The Xbox Series X ticks quite a few modern upgrades to your console gaming experience. So should the gaming monitor you use with it.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Only the best monitors for Xbox Series X can truly do that next-gen console justice. Trust us on this: where your Xbox gaming experience is concerned, an excellent 4K monitor with HDMI 2.1 ports, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR capability is this consoles ideal match. After all, the Xbox Series X is packing power massive enough to handle even 8K gaming (according to
Microsoft, at least), so anything less than 4K/60fps gameplay might put a damper on things.

The only snag is that while 4K gaming panels have been around for a while, theyre not exactly all-around affordable. Budget and mid-range 4K monitors have to make sacrifices while the kitted-out ones will cost you an arm and a leg. So, before you commit, know that the price of entry isnt going to be wallet-friendly. However, if you do have the cash, that ultimate monitor for your Xbox Series X will be more than worth the splurge.

To help you narrow down your options and make it easier to choose, we
gathered the best monitors for Xbox Series X below. For good measure, weve even included our price comparison tool so that you might save a few bucks
if a monitor deal is available. (Image credit: Acer) 1. Acer Nitro XV282K

Best Xbox Series X monitor overall Screen size: 28-inch | Resolution: 4K | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Ports: 2 x HDMI 2.1 | HDR: VESA DisplayHDR 400 Great picture quality Excellent gaming features Average contrast

Also our top pick as the best monitor for PS5 , the Acer Nitro XV282Ks appeal to console gamers is undeniable. It has all the makings of an excellent Xbox Series X and PS5 display without the incredibly steep price. Dont get us wrong; its still plenty expensive, but less so than other options out there. As long as youre okay with a smaller 28-inch screen and only DisplayHDR 400. Neither are deal-breakers anyway, especially since youre getting that impeccable ultra HD resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate thanks to its two HDMI 2.1 ports. Plus, that size is just perfect for desk gaming. (Image credit: Acer) 2. Acer Predator CG7

Best big-screen monitor for Xbox Series X Screen size: 43-inch | Resolution: 4K | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Ports: 3 x HDMI 2.1 | HDR: VESA DisplayHDR 1000 Responsive with G-Sync support Plenty of ports Lacking in features for something expensive

The Acer Predator CG7 might burn a 43-inch monitor-sized hole in your bank account, but theres no denying this is the ultimate monitor for console gaming. Its massive size isnt the only thing that will put you smack in the middle of the action; its 4K resolution and proper DisplayHDR 1000 will as well. Being a sort of TV replacement, theres also a whole lot of ports here, so if you also want to use it to connect your PS5, gaming PC, and laptop not to mention, your slew of peripherals have at it. Were also fond of its RGB lighting in the back so be sure to turn that on. We only wish it also supported Dolby Vision, especially considering its price.

Best affordable Xbox Series X monitor Screen size: 27-inch | Resolution: 4K | Refresh rate: 60Hz | Ports: 2 x HDMI 2.0 | HDR: None Beautiful image with Freesync compatibility Good price to performance ratio 60Hz refresh rate

Those who cannot afford a monitor over $1,000/1,000 youve just splurged on
an Xbox Series X, after all will be glad to know that they have a cheaper option. The more affordably priced LG 27UD88-W will deliver that sharp 4K gameplay you want in a 27-inch package without costing a fortune, and its a terrific prospect for those who arent too picky about picture quality. There is a caveat, however. Its HDMI 2.0 ports mean that your Xbox Series X experience tops out at 30fps so it isnt going to be the smoothest. Still, its an excellent monitor to tide you over until youve replenished your savings

Best HDR monitor for Xbox Series X Screen size: 43-inch | Resolution: 4K | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Ports: 2 x HDMI 2.1 | HDR: VESA DisplayHDR 1000
Fabulous gaming display Proper HDR Strange port placement

The Gigabyte Aorus FV43U is the monitor that rules them all, size-wise, HDR support-wise and if you have a lot of money to spare, its worth taking a look. While it does have the same features as the Acer Predator CG7 DisplayHDR 1000, 120Hz refresh rate, 4K resolution and also sits around the same price point, it has a few aces up its sleeves. That includes its
terrific sounding 12W speakers and its Quantum Dot panel for even more
vibrant colors and much better viewing angles, not to mention a higher DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. And, thats while being ever so slightly cheaper as
well.

Best OLED display for Xbox Series X Screen size: 47.5-inch | Resolution: 4K | Refresh rate: 120Hz | Ports: 2 x HDMI 2.1 | HDR: HDR10/HLG Deep contrast and vibrant colors youd expect from OLED Suprisingly great audio quality Not as bright as LCD rivals

Youll quite easily forgive the exorbitantly-priced Gigabyte Aorus FO48U for not missing out on things like Dolby Vision. This absolutely gorgeous gaming monitor already has most of the things you could want from an Xbox Series X monitor an almost 50-inch display, ultra HD resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, Adaptive-Sync, and HDR and then some. And, by some we dont just mean its speakers that blast excellent audio quality, though that is a nice addition. We actually mean its OLED panel that delivers deep blacks, vibrant colors,
and excellent contrast. Gaming on this is an absolutely glorious experience, and if you havent gotten into OLED monitors yet, heres a compelling reason to do it. These are the best gaming monitors
