I read that you need hdmi 2.1 for the xbox series x, is that true?

Can't the xbox on a screen. Connect with hdmi 1.4?

With the best will in the world, I can't imagine being forced to buy a new monitor or television for over 1000 euro in order to be able to play, maybe someone can tell me something?

Of course it is possible. Of course, you can't use HDMI 2.1 or 2.0 functions with it.

Gu

Will it then be possible to use the 120 Hz if you do not have an HDMI 2.1 but the monitor has the 120 Hz on HDMI 1.4?

Mo

Should be possible on FullHD according to Wikipedia.

But running an XSX on FullHD is not great.

Gu

@ Benedikt789 So it will make more sense to connect the XSX to a 4k television with 60 hz?

Mo

Definitely in my opinion. Sure, the 120Hz is quite nice in games with a corresponding mode, but I would never do without 4K resolution in all other games.

A television with HDMI 2.1 would of course be even better, since you can use both. But I would wait with the purchase, next year there will be more and cheaper models for sure.

@ Benedikt789 does it make a big difference between hdmi 2.0 and hdmi 2.1?

Mo

With 2.1 you can use 4K @ 120Hz.
