    How to enable variable refresh rate?

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

    Please go to Settings > General > TV & Display options. Make sure the refresh rate is set to 120 Hz under the display section. After that, go to the right part under "Advanced." Click video modes then check the box at the right of "Allow variable refresh rate."

    How to enable variable refresh rate?

    May I also point out that to enable VRR (Variable Refresh rate), you also need VRR capable TV or monitor.

    VRR works on both 60Hz and 120Hz.

    Xbox currently does not support monitors in the range of 61-119Hz. Will the Series S/X support this? Can The One X be Software Updated?

    you cant change refresh rate when vrr is enabled as the console is using variable refresh rate, if you get me, so you set at 60, you enable vrr then it ignores the 60 as you cannot change that or access that setting when vrr is enabled.

    Series S Flickering 120FPS

    Variable Refresh Rate was enabled however disabling it causes the flickering to stop. I notice other people reporting the same issues.

    I purchased an upgraded HDMI 2.1 cable capable of 8k and 4k 120fps it did not solve the issue. Disabling variable refresh rate solves the issue.

    So this has to be some kind of software compatibility problem. For now I just disabled Variable Refresh Rate on the console and disabled Adaptive/Free Sync on the monitor until hopefully Xbox does an update in the future.
