The 5 Best Gaming Monitors For Xbox One X - Fall 2021 Reviews

The best 4k monitor for Xbox One X we've tested is the Dell S2721QS. It's a great budget 4k monitor with wide viewing angles, good ergonomics, and a large screen. Although designed for office use, it's a very good gaming monitor as well because it has a good response time, amazing low input lag, and FreeSync variable refresh rate support. It's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, which might be disappointing if you prefer gaming at a lower resolution and higher refresh rate, but it's a great choice for playing atmospheric games like RPGs.

Picture quality is important when gaming, and it doesn't disappoint. It has great peak brightness and very good reflection handling, so glare shouldn't be an issue in a bright room. It has superb gradient handling, an outstanding SDR color gamut, and it can display a wide color gamut when gaming in HDR. It doesn't get very bright in HDR, so it can't deliver a very impactful HDR experience.

Unfortunately, it isn't well-suited for dark room gaming because it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks appear gray in dim settings. On the upside, it has built-in speakers if you don't have any dedicated ones, as well as a Picture-in-Picture mode that lets you display two input signals simultaneously so that you can watch a movie or TV show while gaming. Overall, although it isn't the most advanced gaming monitor available, it delivers a great experience all around that should please most people.

The best gaming monitor for Xbox One X we've tested with a 1440p resolution is the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75TQSNXZA. It's a great gaming monitor available in 27 inch and 32 inch sizes, so you can choose the size that fits you best. The larger model feels more immersive, but it has the same 1440p resolution, so the image isn't as sharp because it has a lower pixel density. It's impressively well-built, and it comes with a stand that allows for a fair amount of ergonomic adjustments.

It delivers an amazing gaming experience as it has a high refresh rate, an exceptional response time, and incredibly low input lag. It has a great contrast ratio to produce deep blacks, making it a good option for people who like to game in the dark. It can display a wide color gamut and gets reasonably bright in HDR, but its local dimming performs poorly and can be distracting.

As expected for a VA panel monitor, it has mediocre viewing angles, so it isn't the best option for sharing content with others. Feature-wise, it has a USB hub with two USB 3.0 ports, which means you can plug your peripherals directly into the monitor with only a single cable connected to your PC. Overall, it's a monitor that delivers an excellent gaming experience and one that should please most gamers.

The best budget gaming monitor for the Xbox One that we've tested is the Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx. It's an excellent budget gaming monitor with a fast refresh rate, resulting in crystal-clear motion, whether you're gaming at 120Hz or 60Hz. It has fantastic low input lag, meaning you can respond quickly to the action on-screen, and it supports FreeSync variable refresh rate technology, which helps reduce screen tearing when the frame rate of your favorite game fluctuates.

It has wide viewing angles, which is great for co-op gaming, but with a relatively small 24 inch screen, it's not the best choice for couch co-op games. Visibility isn't an issue, thanks to its great peak brightness in SDR and good reflection handling. It also has excellent gray uniformity, resulting in a clean image with little dirty screen effect.

Sadly, it's not the best choice for gaming at night in a dark room, as it has low contrast and sub-par black uniformity. Despite this, it's a surprisingly excellent gaming monitor, and it's an excellent choice if you have very limited space or are on a tight budget.
