New Monitor, but can I still stream with Elgato HD 60s+?
Guys, I am changing my setup from a living room big TV setup to a office, desk and monitor setup.
I have been streaming and recording on XBOX Series X with Elgato HD 60 S+ and a Samsung 65" @ 3840/2160 60p HDMI UHD. Now of course I didn't think about any of this until right before my new monitor is going to be delivered. But I am wondering am I going to still be able to stream/record at least at 1080p 60 with my new ViewSonic VX2728J-2K? I realize that this is not a top of the line 2.1 HDMI monitor and I can not play at 1440p 120 but I think I can still play at 1080p 120.
There in lies my problem, can I still stream/record with my HD 60 S+ by setting the resolution on the monitor at 1080p 60? I have seen conflicting information but some videos say a HD 60 S+ does pass through 120hz at 1080p but still captures at 1080p 60 unofficially, and others say not supported at all. Also those videos are all at least a couple years old. I mean I was excited to try 120 even at 1080p. But I am on 60 right now anyway so worst case scenario, HOPEFULLY I can still use 1080p 60 to stream until I can get a newer HD60 X or 4k X.
Man I was so excited about getting my new monitor and moving into the office and be a little more serious about streaming content creation. But now that I have realized all this I am kind of bummed about it. Just hoping I can still at least do it at 1080p 60.
Sheesh.

Officially, the HD60 S+ does not support 120Hz at any resolution, so you'd be limited to playing at 1440p60
well I am already playing at 60 on my big TV so I guess it won't be too bad. I can always try out 120 when I am not streaming. Or eventually get an elgato that supports it.
