Xbox Series X with Dell S2719DGF and the ability to run 1440p 120Hz

Hi

Was looking at a 27 or 32. I would like to purchase the Dell S2719DGF BUT I read that there are problems getting true 1440p resolution at 120hz on the Xbox with it. It apparently only lets you run 1080 at 120hz or 1440 at 60hz. The other 2 monitors you mentioned
are quite pricey. I live in South Africa and monitors get a hefty import tax. I am not sure if you known whether the issues with the Dell monitor supporting 1440/120 on the Xbox have been sorted out ?

You will need the Xbox Series X for 4K 120hz. The Series S can only do 1440p 120hz

Hi ! Do you know if Xbox series X will support and run in 1440p/120hz with a MSI Optix MAG27CQ ?

Thanks for your help

That doesnt answer the question is it going to work for older monitors that are hdmi 2.0 that didn't run at the 1440p 120hz they were supposed to run at on xbox one x i bought a viotek monitor gft27db was supposed to run 1440p 120hz over the hdmi 2.0 but
it doesn't on the one x only runs at 1080p 120hz with freesync on or 1440p 60hz no freesync will series x solve this issue thats what he wants to know i have heard it was a bandwidth issue but with the new console having higher bandwidth i would guess it would
solve the issue but would like to know for sure

Hi neversatisfied415,

I’m about 99% sure there is nothing wrong with your Xbox One. The supported resolution and refresh rate is 1080P/1440P @ 120hz. It wont go higher than that. As for that Dell monitor, on these forums I have come across people having issues with getting 120hz
over 1440P on that model. Could it be that the feature was not activated via firmware? Only Dell Support can help you there.

I have been thinking about a 1440P monitor for a while now and so far my research is pointing towards the Gigabyte models where the user manuals state support for 1440p/120hz. I am waiting to see what resolutions are supported by Series X and if we finally
get 3440x1440 before commiting.

My suggestion is before committing to any 1440P monitor check the user manual to see if it clearly states support for 1440P/120Hz over HDMI. I would also be looking at newer released models of monitors (2019 onwards)
