4K free-sync monitor for Xbox one X

[steven467]

Curious what my options are. I've been eyeing the LG 24UD58-B for its nice specs and great price but it only supports free-sync via DisplayPort. Would a hdmi to DisplayPort cable work for free-sync? If not, what are some of my options? Thanks.

Currently none, since Xbox one x only support freesync over HDMI 2.1, and such a TV, let alone a monitor, do not exist yet.

Nah you're dead wrong. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't comment. In 2016, AMD aims to make smooth PC gaming even more accessible with a unique extension that enables Radeon FreeSync™ over HDMI®. Through close technical collaboration with Acer, LG, and Samsung, a growing range of new monitors are already compatible with FreeSync™ over HDMI®.

No one said FreeSync isn't supported over HDMI, the question is whether FreeSync is supported on the Xbox One X. We know so far that it supports FreeSync 2 over HDMI 2.1, there has not been any mention (though I haven't checked extensively) about whether it will also work with original FreeSync over HDMI on existing monitors.

It should also be noted that support for FreeSync over HDMI is not universal, just because a monitor supports FreeSync and has an HDMI port doesn't mean FreeSync will work over HDMI. The monitor must specifically support it. Most monitors only support FreeSync over DisplayPort.

A DisplayPort to HDMI cable will connect a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display, it will not connect an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display. If the Xbox One X supports FreeSync over HDMI on existing monitors (unsure), then you will need a monitor that supports FreeSync over HDMI. There is no possible way to make it work on monitors that only support FreeSync through DisplayPort.

Additionally, the Xbox One X officially supports Free Sync. I highly doubt that AMD would build a console that isn't compatible with any of their monitors.

you are wrong. The Xbox One X Officially supports Freesync 2, no where does it say it supports the original Freesync; they are 2 different things. No official word on if Freesync 2 is backwards compatible. Graphics cards that support Freesync will support Freesync 2 but no word on if Freesync 2 devices like the X one X will work with the original freesync; check your facts please

Do you even have an Xbox One X? The Xbox One X features tech specs such as:

2.0b (out),
2160p @ 60Hz,
AMD FreeSync

The Xbox One X supports free sync over HDMI 2.0. Your comment proves that you didn't even click on the Xbox website. People like you should just stay off of forums entirely.
