP 1.2.

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.
