    How do I get 1440p at 120Hz with my monitor?


    I'm wondering if anyone has had success with this specific monitor. I have a Sceptre E275B-QPD168 monitor I got off Amazon. The description says it supports 1440p up to 144Hz with HDMI 2.0. My Xbox Series X isn't giving me that resolution at that frame rate. In order to recognize 120Hz, I had to enable manual settings for HDMI. But now I only get 120Hz at 1080p. If I go to 1440p,it drops me to 60Hz. I don't think it's a monitor issue, because I've seen a video on YouTube where a guy reviewed it, it's where I learned how to get 120Hz. He tested it with PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. The Xbox was the only one to not recognize 1440p 120Hz, which makes it look inferior. I read somewhere that I could try and active HDMI to DisplayPort cable, but I just got that and it was the same issue. Is there a different adapter I can try? Or some sort of firmware change that I need to hope Xbox can/will make to allow the monitor to work at it's full potential? I'm sure this isn't the only monitor to have this issue.

    will hdmi 1.4 work with the xbox series s and do 1440p 120hz?

    So will I be able to get the monitor, plug it into my xbox series s and do 1440p 120hz with vrr?

    120hz

    for 120hz you need i think hdmi2.1.

    besides connecting the s at 120hz is not going to magically let it run at 120fps, you will be lucky to get 40fps on most games. kills my eyes running so slow.
    HDMI 2.1 is only needed if you plan to game at 4K for 120hz , on a 4K 144hz monitor, However there's no gaming monitors available at the moment, that yet has HDMI 2.1, the first HDMI 2.1 monitors that are likely to come in are around the same time as the
    Series X (Q4) launch or early 2021 (Q1),

    1080p and some 1440p monitors can do 120hz over HDMI 1.4 if it's supported, but best ideally is HDMI 2.0 for 1440p for 120hz,

    HDMI 2.0 can do 1080p / 1440p at 120hz and 4K at 60hz,

    HDMI 2.1 can do 1080p / 1440p / 4K at 120hz.

    For the Xbox Series X, it best to get a 4K TV or monitor that supports 120hz and has HDMI 2.1, to get the full potential out of the Series X.

    Xbox Series X. 144Htz at 1440p

    Many thanks for your response but I'm afraid you are mistaken. HDMI 2.0 has always supported 1440p at 120hz. Even the article you sent says this.

    "The HDMI 2.0 connector was previously featured on Xbox One X and Xbox One S, with bandwidth limitations locking content to 4K resolution at 60Hz, or 1440p at 120Hz"

    So my question remains How do I get 1440p at 120Hz on the xbox series X with the huawei mateview gt34 monitor that is capable of supporing this?

    1440p@ 120 hz issue xbox series x

    And how come I read some people DO reach 120hz on 1440p even if its on other monitors 🤔

    Xbox Series X doesn't support 1440p@120Hz with 1440p@144Hz monitor

    Until you don't proof me this specific monitor (Xiaomi Mi Curved 34) enables 1440p@120hz with Xbox Series X, your comment is meaningless.

    Yeah, there are some monitors with 1440p@120hz support for Xbox series s/x, that simply doesn't mean that ANY 1440p+ monitor with 120hz+ (especially 144hz+) can do it. Period.

    I've tried everything, that (1440p@120hz) simply doesn't work with that monitor. I've already listed every step I've tried, I'm not gonna write it again.
