Hey.

I will be buying the Xbox One X once it's out. Now, I'm going to be buying a 60hz 4K monitor with 1MS response time. Will I need a DP to get the actual 1ms response time or could I just use a HDMI 2.0 cable? I can't use DP as the Xbox One X doesn't have a DP port.

I heard that I'll only get 1ms response time if I use DP or HDMI 2.0. I am not completely sure if HDMI 2.0 is going to give me 1ms which is why I'm asking. Do you guys think I'll be able to use a 4K Monitor with 1ms response time + a HDMI 2.0 cable with the Xbox One X? & will I be getting the 1ms respnse time?

Sorry if this sounds stupid. I just want to clear this up.

Thank you.

The 1ms response time have nothing to do with the cable or your pc/console. It is the grey to grey pixel change time for displaying. For 4k/60hz you need Display Port or HDMI 2.0, as older HDMI (v1.4) versions only able to get 30hz on 4k. I would not look too much into the response time, because 1ms and 4ms are not much of a difference. In example 4ms IPS panel can be very great for gaming and can have less input lag for gaming even against 1ms rated TN panel.

Edit: I corrected a misleading information about HDMI.

As mentioned, response time doesn't depend on the cable type.
 
You need to be careful: many monitors will say they support this, but they will only do it through non-HDMI inputs, which will not work with the XB1X or S
