The 5 Best Gaming Monitors For Xbox One X - Summer 2020
Reviews

The best 4k gaming monitor for Xbox One X is the LG 27UK650-W. It has good all-around performance and includes great gaming features packed into a stylish, modern design. It has two HDMI 2.0 ports so you can connect your Xbox One and a computer at the same time.

It's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, but this shouldn't a problem if you're just gaming with an Xbox One X. It has FreeSync support to drop the refresh rate as low as 40Hz to help reduce screen tearing. Its response time is great, resulting in minimal motion blur, and it has a low input lag which only slightly increases with VRR enabled. It has great out-of-the-box colors, it can get very bright, and due to its IPS panel, it has wide viewing angles, which is great for co-op gaming. It supports HDR10, but it doesn't display a wide color gamut and it doesn't get bright enough to bring out highlights, so content in that mode doesn't look much different than SDR content.

Unfortunately, it doesn't perform well in dark rooms as it has a low contrast ratio and sub-par black uniformity. However, it has excellent gray uniformity as only the edges of the screen are slightly darker and there's no dirty screen effect in the center. Overall, this is the best gaming monitor for Xbox One X with a 4k resolution that we've tested so far.

The best gaming monitor for Xbox One is the Acer Nitro XV273X. It's a good overall monitor with excellent gaming performance, and even though the 1080p resolution is limiting for other uses, it's perfect for Xbox One gaming. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and it has native FreeSync support.

When playing with a 60Hz refresh rate, motion looks exceptionally clear as this monitor has an incredible response time. Even though there are other monitors with a lower input lag at 60Hz than this one, it's still incredibly low and better than most TVs, giving you a responsive gaming experience. The picture quality is good, despite the low resolution, as it has remarkable out-of-the-box color accuracy, wide viewing angles, great peak brightness, and if you game in a bright room, it has decent reflection handling.

Unfortunately, it has a low contrast ratio, which is normal for a monitor with an IPS panel. It supports HDR10, but it doesn't display a wide color gamut for that mode, so HDR gaming isn't anything special. Luckily, it has built-in speakers and a USB hub to charge your devices. Overall, this is the best monitor for Xbox One that we've tested so far.

The best budget gaming monitor for the Xbox One that we've tested so far is the ASUS VG279Q. This 27 inch monitor is well-built for its budget price, and it has outstanding ergonomics, making it easy to adjust the monitor to your optimal viewing position.

This monitor has great motion handling that results in a clear picture with minimal blur trail behind fast-moving objects. Response time is good, even when playing at 60Hz, and it has an optional black frame insertion feature that helps reduce motion blur. The input lag is also really low at 60Hz, although it increases a bit with VRR enabled. There are a few extra features that may be useful for some, such as the ability to put a crosshair on the screen for shooter games and a frame rate counter overlay. It has a matte coating that diffuses light well and its impressive peak brightness can overcome glare in any bright environment.

Sadly, dark room performance is a different story, as its IPS panel has a mediocre contrast ratio and sub-par black uniformity. All-in-all, it delivers great gaming performance, making it the best budget gaming monitor for Xbox One.
