Microsoft Announces Three 'Designed For Xbox' Gaming Monitors

Microsoft has today unveiled the first ever 'Designed for Xbox' gaming monitors from Philips, ASUS, and Acer, all of which are set to release later this year, with more Xbox licensed monitors to arrive in the future.

These are targeted at the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and the branding means "you can be confident your new display can support the full speed, performance, and technology of Xbox Series X|S."

Without further ado, here they are:

The Philips Momentum supports 4K resolution at 120Hz powered by AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology to reduce screen tearing. It also introduces a new, dedicated Xbox picture mode. Players can enjoy high-contrast HDR with the VESA Certified DisplayHDR 1000, offering local-dimming and peak luminance more than 3x that of mid-grade displays on the market.
