Yeah that means it doesn't require step up/down transformer. It accepts both 110/220v, so can use anywhere in the world. We follow UK anyhow, so that's why we get the UK type 3-pin 13amps plug.

Right now can only sit down and wait seller to send out, lol ..

Hi guys, I heard if you play the Xbox series S on a 1440p monitor it will be upscaled from 1080p to 1440p.

Is there a major difference to our eyes between the 1080 upscale to 1440p (S) vs 4k downscale to 1440p (X)?

Things to take into consideration:
I only play on my 1440p monitor, no way I'll upgrade to a 4K tv as the 1440p monitor is my PC's monitor too.

Thanks!

I dont think is upscale, is native 1440p if not mistaken. 1080p and 1440p wat diff ah. It depends on what size monitor u use. If u play like on desktop like tat near definitely got diff. If u say is tv distance, no diff la.

27 inch 1440p monitor. Oh it's native 1440p? Asked the same question on Reddit yesterday but got removed dunno why. Before it was deleted it got 2 replies which the people relied saying it will be upscaled to 1440p from 1080p.
If you were me, would you get the X or S for 1440 gaming?

it should be native 1440p, i remember reading it somewhere comparing it to the PS5 that doesnt support 1440p.

if i were u, i get s, because i dont need that much power. lagi series s is so much smaller and compact. i will go for series x because im using 4k tv.

Awesome. I work in Singapore. yesterday I came across series S on Amazon Singapore still got stock that will be shipped on 10 Nov. Just now I check, gone. LOL

i think qiashn still have for december one. i asked them for series x they say no longer accept preorder, if wan have to wait on 14th december see if they got any leftover stock or not lol.

No delay from impulse unlike gh? Or both the same 🤔

Xbox Series S is definitely a 1440p machine. PS5 is the one that can't do 1440p resolution. It's either 1080p or 4k only. Nothing in between.

There is definitely a difference between 1080p upscaled to 1440p, vs 4k downscaled to 1440p. An example of this would be the current Xbox One S (not OG Xbox One). The Xbox One S does output to 4k, but the image definitely looks softer when displayed on a 4k TV, since the actual resolution is just 720p, 900p or 1080p maximum. It's just upscaled to 4k. On the opposite end, you know how PC games can make use of DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) to render render at a higher resolution than your monitor resolution? For example, in Shadow of Mordor you can set your internal resolution to 3840 x 2160, and output it to 1920 x 1080. Even though the monitor is outputting 1920 x 1080, you will see that the image is sharper, as there is more pixel density in the scene.

You’re also in Sg? I found a retailer that still has unit for series S, arriving tomorrow!

Awesome. So series S is a native 1440p correct? I’m totally new to the console world, taking into consideration that I’ll only play on my 1440p monitor, the series S will suffice right?

Nope, but only qisahn can ship to malaysia from singapore, too bad i didnt click preorder that day great, how about series x?

Series X no more. Series S last two unit. 🙂

Yup native 1440p for sure. Supposedly even BC titles can be running up to 1440p in enhanced mode. You know how games that are Xbox One X Enhanced can run up to 4k? It's something like that, but up to 1440p instead.

For me personally I would still buy a Series X, mainly because I still like using discs, but also because both my monitor and TV is 4k. Even if I was going to be playing at 1440p, I would still probably get the Series X. BUT I can also understand if you only play digital games, and you will be playing on a 1440p monitor, then the Series S is the perfect system for you. I would say a Gamepass subscription is an absolute must to fully take advantage of the Series S.

I'm going for Series S and my TV NU8000 checked with rtings mentioned can 1440p 120hz

I’d recommend a Series X even for 1440p unless physical space is a big issue.
Main reason being
- the extra 500GB of ssd
- Ray tracing performance of series s probably can’t hit 1440p 30fps.
- back compatible games enhanced performance.

If you’re getting a series S, you will run out of space very quickly.
Which means you’ll either
1. Get the seagate expansion drive (which will raise the price close to the series X)
2. Get a large HDD and run games from there (At this point, might as well get an older one X).

But series S has something better than One X which is kinda trade off also:

1) Quick Resume
2) Faster loading time
3) Small form body

It all depends on which type of user XD
Other than the space issue, we can actually still plug in bigger size External HDD/SSD and run like Xbox One load speed i guess?

What it really miss is the UHD drive
That's the huge take down if u wanna watch UHD Blu-ray
