I have the same monitor for my Series X. I loved it to bits until I took delivery of my 65 inch Sony XH95 with 1000nit peak brightness.

The Sony blows the Dell out of the water when it comes to colour, black levels, peak brightness and most importantly HDR. The latter remains a glaring weakness for gaming monitors.

Fingers crossed there will be affordable micro LED tvs next year that are capable of real HDR(600nits+).

Hey, i'm looking for a 4K TV just for gaming and I can't decide which one to get. Both my 1080p TV's are between 7-10 yrs old (Samsung and Toshiba). I'm budget conscious and prefer a 43" but willing to go 50". I've considered Samsung, HiSense, Sony.

My BIG question is a TV that runs at native 60Hz but can do 120Hz like Samsung's Trumotion. Is that good enough for the XBOX Series X and PS5? The Series X which I have, (still waiting to get a PS5) is advertised to do Native 120Hz. So i'm concerned that if I get a TV that does 60Hz Native but can jump to 120Hz will produce stutters and judders while playing games.

Thoughts?

Are there TV’s that can take a 120hz signal but not actually display it? As far as I am aware HDMI 2.1 tv‘s are all native 120hz displays.
