The Xbox One X will support 1440p displays
1440p is a popular resolution for high-end gaming monitors, particularly among players who like to prioritize framerate. While it’s unlikely that many developers will specifically target 1440p displays on the Xbox One X, the addition of system-wide 1440p output at least means that you’ll be able to make the most of the native resolution. The One X could theoretically also support variable framerate on FreeSync monitors, although nothing has been announced to that effect.
This is in contrast to Sony’s approach with the PlayStation 4 Pro, even though many games with PS4 Pro support are rendered at 1440p for the purposes of upscaling to 4K TVs. The PS4 Pro only supports 1080p or 4K output, and the latter only works with 4K screens. This means that if you play a 4K or 1440p game on a Pro hooked up to a 1440p monitor, it’ll just output 1080p and upscale, which doesn’t look great.
The number of people putting Xboxes on desks and plugging them into PC monitors probably isn’t high, but this is a thoughtful move from Microsoft that makes sense for the Xbox One X’s niche. While the One X is still very much positioned around 4K, and lower-resolution displays won’t often use the console’s power in the most efficient way, Microsoft is ensuring that they’ll still see some benefit with 1440p support alongside system-wide supersampling to 1080p.

Decy This was kinda expected tbh... as it supports 1080p panels so i honestly don't see why it shouldn't support 1440p.
1080p is pretty much standard as of now, where as before 720p was, 1440p Monitors are still not common yet as people still and developers still use 1080p as a baseline, if you played games on pc at 1080p 60fps but then changed to a 1440p Monitor you would see a drop it frames, so this is great news to people who have invested in a 1440p monitor
