Display options

I tried the first section and all it displays is the Exe and Unpin from Taskbar, I then tried the second option and it still only displays the Exe and Unpin from taskbar option.

Hello, the monitor I use is the asus vg248qe and the system is an Xbox series s.

From the support page:

• Your display must support 120Hz over HDMI. While some monitors support 120Hz over DisplayPort, they may not support it over HDMI.
• 120Hz is only available for 1080p and 1440p. If you change your resolution to 4K UHD or 720p, the refresh rate will be set to 60Hz by default.
• If your console is set for 4K UHD and you change your refresh rate to 120Hz, your resolution will be downgraded to the highest resolution available for your display.

Hello, the monitor I use is the asus vg248qe and the system is an Xbox series s.

It's an HDMI 1.4 display from 2013. Generally, HDMI 1.4 is limited to a maximum refresh of 60Hz (see below circled in red). The high refresh rates for this monitor (circled in blue) relate to the Display port only.

That monitor is quite old. High refresh rates over HDMI were not a thing back then as anyone buying this display would have been purchasing it for PC gaming. This is why you can't use 120Hz on your series S. The settings on the monitor will not help I'm afraid.

Hi,

Sorry but the Acer XF240H only supports FreeSync over display Display port,
not HDMI. This information was obtained from the online manual for that monitor.

While it's possible to buy HDMI to Display port adaptors, these devices
will not give you FreeSync support to your display either. Sorry.

Quite a few users are falling foul to this issue, they just buy a FreeSync monitor without checking on its capabilities and simply assume FreeSync will work with HDMI on every display, it unfortunately does not.

As M3tal Daz3 has already stated. To get this to work, your display must support 120Hz over HDMI.
