Like many other people across the globe, we got the Xbox Series X on November 10. The primary thing we checked was to determine if the latest Microsoft console is the right experience for PC gamers. As expected, it sure does. Microsoft displays its Windows-oriented heritage by introducing many helpful resolutions that are popular with PC fans. Of course, we’re referring to 1440p. If you own a high-speed QHD display with 144Hz, you’re set to go. If you own a a 4K IPS display with beautiful HDR and HDR you’re good to go.
In the interest of accuracy and fairness, major TV manufacturers Samsung as well LG have released new software that addresses the adjustable refresh rates issue with Xbox Series X. We haven’t seen any similar issue with monitors for PCs however we will be sure to keep you updated if we encounter it. Please let us know if you’ve any issues via social channels or assistance. Thank you for your support.
At the time of writing, there’s an issue running 4K 120Hz at a variable refresh rate in the Xbox Series X with TVs from the majority of top brands. The result is artifacts and black screens. We’re not sure whether this affects PC monitors as it seems to be connected to the TV firmware versions. We’ll look into it and report back this time. If you have any problems, please inform our support team. Thanks.
Extremely Fast HDMI Is Beneficial
Technically, the first major HDMI 2.1 products for the consumer are the brand-new RTX 30 cards by NVIDIA. However, this is the first time that an Xbox Series X inches out of its PS5 partner as the first fully HDMI 2.1 console. Yes, the fantastic Xbox One X already had the majority of HDMI 2.1 features such as high-resolution and auto-low latency modes but it’s now official.
Unfortunately, Xbox Series X doesn’t support DisplayPort which is still confined to the enclosure for the PC. However, the console comes with a premium ultra-high-speed HDMI cable that has an impressive 48Gbps speed that is enough for 4K 120Hz as well as 8K 60. It’s unlikely for the latter to be a standard in games, however, 8K video definitely is being considered and is a matter of.
We suggest using the supplied HDMI cable, but it’s not needed to use it for 1440p at 120Hz, as the HDMI 2.0 cable can do perfectly. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t make use of the one Microsoft provides.
Before-New Year’s Goals
On the first day of launch, Xbox Series X supports a wide range of resolutions ranging from 2160p to 720p, which is more generally referred to as 4K. The frequently-asked 2560 x 1440 resolution is officially supported as of day one. There is no need to wait for a firmware update as you can see in the photo below.
Reviving Change
In addition, for those who want high frame rate boosts the additional strength provided by this Xbox Series X now means 120Hz is essentially universal to all resolutions supported. Keep in mind that it is up to each game to support these framerate and resolution settings. The console can increase pixels, however framerates are a different issue. You can select 120Hz in the UI, but it does not mean that every game can be able to run at that speed. Every game that has the ability to run at that rate will. We’ve seen it happen. the Falconeer for instance is designed to run at 120Hz, however, it seems to go back to 60Hz, regardless of. We’re sure this is not yet resolved and the problems will be resolved.
Check out the video below. 120Hz is now supported in 1440p and 4K which are the top resolutions for modern PC gamers, we believe.
An Excellent Choice for PC Gamers
A few thoughts we had when we received the Xbox Series X was that the console is smaller than we had hoped from the images released by Microsoft. This isn’t a problem but it’s also a positive thing. It’s a great thing. Xbox Series X fits very beautifully and elegantly with a PC and monitor and, with its sleek boxy style, it’s a delight to take a look at. We’re sure that PC gamers that want to enjoy top-quality console gaming should be able to invest in the Xbox Series X, especially because support for 1440p resolution is seamless thanks to the ease that comes with connecting an HDMI cable.
To conclude this brief review of the Xbox Series X, take the time to see how small this console is. Check out the photo at the beginning of this article, or below for a comparison. Be aware that it is tiny compared to it’s predecessor, the Xbox One controller. We’ve also added the original 3.5mm adapter that was used from 2013 to 2016 period, as we appreciate the added weight it adds. The console is still small, which is because it’s!
