The 5 Best Gaming Monitors For Xbox One X - Summer 2022 Reviews

The best gaming monitor we've tested for the Xbox One X and the Xbox One S is the Dell S2722QC. It's a very good monitor, and although it's designed for office use, it also delivers a decent gaming experience that's good enough for the Xbox One X. The 4k resolution delivers sharp images, and the 27-inch screen is big enough for an immersive viewing experience, and it doesn't have issues displaying any signal up to 60Hz from the Xbox, but you can't play higher frame rate games.

This monitor has an okay response time at 60Hz, resulting in very little blur behind fast-moving objects. It also supports FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) technology, ensuring a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It has excellent low input lag, which is great for rhythm-based games or anything that relies on a quick reaction time. While it doesn't perform well in dark rooms because it has a low contrast ratio, it's still a good choice if you want to use it in a well-lit room as it gets bright enough to fight glare and has good reflection handling.

If you want something a bit cheaper, the best mid-range monitor for the Xbox One X that we've tested is the LG 27GP850-B. The LG is a bit different from the Dell S2722QC because it has a lower 1440p resolution. It means it's ideal for playing 1440p games, but it can also downscale 4k games to 1440p, which results in a sharper image than native 1440p signals.

While the LG has a lower resolution than the Dell, it makes up for this with its 180Hz refresh rate, meaning you can play 1080p and 1440p games up to 120 fps from the Xbox. In terms of its performance, it has a great response time with minimal blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It also has a backlight-strobing feature that reduces persistence blur. The input lag is really low for a responsive feel, and its FreeSync VRR feature works without issue from the Xbox.

Should you be looking for something on a budget, then we recommend the LG 27GN800-B. It's very similar to the LG 27GP850-B, with the main difference being that it has a worse stand that only has a tilt adjustment, so it's hard to place in an ideal viewing position. However, if that isn't a problem for you, it delivers a great gaming experience for less money. It has the same 1440p resolution and high refresh rate as the 27GP850-B, and although it has a lower 144Hz refresh rate, it doesn't make much of a difference with the Xbox as it can't reach that frame rate anyways. It displays any signal from the Xbox as it downscales 4k content without issue.

Motion looks great on this monitor as it has a great response time at 60Hz, and the input lag is also low at that frame rate. Although it doesn't have many extra features, which is what you expect from a budget-friendly monitor, it does have a backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur.

If you want a bigger display than a typical monitor and don't want to spend more on a TV, the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U is a great choice for the Xbox One X or the Xbox One S. It's a 4k display like the Dell S2722QC, but the main difference is it has a 43-inch screen, so it's a good choice if you like to sit back and play games with a friend sitting next to you. It's actually designed more for the Xbox Series X than Xbox One X because it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth compatible with the Series X, but that also means it doesn't have any problems with the One X.

It has great picture quality as it displays deep blacks in dark rooms with incredible black uniformity as there's minimal blooming around bright objects. HDR also looks impressive as highlights pop and colors are vivid. Looking at the gaming performance, it has low input lag for a responsive feel, but you'll notice a blur trail behind fast-moving objects. Also, if you find the 43-inch screen too big for you, the Dell S3221QS is a 32-inch 4k display with basic gaming features and performance, but its picture quality isn't as good as on the Gigabyte.

The Xbox One came out before the Xbox One X and One S, and it's different from the other versions. It's limited to a 1080p resolution, and you can't play 120Hz games like on the other consoles. It means you only need a basic 1080p monitor for gaming with the Xbox One. In that case, the best monitor for Xbox One is the Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx. It's a great low-cost gaming monitor with a fast response time at 60Hz when you disable the overdrive setting, meaning fast-moving objects are crystal-clear. It also has fantastic low input lag, meaning you can respond quickly to the action on-screen.

The Acer has wide viewing angles, which is great for co-op gaming, but with a relatively small 24-inch screen, details look small, and it doesn't offer the most immersive experience. It also has remarkable ergonomics that make it easy to adjust the screen to an ideal viewing position, making it a great choice for gaming with the Xbox One.
