Display problems with VRR variable refresh rate always on and freesync on my monitor at the...

Silentdurr · Aug 19, 2023

I have g story 15.6 inch Integrated Monitor for xbox series s 2k display that runs 4k @ 60hz and 1440p @144hz and 1080p @144hz (that is up to *hz) of course series s and x cap at 120hz but my display has auto hdr, also sRGB and freesync. Whenever i run VRR on the console at the same time as having the setting on the display that is FREESYNC on, when I load into a game(not happening st the dashboard or other apps....cod mw2 to be specific does it) starts stuttering chopping blurs and goes crazy and the only way to make it stop is to turn it off on either the xbox end or the displays end om the OSD menu.....why is this? If I turn it iffy in both u can tell its off but when it's off on xbox but on with the monitor it seems to run smooth but hard to tell....itdoesnt go berserk and it doesn't look raggedy like it does without anything on but with it off on display and on with the xbox only, it works and looks decent but I feel like something is incompatible somewhere maybe. Idk. Also, the game Modern warfare 2 can use hdr but whenever I have the setting turned on or auto on display i can check the allow hdr and auto hdr box in display settings menu, but when u load the game, go to options, graphics menu, scroll all the way down past 120hz- on/off menu there isn't any hdr brightenss or adjustment menu tab and I don't knownif it is using the hdr technology.....in the xbox menu of display settings if allow hdr10 amd auto hdr is turned off it says under 4k compatibility that tv supports but is turned off. But once u turn auto hdr and allow hdr10 ON on the xbox side, go back to 4k compatibility amd it says your TV DOES NOT SUPPORT HDR, HDR-10....WHY IS THIS? WHEN I USE MY MSI MAGCR27 MONITOR, I TURN FREESYNC ON AND VRR ON THE XBOX SIDE AT AAME TIME AND IF I TURN IT OFF ON EITHER IT DISABLES IT FOR EVERYTHING. BUT WHY AM I ABL3 TO RUN FREESYNC ON MY portable monitor and have it turned off on xbox side? Is my portable monitor overriding the xbox somehow when it is trying to decode the visuals that is connected to the console? Super sketchy and I'd like some feed back.....thanks.

The monitor has variable refresh rate (freesync), which works with 1440p (on PC) with range 46 - 148 hz ... So is it still possible that the standard is the problem? I would think if monitor has VRR that it can display any refresh rate , especially if I enable it in settings.

Yes you should, and make sure VRR is enabled in the Xbox display settings.

Freesync Premium is a VRR technology (variable refresh rate). In a nutshell, your displays refresh rate is synced to the frame rate of the game you are playing. This means smoother gameplay and no unsightly screen tearing.

Hi,

What ngocphi has said is somewhat true but not entirely. I'm sure they mean well but I little more explanation is required.

The Asus VG32VQ can do 120Hz at 1440P, however, the VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) FreeSync on this display tops out at 85Hz over HDMI. So for Xbox, 1440P 120Hz and VRR is a no go. You should be able to get to 120Hz with VRR at 1080P though.

The inability to do 1440P @ 120Hz is a limitation of your display's hardware, nothing to do with the older HDMI 2.0 port.

Most of these monitors rated refresh is based on their Display Port hardware.

Yea my monitor info says it’s displaying 1080p 135khz/120hz in the display information in settings and it looks and feels awesome I was just curious since I have freesync premium turned on in the monitor settings itself if it still is refreshing the rates even though the Xbox specific setting isn’t on cause the DisplayPort to the monitor itself offers up to 1080p 240hz variable refresh rate through the freesync option in the specs of the monitor

Hi

Absolutely! But the display should be able to do 120Hz, but only at 1080P as this is a limitation of FreeSync with HDMI for this display.

Make sure you enable VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) in the Xbox display settings as this will remove stuttering and screen tearing.

Just on a technical note, 1440P monitors are not 2K displays. A 2K display is 1080P, 1440P monitors are 2.5K
