I ordered a 4K monitor and have now connected to my Xbox one via hdmi and the picture does not really look 4K, I read about Display Port looks better but my Xbox one has no Display Port connection, I can with the Cable in the picture connect my xbox one and the monitor and then get the full power?
Should work. However, you have the converter / adapter a worse picture than if you use a pure display port cable.
Thanks, unfortunately, the Xbox one / Xbox one x does not have such a display port connection, quite annoying
Jo I know that but the monitor has an HDMI port. Why do not you just take a normal HDMI cable?
This will probably not work better than if you connect the TV directly to HDMI. Especially in the cable, a chip is installed, which converts the HDMI signal into a DP signal. That means you still get input lag.
See if you have to change anything on the XBox to get 4K. According to the Internet, this is how it works: Press the Xbox button and go to System> Settings>> Display & Sound> Video Output. For the TV resolution, select 4K UHD.
And which XBOX revision do you have? The normal one?
I have, especially a 4K hdmi cable But the picture does not really sharp, rather a bit spongy and out of focus, because the picture looked better on my old 1080p monitor. Or is it because I still have the old Xbox one and not the Xbox one x supports the 4K?
"HDMI signal into a DP signal"
That's technically nonsense.
Unfortunately have the Xbox one (old), but thanks anyway for the help!
Exactly. The "normal" or old XBOX One can't yet 4K. Only the One S Can 4K (only upscaled) and the One X can correct 4K.
Exactly have unfortunately still the standard Xbox one
Achso understand then that's just the old Xbox.
Yes, then it is normal that the picture looks bad because the NAtive resolution of the monitor is higher than that of the Xbox. So either upgrade to a S or X or even convert the monitor if it still works and swap it for a 1080P monitor.
I have to admit that I do not know the exact differences between HDMI and DP, but there must be some reason for doing this, for example. Via DP multiple monitors in series can be connected in series and not via HDMI or that for HDMI royalties are required and for DP not. Therefore, I assume that both are not exactly the same thing sent over the cable.
You have a (normal) XBox, connect it to a 4K display and think that the picture looks bad? What do you expect? The XBox outputs a maximum of native 1080p, mostly only 900p and sometimes even only 720p. Upscaling to 4K through the monitor only makes the picture even worse!
If you re-paint a 50-year-old car, it does not drive better!
Since the normal Xbox One does not support 4K, brings you a cable synonymous nothing. So it depends on the scaling capabilities of the monitor, but a real 4K you will not reach so naturally that the Xbox output is at a maximum of 1080p
DP has something called "HDMI compatability mode" or "Dual-mode" (do not know which is the correct term).
Officially, devices that support this should have a DP ++ logo, but devices that support this rarely use it.
If the device supports this then the graphics chip can automatically detect if such an adapter is used and send an HDMI signal via the DP cable. There must be no active conversion.
It only amazes me because it looks a lot better on my old 1080p monitor
Or. The only conversion that make this cable is a change in voltage, since DP works with 3.3v and HDMI with 5v. But that takes picoseconds. It does not have to be calculated or something like that.
That's probably upscaling. Or he was just smaller, then it is automatically sharper.
