lg 32gk650f-B with xbox series x

LG 32GK650F-B - With manual settings on Xbox will only allow 120hz at 1080p or 60hz at 1440p.

hi,

I currently have a lg ultragear 32gk650f

I currently have an xbox one sLink to the monitor

I see, that's a real shame.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Hi,

This is a very frequently asked question at the moment on these forums. Basically the display timings accepted by Xbox Series X are different to the timings (the frequency measured in Hz) that a PC graphics card will accept.

This is because most monitors don't use the standard timings put down by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association), they have their own none-standard timings. An example of a none standard timing could be 119.88Hz instead of something closer to 120Hz
of 119.98Hz. Such timings cause no problems for PCs as their graphics cards are not locked to the VESA standard. This why 120Hz works on your PC, but not on your console.

I really hope that makes sense.

Bear in mind also that the LG 32GK650F-B, like many of LG's gaming monitors, has a 100Hz limit to FreeSync over HDMI. So, even if you could get 1440P @120Hz you can't use FreeSync. FreeSync is a Variable Refresh Rate technology that syncs the display refresh
with the games fps output. Without VRR you'll get screen tearing whenever the frame rate drops below 120 fps on games that support that frame rate.

There are no official responses to this issue from Microsoft despite the potential for a technically easy fix. So for the moment at least, you'll either have to drop to 1080P for 120Hz (and turn on VRR) or stick with 60Hz and VRR.

There are still benefits to using a monitor over a TV. Most TVs are still HDMI 2.0 and don't have VRR and users on these displays will get screen tearing, you won't have this issue.

For all monitors or just this one?. I'm seeing sites saying 1080 and 1440 support for 120hz but 4k is 60hz.
