    My monitor will only display at 1440p 120hz when FreeSync is off


    I recently got a new monitor that does 144hz at 1440p over dis display port and should be able to do 120hz at 1440p over HDMI 2.0 but every time I tried to select 120hz it would force me to go back down to 1080p. The only way I was able to get 120hz at 1440p to work was to turn off FreeSync Premium in the monitor's settings.

    Why is FreeSync limiting my monitor to 1080p at 120hz?

    :)

    Xbox one s 1440p 120hz problems

    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.
    I have tried turning freesync off on the monitor side and vrr off on the xbox, still doesn’t allow me to select 1440p@ 120hz.

    XBox One X 1440p resolution at 120hz support For Monitors

    I didnt read through all the responses but i thought this same thing when i purchased an 27” Asus monitor to play xbox in 1440p@120hz but it didnt work. After reader deaper into the monitor is seems the monitor only suports higher then 60hz when using
    a display port cable, not hdmi. I took the monitor back, it wasn’t the xbox. It works fine with my samsung Q8, 1440p@120hz with freesync/VRR and 55”.

    That’s frustrating, only thing i can now think to suggest is that to ensure your xbox is fully up to date and after turning off freesync on the monitor. Fully restart the console and try again. Maybe only the XBox One X supports 1440p @ 120Hz?

    Unable to 120Hz at 1440p Even Though Monitor Supports 144Hz at 1440p

    You're a little discombobulated there.

    I can display 1440p ONLY at 144Hz, and cannot at 120Hz on Xbox. I can only display 1440p at 60Hz on Xbox one X.

    Yes I can display 1440p at 60Hz with Freesync - Although 120Hz without Freesync would still technically be better but unfortunately that is not possible with the restrictions on Xbox one X.

    I use 1440p @ 60Hz settings with Freesync and HDR with 32 bit color. I get a pretty damn good picture but I'm just a little upset I can't use the 120Hz feature.
