My Xbox series S won't run at 1440p 120fps even if my monitor says it can.

the monitor may support 144hz but as the xbox needs 120hz exact then most likely the monitors EDID (built in res list) does not include 120hz precisely.

PC's can be set to any res and the monitor will accept this if within range, consoles work via edid and vesa compliance meaning if the monitor does not include 120hz for that res in its list it won't work.

Hi guys,

The title says it all

I have a Koorui 27'' incurved Gaming monitor that does 1440p and 144hz 1ms AMD Freesync, DCI-P3 85% hdmi 2.0

Any help is appriciated and thank you in advance.

Hello, This is Elijah.

The Xbox Series S will not support games at 4K at 144fps, the Series S will also not run 1440p at 144fps as well. The Xbox Series S will only run 1440p at 120fps. I would also suggest using a different HDMI cable than what came with the Series S. The Xbox Series X will run 1440p at 144fps, also 4k. But limiting 8k to 60FPS.

Thank you for choosing Xbox as your gaming Platform.

I have an Asus gaming monitor and had a similar issue; i turned of freesync and it seems to have fixed the issue using all the components that came with series s. When playing MW2 a window pops up showing refresh rate at 120hz, when playing NBA 2k drops down to 60hz as 2k doesn’t support 120hz. In the main tv/video settings it is set to 1440p and 120hz.

Hope this helps

If you're not able to set this frequency with that resolution that means your screen doesn't have the hardware
You need to pick a lower resolution in this case in order to use 120Hz

No it runs at 60fps

Series s doesn't run at 120fps

You are thinking of 1440p at 144hz Vvr with Ray tracing off

Only ps5 (same hardware on digital or disk)

And Xbox series x
