With Halo Infinite, the console-defining, highly-anticipated entry in the coveted 343-era Halo trilogy, Xbox Series X owners should treat themselves to some of the best and most immersive gaming monitors this Holiday season. Next-gen consoles are going to have a much larger library as time goes on, since several delays in recent years have pushed games to come in 2022 and beyond.
The Xbox Series X boasts 12 teraflops of processing power and is equipped with AMD's Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architectures, Direct-X, ray tracing, shadows, and accurate reflections. The technical prowess that the Series X displays can only be fully optimized when accompanied by the proper gaming monitors. What do you say, Spartans? Here are the best gaming monitors for the Xbox Series X available right now.
Updated on November 28, 2023 by Sai Vsr: There are a lot of monitors that work well for the Xbox Series X, but we've ensured that the ones we recommend fit your needs best. In this recent update, we have upgraded this list with one more really cool option from Alienware.
9 Alienware AW2723DF
The Alienware AW2723DF should definitely be on your radar if you're looking to upgrade your display. Right away you’ll notice the blazing 280Hz variable refresh rate, overclockable up to a blistering 280Hz. This enables remarkably fluid visuals to keep pace with the fastest shooters and racers without tearing or stuttering.
Plus, this being an IPS panel means you don't have to sacrifice vibrant colors and viewing angles to get lighting reflexes. We're talking rich, accurate tones covering 95% of DCI-P3 and reinforced by IPS Nano Color. And with a 1ms GtG response time, input lag becomes virtually non-existent for ultra-responsive competitive gaming.
8 Samsung Odyssey G7
Starting off with a bang is the Samsung Odyssey G7. This monitor offers both a 27 and 32-inch screen size with 1440p resolution and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. Though not the largest option in the catalog, the Odyssey G7 provides an excellent image with a low response time and a curved display, which is ideal for competitive online shooters such as Splitgate.
This is likely one of your best options for 1440p Xbox Series X monitors, but the $700-$800 price point and 1000R curved screen might prove to buffer out those looking for something a little more simplistic, both in design and functionality. All of that aside, the image quality and low input lag pack quite a punch.
7 Asus VG27AQ
For those looking for a more affordable option when compared to the Odyssey G7, the Asus VG27AQ offers an incredible package for a great price. Though restricted to only a 27-inch screen size, it can display images at 1440p at up to 165 Hz via HDMI.
Similar to the Odyssey G7, the Asus VG27AQ boasts a low response time and input lag via FreeSync 2 and G-Sync Compatible, along with great image quality. Though significantly cheaper than the previous entry, this monitor proves to be highly capable with next-gen consoles and their litany of new features.
6 Acer Predator CG7
If the other monitors didn't quite suit your fancy in the screen size department, the Acer Predator CG7 will surely meet, and quite possibly surpass expectations. Boasting a beefy 43-inch screen size and a 16:9 aspect ratio at 4K resolution, the Predator CG7 delivers ultra-responsive gaming and impressive contrast. According to Acer, the Predator CG7 will run at 120 Hz at 1440p, offering gamers the option to lower the resolution in favor of better speed.
The monitor includes a whole bunch of other impressive specs in regards to brightness and color but currently stands at over $1,100. Pricey, but you get what you give in this case. Those looking to dive back into the Halo universe in style should seriously consider looking into Acer's high-end products.
5 BenQ EX2510
We haven't touched too much upon the actual design of some of these monitors, and the BenQ EX2510's ergonomic design is the best place to start. Providing accurate and rich colors and AMD FreeSync up to 144Hz with a 24.5-inch screen size, the EX2510 is yet another affordable, but completely capable entry in the catalog. When compared to its slightly larger counterpart (EX2710), the smaller screen size means denser pixels, resulting in noticeably sharper details and on-screen text - perfect for those story-driven RPGs.
Its 178-degree wide viewing angles won't shift brightness, contrast, or color when looking at it from different angles either. The BenQ EX2510 offers a strong stand at 130mm (~ 5-inch) height adjustment, +/- 20-degree swivel, and -5-degree/20-degree tilt. Having a strong stand is imperative, especially during those inevitable rage moments. The monitor is available for purchase at $229.99 via Amazon and is currently an Amazon's Choice product.
4 BenQ MOBIUZ EX2710
Although its little brother offers denser pixels and sharper details, the EX2710 boasts a 27-inch screen size with 1080p resolution at up to 144Hz. The EX2710 allows for smooth and responsive gameplay at an affordable price. The monitor has a 1ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) and AMD FreeSync Premium that ultimately minimizes blur and artifacts.
In an effort to pack even more of a proverbial punch, the EX2710 offers "exceptional audio," with two 2.5W speakers and a Digital Signal Processor packed with three customizable sound modes. On top of this, its Light Tuner lets the player choose from up to 20 color settings. For the proposed price, the BenQ EX2710 is an absolute steal and should be on everyone's radar.
3 LG UltraGear GP83B-B
Though not very eloquent in name, the LG UltraGear GP83B-B surely makes up for it in specs. It has a screen size of 27-inches QHD 2560x1440 with three sides virtually borderless and a speed of IPS 1ms at 165 Hz (NVIDIA and G-Sync Compatible). The incredibly speedy refresh rates offer a rich and detailed picture.
Its Nano IPS technology supports high-fidelity color, while the HDR10 offers dynamic contrast. Though simplistic in its design, the GP83B-B can be raised, lowered, tilted, and pivoted to meet your gaming needs. What really sells this monitor, is its built-in Black Stabilizer, delivering pro-level gaming experiences for enhanced vision.
2 Gigabyte M28U
Talk about all in one. The Gigabyte M28U gaming monitor offers smooth gameplay with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro with a refresh rate of 144Hz and 1ms Response Time. At 28-inches, the M28U is the perfect middle ground between some of the other options in the catalog. It also comes packed with its own iteration of black stabilization and Studio Grade VESA Display HDR400 and 94 percent DCI-P3 (120 percent sRGB) Color Gamut. Try and say that five times over.
The true icing on the cake is its OSD Sidekick and Auto-Update features. Its OSD Sidekick feature allows you to set the display options whenever you want with your keyboard and mouse. Though it might be hard to come by online, the M28U absolutely deserves your time. It stands at a hefty $600 value, but when you take into consideration everything it offers, the M28U might just be one of the best options available.
1 Acer Nitro XV282K KVbmiipruzx
Yet another 4K, 144Hz gaming monitor, the Acer Nitro XV282K is sometimes considered a better alternative to the Gigabyte M28U due to its lower input lag at 60Hz.
Though it might be hard to get your hands on, this monitor is highly capable when it comes to your next-gen needs. It comes with an HDMI 2.1 that supports Xbox Series X at 4K, 120 Hz. It currently stands at a retail price of $899.99.
