Question about monitor

[kingoftheproz]

Hello, i got a detailed question. So i want this 4k monitor for the xboxone x, but i wanna know it has display port 1.2 and hdmi but it doesn’t support 4k@60hz it supports 4k@24hz will a HDMI 2.0 to display port 1.2 adapter make this monitor display at 4k@60hz ? Thanks this is the monitor https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fw... and the hdmi 2.0 display port adapter https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fw...

No, it will not support 4k@60 Hz via HDMI (even with a DP adapter). The monitor doesn't support HDMI 2.0. If your source (PC, laptop, etc.) does not have a DisplayPort output, I recommend not purchasing this for your setup. In addition, G-Sync requires an Nvidia GPU and DisplayPort connection.

Im gonna be using it for xboxone x though

The monitor you linked doesn't support HDMI 2.0. You need to search for a 4K monitor that supports HDMI 2.0. Then you can use an HDMI cable from your Xbox to the monitor without an adapter.

I read here somone had same question and i dont know seems like it fixed his problem im trying to see if this output would work http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3605466/asus-monitor-supporting.html

There is a couple of points to make here. You might be right. I did not know that HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 converters exist. That may work in this case. However, the adapter link you provided is not correct. That adapter is for converting from DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0. From what I can see, the converters are not cheap and hard to come by.

Here are a few that I have found:

SIIG CE-H22Z11-S1

GoMax CV-524

I do not think it is worth it. I stand by my original recommendation.

Yeah i had a feeling it was possible, but see i want this monitor because it has good specs and i doubted it cause of the 4k@24hz but saw you can make it run at 4k@60hz so i changed my mind but any of those links will work for the monitor to run at 4k@60hz ?

Would this work for xboxone x https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162565623789

It is becoming very apparent to me that you really want this monitor. Those are a few adapters that I found. They seem hard to come by. You may want to hunt around for other options.

You may have to cross one device off the list. From the Amazon link, it says that the SIIG CE-H22Z11-S1 will not work with your monitor at 4K:

"Not fully compatible with Nvidia G-Sync monitors due to mismatched timings. Only supports up to 1080p for these monitors."

That is not the right converter/adapter. That has a HDMI input and HDMI output. You are specifically looking for HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2.

 

[kingoftheproz]

Well i actually do, i just wanna make sure i get the right one but idk which one will work, so do the others work or they turned down as well

 

[kingoftheproz]

I really dont know what to do, could you maybe help me find one that works with my monitor ? would the partlink work?

 

[kingoftheproz]

You think i should get this monitor instead ? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F182555965390

Partilink replied to me and said that it will not work with G-Sync monitors. From what I can see, most converters do not work with G-Sync monitors. I am curious to know the reason. Hopefully they will respond to me with a reason why.

That monitor supports 4k@60 Hz via HDMI 2.0. This website gave it good reviews:

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-mg28uq-28-inch-uhd-freesync-gaming-monitor,4683.html

I would go with this one. The other monitor will be a big headache if you are hunting around for a converter that works.

 

[kingoftheproz]

Oh damit that sucks ? i really want the monitor tbh cause of its specs

 

[kingoftheproz]

But the link i sent you says its a ips ? why does that say tn

 

[lolnole]

Oh damit that sucks ? i really want the monitor tbh cause of its specs

The converter technology is not mainstream yet. These are small no-name companies.

 

[kingoftheproz]

Yeah i agree on that, well the monitor i sent you is my choice but its a ips right? cause it says that in the description

 

[lolnole]

The Asus MG28UQ is not an IPS. It's TN. The smaller 24" ASUS MG24UQ is an IPS. I don't know why Asus they did that.

The eBay listing is not correct.

 

[kingoftheproz]

Yeah see im not looking for a tn pannel im looking for a ips, see that asus pg27uq had ips but no hdmi2.0 i have no clue of what monitor to get im stuck because i looked at many and they have ups and downs, im only gonna be using it for xboxone x by the way

 

[kingoftheproz]

How about this one ? Can i run 4k@60hz https://www.asus.com/au/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/

 

[lolnole]

May I suggest looking for a monitor from LG. They have 4K IPS monitors with FreeSync.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q is a 2K monitor.

 

[kingoftheproz]

You have any in mind?

 

[kingoftheproz]

Before you suggest how about this one, but idk people said the fan inside is loud and gets annoying but would that happen playing on a xboxone x https://www.asus.com/au/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27UQ/
