I've got a 1440p monitor with freesync 2.0. I am unable to activate variable refresh rate ...

Hi , as what i stated above, i am unable to activste free sync on my xbox one x console. I am using a prism+ 1440p 100hz freesync 2 monitor.

A game specialist from Xbox then told me that i need to install the xbox insider programe and do the test free sync quest .however , after installong the insider programe, there was no test free sync quest option. Please help.

Hey Magan,

The Xbox Insider is still in beta. So, it means that there might be bugs on certain features. I suggest to wait until the official updates comes and try that freesync. The other part is that you might need to lower the Hz on your monitor since the maximum
Hz support for the console games is 60Hz.

The monitor has variable refresh rate (freesync), which works with 1440p (on PC) with range 46 - 148 hz ... So is it still possible that the standard is the problem? I would think if monitor has VRR that it can display any refresh rate , especially if I enable it in settings.

Hi,

What ngocphi has said is somewhat true but not entirely. I'm sure they mean well but I little more explanation is required.

The Asus VG32VQ can do 120Hz at 1440P, however, the VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) FreeSync on this display tops out at 85Hz over HDMI. So for Xbox, 1440P 120Hz and VRR is a no go. You should be able to get to 120Hz with VRR at 1080P though.

The inability to do 1440P @ 120Hz is a limitation of your display's hardware, nothing to do with the older HDMI 2.0 port.

Most of these monitors rated refresh is based on their Display Port hardware.

I'm still hoping Microsoft will have a fix soon for this problem with my AOC AGON AG322QC4 hooked up to an Xbox One X in the hdmi 2.0 port using a hdmi 2.0 cable.

The best I can set it to is 120hz @1080p or 60hz @1440p. With 60hz @1440p I can activate Variable Refresh Rate but I really want 120hz @1440p.

Well according to tom hardware 144hz is only suppotted with freesync your best option is to use the tv setup wizard

And then asking your monitor manufacturer for help it maybe that it is only supported in freesync and display port only for that hz and resolution please refer to your manufacturer for more info

Xbox is usually good with detection

I looked at the manual the previous users posted ya

It doesnt support 120 hz thru hdmi with 1440p

Hi,

This monitor only supports 100Hz over HDMI with FreeSync turned ON (higher via Display Port).

With FreeSync OFF this monitor does support 1440p @ 120Hz as per the Manual and LG support.

This makes means that with FreeSync ON you will be limited to 60Hz with xbox. Can you try turning off FreeSync via the Monitor and/or untick Variable Refresh Rate on the xbox. Hopefully this makes 120Hz available to you.
