Does a 144hz monitor still work on the Xbox Series X will it detect?

Casper XDG · Feb 24, 2023

Hey, so I bought a monitor that has 144hz and I currently own the Xbox Series X I was just wondering, if the monitor will still be detected on the console itself cause I am seeing that Xbox only supports the monitor if it only has 120HZ but if I got a 144HZ will that be an issue or will it still work?

:)

Hi, Casper. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

The 144 Hz monitor should work fine with an Xbox Series X console. Make sure you set the refresh rate properly in the Xbox Series X settings.

According to ASUS, the VG249Q should be compatible with the series X on 1080p, 120hz.

Thanks for sharing this. In this case, assuming your monitor only has one HDMI port, I would suggest you to reset your Xbox display settings:

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds to turn off the console. Unplug all cables from it, wait for 5 minutes and plug again.

Then, press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480). To change this setting, press the Xbox button to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution you want from the Display dropdown.

See how it goes and please let me know.
