Forget 4K — Xbox One X also delivers impressive upgrades on 1080p displays

The Xbox One X might be marketed as for gamers equipped for 4K, but its 1080p enhancements are also noteworthy.

Microsoft's latest video games console, the Xbox One X, is finally available, promising a premium gaming experience with a price tag to match. With 4K, HDR, and other visual enhancements being marketed alongside the device, the console has emerged as the most powerful on the market, surpassing its closest competitors in graphical fidelity.

Although the Xbox One X is best experienced with a 4K HDR display, the device also promises to benefit gamers with 1080p panels. With more consistent frame rates, reworked textures, and improved lighting effects all being common features of "Xbox One X Enhanced" games, many of these can also be experienced without a bump in resolution. Furthermore, 4K games can be displayed on lower resolution displays via a technique known as "supersampling."
