Monitor options not working

Disclosure: I don't know anything for certain as, until 5 minutes ago, I wasn't even aware these were around. I am also not a lawyer.

My personal opinion (based on what I have read) is that it is not against the TOS. Firstly, I don't see huge companies like Dell and Asus knowingly selling products that could lead to their users getting banned from platforms.

Secondly, on the Microsoft Store, you can install Crosshair apps to use...if MS are allowing apps like that on their store, then I can't see it being a violation. As long as whatever is being used doesn't mod the game illegally etc.

Having said that, there could be some argument for saying it violates the following part of the Xbox Community Standards:

"Use specialised software to gain unfair advantage over other players"

Although, technically, you are not using software as such in the manner hinted at. There will likely be plenty of differing opinions on this....hopefully someone with more conrete knowledge on the matter will visit and offer their opinion

These crosshairs are built into the displays themselves. There is no way anyone would know you're using it. Most gaming monitors have them, as does mine.

Did you check to make sure the option were enabled on the monitor that allow VRR to work on the Xbox?

even though his screen is 165hz, does not mean it will work with Xbox series, the edid needs to have an entry that is dead on 120hz as an option to change too.

PC's can display on monitors with varying refresh rates as most monitors do not get precise refresh, they are usually like 143.889hz as an example of a 144hz monitor, the Xbox requires the edid to have an option for exact refresh of 120hz and anything under or above will not usually be available on the Xbox.

some 165hz monitors don't even have 120hz available in edid.

Or is that just an option for TVs to function more like a monitor? Just curious if I need a new monitor. God bless! Monitor specifically is a 2022 ASUS G sync26 inch gaming monitor
