So i want to buy a 4k monitor for xbox one s. Here's the monitor :

http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-27UD68P

So the question is =
1. Is it has HDR10? Because it says
10bit ( 8bit+ A-FRC ).
2. It says GTG = 5ms, what does that mean? Some1 pls explain... And people said its better than 1ms, is it true?
3. Can i play the xbox one s with this monitor on 4k (for watching film not gaming cause i know it cant)? It has hdmi 2.0 and displayport 1.2

Thank You

That monitor is not hdr10. With only 99% srgb, it's rather poor for a 10bit monitor. You can get that on an normal 8 bit monitor. Bit depth is not accuracy. You can have 12bit but poor accuracy. It's a possibility of a wider color gamut but in this case isn't used with only 99% srgb. It doesn't change the capabilities of the display to actually take advantage. It's like encoding a video in a higher bitrate but you get no quality difference.

5ms is normal. I find it ridiculous that some places call it slow. For 60hz all you need is about 8ms to not have ghosting issues. But these specs are unregulated and are typically fastest possible and not what you'd normally get. There's no way to know the actual response times unless there is a...
gtg is grey to grey, the time it takes to change colors basically, the lower the better, 2 is good, 5 is somewhat slow

not sure what the xbox has in terms of hdmi, it doesn't have displayport correct?

a monitor is not ideal to use with a console

the 10 bit is talking about colors, accuracy and depth of those colors

the hdr10 is a technology only supported on recent ps4 and xbox one s

There's no way to know the actual response times unless there is a pro review but if there isn't just look in user reviews to see if anyone has ghosting issues.
