    Xbox won’t display in 4k on my monitor


    I bought a Omen 27” display. It says optimal is in 2560x1440 60hz but I can’t switch from current mode, 1920x1080 60hz. because of this, I can’t turn on my Xbox’s 4K. Any help?

    Xbox One X Scorpio Edition Going well

    Ok folks to give you an update and I need some help.

    I finally got round to connecting up my xbox X to my Acer Predator XB281HK 4K monitor, via HDMI. only to realise my monitor is HDMI 1.4. Xbox is HDMI 2.0. which means I cannot get 60Hz 4K. My pc is also connected to this monitor but via Display port. Which
    is fine and running at 4K. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get 4K running on my current monitor. Is it worth me getting a HDMI to display port cable and giving that a go which means I will need to buy some sort of switch, so I can go between
    PC and xbox on one display port. Or can someone suggest a good 4K gaming monitor that will be compatible with my XBOX X and PC.

    Xbox one X HDMI to display port on monitor

    I currently have a Xbox one X and a Samsung monitor that is 4K. The monitor supports freesync but only on its display port not on its HDMI port. I am having a problem finding a cable that will do HDMI from the Xbox to the display port on the monitor
    that will utilize Freesync And display in 4K at 60 Hz. Does this cable exist or is this possible?

    Xbox won’t display in 4k on my monitor

    Hi

    This monitor is not a 4K monitor it is only a 1440P monitor and this will probably be why this option is not selectable for you.

    Also just to let you know the Xbox Insider community is currently testing the Xbox spring update and this will add 1440P support.

    One X 4k issues

    Make sure your monitor supports HDMI 2.0 so it can do 4k at 60hz. HDMI 1.4 can only do 4k at 30hz and the xbox one does not support that. For example, my monitor does not support 4k 60hz with HDMI but it does with display port. My max resolution is 1440p
    on HDMI. I do have HDMI 2.0 though, but something must not be detecting it properly.

    Monitors are trickier than TVs because auto-detect sometimes does not work correctly and the xbox does not know that the monitor can do 4k at 60hz through HDMI. And if you select Manual from Auto Detect on the xbox one settings, you can't select 4k because
    4k is only available when you have auto detect enabled, to my knowledge.

    Display port is one thing that monitors like yours have, that support 4k at 60hz and more, but the xbox does not officially support display port and you would need a special "active" adapter for that and xbox can't guarantee that that will work.
