An Xbox One S can run 4K UHD although most games run at 2K or QHD. This monitor is exponentially better if your son ever decides to venture into PC gaming as this is a 1ms QHD GSYNC and Freesync monitor but the Xbox does not use GSYNC. Also, you will need to buy speakers. In terms of TVs, to get the most out of the Xbox One S 4k capability, you should get a 4k or UHD tv at sizes larger than 32" or 40" up to 75". Getting a 1080p will defeat the purpose of a XB1S and getting an 8k is overkill. I own both a 4k and this monitor but I definitely use the monitor for my gaming PC as it really changes the experience with GSYNC. However, i would use my Xbox One X on my 4k tv since it doesnt have GSYNC but can run 4k.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on the resolution your Xbox One S goes to. If the Xbox One S have a 1440p option for resolution, then yes, but if not then get a cheaper monitor or a new tv.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.*Go with the cheaper 60 Hz, 1ms, 1080p monitor as the Xbox One S has a maximum resolution of 1080p native, and does not support gsync.* - Unless you plan to upgrade to another console or to buy a gaming PC there would be no way for you to utilize the G SYNC module for the variable refresh rate. That's the price premium with this monitor. - I believe the XBOX One X uses FreeSYNC which is another form of variable refresh rate, but that console also supports UHD or 4K native for video games. (Not the Xbox One S) - So for now, I'd say stick with the 1080p monitor unless you are either going to get a gaming computer with an nvidia graphics card or you just want something more future proof.
