  1. 1440p Gaming vs 4K Switching Display Issue


    Not sure if this is just the system it self

    I play in 1440p at 120fps due to the games 1 play (cod, r6, rl, fn)

    While also playing with the option of 4k disabled alone with vrr. disabled

    The option of enabling 4k so that allows YouTube, Netflix and Disney+ to be shown in 4k isn't possible with the fact that there's a good 5<_10 seconds of a black screen that at moments are crucial for the game weather that's caused from clipping a moment or past moment, playing or changing a song or going back to dashboard for whatever reason which then raises the time a black screen is show to at least 10+ seconds to get back to the game from the moment you go to dashboard

    Unsure weather this can be fixed via software or not or just need a speed increase in the animation of opening and close the

    dashboard and Xbox tab

    Awful framerate in 1440p mode in Red Dead Redemption 2 and other 30 fps games. Works fine in 4k Xbox One X

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the fast reply.

    Here are my displays:

    - 2x OLED55C8PLA - works great in 4k, works great in 1080p, 1440p mode stutters in RDR2

    - Acer Predator XB271HUBMIPRZ (1440p display) - 1440p mode stutters in RDR2, 1080p mode super smooth. I also use my PC on this display and sometimes PS4 and they work fine. This is my main gaming display.

    - LG 27mb85r-b (1440p display) - 1440p mode stutters in RDR2, 1080p mode is super smooth.

    - 6 years old Sony TV (forgot the model, 1080p display) - works great in 1080p

    I don't have many 4k games to test right now but I do remember Assassins Creed Oddysey had a very similar problem while For Honor runs fine (at least as far as I remember, this one doesn't have native 4k tho I believe). Red Dead Redemption is the worst case,
    to be honest. It's instantly noticeable and never goes away. I still don't understand why it's so bad in 1440p mode while in the more demanding 4k mode it's perfect. A representative of Rockstar Support told me that Red Dead Redemption is rendered always
    in 4k and scaling the game to other resolutions is on MS side. Hopefully, you can help me sort it out.

    Displaying 1440p on Xbox one X

    Hi,

    The question I have is why are you trying to use 1440P on a 4K TV with Xbox?

    If you were using such a resolution on a PC for gaming I could understand, but with your TV 1440P won't make any difference.

    • If you own an Xbox One X, enhanced 4K games will still run in 4K even in 1440P. You won't see any performance increase.
    • Running at a none native resolution will make the display image softer. Best to run your TV in its native resolution.

    Xbox One X won't output 1440p at 120hz

    I would look into your monitor and call DELL not Microsoft. I also have a One X and have never had any problems, as soon as select 120hz it automatically drops me down from 4K to 1440p. You must be misunderstanding something about your monitor as there
    must be a defect of some sort or your monitor does not support 1440p at 120hz.

    For reference, before responding I booted on both my One X's. One is connected to a Samsung 4K QLED and I had no problem switching from 4k 60 to 1440p 120. My other X is connected via an LG 4K monitor and again when selecting 1440p OR 120hz it automatically
    selects 1440p or 120hz without any issues.

    Xbox One X will not run 1440p at 120hz

    Ty for the reply. However, 1440p is a setting that will display on both television and monitors. Assuming the television and/or monitor is capable if displaying it.

    I can run 1440p on my telesivion woth the xbox but only at 60hz.

    The isue i am having is running 1440p at 120hz.

    im currently running 4k at 60hz which is the highest the xbox one x will go because it does not have a 2.1 hdmi port.

    However, I want to be able to run 120hz at 1440p. My television is more then capable at displaying it, but the xbox isnt sending it.
