Should I buy an Xbox One X or a PS4 Pro if I have a 720p TV?
The question if you should buy an Xbox One X or a PS4 Pro if you only have a 720p TV actually requires two answers. I’ll try to answer both.First: PS4 or Xbox One? This question will get a lot of different results, depending on who you ask. Almost everyone will have a preference and there’s no ultimate right or wrong here. However there might be a personal right or wrong. A lot of third party titles come out on both systems (there are exceptions to this rule though), so what you really should check out is the exclusive first party titles. If you love Halo or Forza, you should get an Xbox One. If you prefer titles like an Uncharted or can’t wait to get your hands on titles like Detroid, you should buy a PS4. Also keep in mind where your friends are playing if you are planning to play multiplayer games with them, as normally XBOX and PS4 players can’t play together.Second: Do you really need a Pro or One X? Probably not. Both consoles offer 4k gaming, which you won’t need on 720p. Granted, both consoles also often offer other graphical improvements like a better framerate on lower resultions, but you have to consider if these are worth the increased price tag when the basic editions of the console are available for a lot less. Again, this is a personal choice and if you eventually get a 4K-enabled TV you might be glad you went for the improved version.
Can you use the Xbox One S without a 4k TV?
Yes, though it is capable of outputting 4K video it's only really used for 4K Blu Ray movies (and some streaming services) the difference it makes in some games is the use of HDR (High Dynamic Range) and some limited performance improvements in select games due to the overclocked GPU (up from 853 MHz in the original model to 914 MHz in the S) The Xbox One S is perfectly capable of running on a 1080p set (really anything with an HDMI port) and if you've yet to invest in an Xbox One (and don't want to wait a year for the Scorpio, which is fully backwards compatible with all current and future Xbox One games) then the S is the way to go due to smaller form factor and the potential for more games to receive performance enhancements.
Do I need a 4k TV to play Xbox One S?
Nope. Really at this point, the Xbox One, Xbone S, and the PS4 original, have 4k more or less for movies and TV at this point, they don’t run most games in 4k, at least not natively.The Xbox one X and PS4 Pro, however, are better at it. Particularly that Xbox. If you just have the S, then you don’t need to worry about 4k. Chances are your current HDTV is a 1080i or 1080p TV and that’s good enough.
Do the gaming consoles like PS4 or Xbox require a special gaming monitor or will they work smoothly on any HD TV?
They will work with any TV as long as the TV has an HDMI port. Ps4 Slim can output a maximum of Full HD, Xbox One S can play 4k movies and upscale games to 4k. Ps4 Pro and Xbox One X will output a maximum resolution of 4k. Gaming monitors are good for reducing input lag, but they usually lack HDR, which is present on TVs.So, to conclude, you don't need special monitors to use Xbox One or Ps4. You only need a TV with HDMI port
How do i convince my parents to get me an Xbox One?
I had to convince my parents to get me my Xbox One too! Haha. First off, I just want to say that to me, it was so worth it stepping up my console game to this. One thing you can say to them is that almost all of the coolest enhanced game will be coming out on Xbox One. Sometimes, which will be most in the future, creators of the games won't be coming out with anything new for the Xbox 360, they might even stop making games completely for the 360 just like they did for the PS2 (Even though it's really old). And if you just can't let gaming go, you'll 'need' the Xbox One. Tell them what new things have been changed for the better on this new console, for example the up to date controller. BUT DO NOT STRESS YOUR PARENTS WITH IT!! If you ask and they say no, don't fuss over it. Be kind and try again in a few days. Pamper your parents while your at it! and the'll see how far you're willing to go to get it. Good Luck! :)
