Does Xbox Series S Freesync technology work with G-sync monitors? Are there any conflicts?

Its the monitor, Nvidia G-Sync monitor's don't play well with Games consoles, pretty much all Nvidia G-Sync monitor's will not go beyond 60hz refresh rate when connected to consoles, it doesn't matter if it's a 120hz / 144hz / 160hz / 240hz / 360hz, you'll be stuck at 60hz

Freesync or Adaptive Sync monitor's are best for consoles to get 120hz,

if your only using a monitor for just console gaming only - Freesync monitor's,

if like me and gaming using PC and console on the same monitor - Adaptive Sync monitor's, ( Freesync and G-sync )

if your only using a monitor for just PC gaming only - Nvidia G-sync monitor's for Nvidia GPU's / Freesync monitor's for AMD GPU's.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

No, it's an Nvidia technology and the Xbox uses AMD hardware. But you might be able to use VRR with this monitor.

That a G-sync monitor and G-sync monitors don't play well with consoles and you'll only be limited to 60Hz, also a 240Hz monitor for consoles is so not worth it as in their a waste of money, as the consoles are not capable of getting anywhere near 240fps in games,

Freesync or Adaptive sync monitors are whats needed, avoid G-sync only monitors for consoles.

Hi,

This isn't the right type of monitor for your requirements. There a number of issues here:

Your monitor is only HDMI 1.4

This means that regardless of what cable you use, your monitor's maximum refresh is 60Hz. This is hardware locked and a limitation of your monitor's hardware.

Display Port is the recommended connection for this monitor.

Your monitor has a Display Port version 1.2. This port is the only port the can use your display's full range of features of up to 165Hz Unfortunately, DP is not supported by Xbox One or the new up-coming Series X/S

Variable Refresh is greyed out

Variable refresh (or VRR) is a technology that can only be used on displays that support FreeSync. Unfortunately this monitor does not support FreeSync. It does have a form of VRR, unfortunately it's an NVIDIA technology called G-Sync. Unfortunately, G-Sync
is not supported by Xbox consoles. G-Sync can only be used on PCs with a compatible graphics card.
