1440p at 120hz! Is absolutely BOLOGNA! Why even say that it works Microsoft?!?!

LeePrice3 · Apr 17, 2020

I have a ViewSonic VX3258-2KC-MHD. In user guide #5 clearly states that 1440p @ 120hz is supported!!!!!

I have tried override to manual hdmi in the advanced options. As well as auto detect. I've tried with free sync on and off. While also checking allow variable refresh rate both ways. I've messed with overscan. 4k is off. hdr is off. hdmi input is
2.0. My hdmi cord is also the one that came with the xbox one x. Also restarted with multiple configurations. On both Xbox and Monitor.

I have tried everything i can think of on my xbox one x. Just did the new update yesterday. i think it was 3.8gb. Still can not reach 1440p @ 120hz. please help!

You've mentioned that you've tried to adjust the settings on the monitor and it's not working, so it might be worth checking the settings on the Xbox itself to see if 120Hz is enabled.

You should be able to do this by going to the Settings app on your console, and then the "TV and Display" options, then go to "Video Modes", see if there's a box for 120Hz and if it's ticked, or tick the "allow variable refresh rate" if you're using Freesync.

To get 1440p 120 you have to do it manual, don't use automatic resolution.

thx for your fast reply. Ok I understand, but why is it working with 1080p and 120hz ? But not with 1440p and 120hz?

I have checked the manual, it says it supports 1440p 120hz over hdmi the only thing it supports over display port is 1440p 165hz. So I will ask again why won't it let me set it manually hdmi then choose 1440p 120hz, but the option is available with auto detect. The monitor also supports VRR and free sync over hdmi.

That monitor supports 120hz ONLY at 1080p, and 60hz at 1440p according to the companies website. That would be why you cant select 120hz at 1440p

"With our monitors, you can run 120Hz at 1080p resolution. Or you can rock a pixel-perfect 1440p resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate. Even knowing this, you’re now able to enjoy buttery smooth gameplay
on one of the most popular game consoles of all time — thanks to FreeSync support"
