    Does Xbox automatically switch resolution and refresh rate?


    I have a question regarding resolution and refresh rate. I have an HDMI 2.0 TV and my Series X is set to 1440p 120Hz with “Allow 4K” turned on. Will the Xbox automatically switch between 2160p 60Hz and 1440p 120Hz based on the game that I am playing and settings I choose?

    :)

    Exactly. Just make sure your TV really supports 120hz.

    Hi,

    Could you provide us with the make a model of your TV?

    If your TV is only HDMI 2.0 then it won't actually natively support 120Hz. Only certain supported HDMI 2.0 monitors can run 120Hz, but are generally limited to 1440P resolution.

    It's more likely your TV has a 120Hz mode purely for Motion interpolation. This can make lower frame rate video from TV and movies appear smoother. However, with games Motion interpolation will add a huge amount of display lag. Real 120Hz TV's are newer HDMI 2.1 displays.

    Xbox games are always rendered at the resolution they were designed to run at. So a 4K game On a 1440P display will can run internally at 4K and is then automatically scaled to whatever resolution the display is set to.

    Hello, SacredChaosKing. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

    I believe your console will run at 1440p 120hz if the game and the TV supports it. If the game or the TV does not support it, the game will then try to be run at 4k 60hz. But it will always prefer 1440p 120hz since it is the display setting you chose on the console.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.
