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

The best 4k gaming monitor for Xbox One X is the LG 27UK650-W. It's a good gaming monitor with a native refresh rate of 60Hz, perfect for console gaming, and it supports FreeSync VRR to reduce screen tearing on your Xbox One S or X.

Its input lag is incredibly low, even with VRR enabled, ensuring you get a responsive gaming experience. Its 4k resolution allows you to see more details in your games, and it has great out-of-the-box color accuracy, so you won't need to get it calibrated if you don't want to. It has wide viewing angles if you want to game with a friend, and it can get bright enough to combat glare in most rooms.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have many extra features like adding a crosshair or built-in speakers. Although it supports HDR, it fails to display a wide color gamut and doesn't very bright in that mode. However, it has two HDMI 2.0 inputs and a DisplayPort 1.2 input, so you can connect your Xbox and computer at the same time. Overall, this monitor delivers great picture quality with good gaming performance, making it the best 4k gaming monitor for Xbox One X.

The best gaming monitor for Xbox One that we've tested so far is the Acer Nitro XV273X. It has a 27 inch IPS screen that has great viewing angles, impressive peak brightness, and decent reflection handling.

It has excellent response time and input lag when playing at 60Hz, and it supports variable refresh rate for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. There's almost no visible dirty screen effect, and while black uniformity is decent, its contrast ratio is rather low, so blacks will look more like gray in dark rooms. Its build quality and ergonomics are equally good, allowing for all manner of adjustments, and it has a flicker-free backlight to help with eye strain. Additionally, the monitor has built-in speakers, so you can use it like a TV if you don't have the room for dedicated desktop speakers.

Unfortunately, even though HDR is supported on this monitor, it can't produce a wide color gamut and its peak brightness in HDR mode isn't enough to make highlights pop. On the whole, although the Xbox One can't fully take advantage of the full 240Hz refresh rate, the Acer is still great with outstanding gaming performance, making it the best Xbox One gaming monitor we've tested.

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 can help clear up the image. The backlight is flicker-free and 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.
