I am currently in the market for a gaming monitor for Xbox Series X but I'm having difficulty finding the perfect one that maximizes the series X's capabilities.

What I would like....
  • 4k HDR
  • minimum 120hz since it runs games at 120fps
  • 1-3ms response time (I play a lot of twitch shooters and racers)
  • AMD Freesynch enables

What doesn't matter to me...
  • screen size
  • company
  • Or number of hdmi/external ports

I would like my budget to be around $600 if that's realistic. But any suggestions is welcome.

Oh yeah, HDMI 2.1 hasn't really filtered down to the monitor market quite yet.

And yes I also don't like Vizio. While my old Vizio was pretty decent for a early 4K panel, the power board popped, and I was actually able to fix it. For about a week. Bought a new one from the same series. Completely different experience. OS is buggy (has issues booting sometimes), remote is simpler, for some reason the I/O moved from the left to the right, and the screen shows much more 'dirty screen' effect than I think is reasonable. Probably sell it soon and grab myself an OLED or QLED.
From what I can see that monitor does not have HDMI 2.1 and is only 4K 60Hz via HDMI.

I’ve got a Series X linked to a 4K 120Hz and to be honest 4K 120Hz is not a thing. The game that I tried was Cold War, it just suffers way to many FPS dips at 4K and I ended up setting it to 1080p. I have no idea what FPS it was dropping to at 4K but it was really noticeable and impacted the experience.
