Red Pixels on Xbox 1 S when switching to a 120 refresh rate

change hdmi cable, i have had that before and had red speckles all over, changed the hdmi cable and they went away.

I use a pixio px247 monitor.

144hz is all good but really only runs over display port, 120 is over hdmi unless said hsmi is the new standard of 2.1.

the series s will only support 120 1440 and even then some of the games won't run at that high of a framerate.

if your monitor does have freesync, then enable this as it should run upto your monitors max refresh rate, as when VRR is enabled you cannot alter the refresh rate settings.

Hi

I managed to address this.

Steps

1. On monitor settings turn of AMD free sync

2. Change the refresh rate from 144 to 120

3. On x box display settings unchek enable 4K

4. Change resolution to 1440p

5. Change refresh rate to 120Hz

Played Doom at 120 and it was awesome 😎.

Hi,

High refresh rates on Xbox Series X/S and even on Xbox One S/X provide two functions.

On Series X/S where a game supports a 120 fps mode, a high 120Hz connection facilitates that frame rate. If your display can't do 120Hz, you can't play a 120 FPS supported game. But, there is a possibility that a game may not be able to hit its intended
frame rate all the time and may drop frames. This is where VRR (variable refresh rate) via FreeSync and 120Hz come in by smoothing out the dropped frames and eliminating screen tearing.

But you don't need to change refresh rate to play a game that is locked to 60 fps. You can still keep your refresh and it won't affect your gaming experience. As I stated earlier, you can only get a 120 FPS on games that support that frame rate. The high
refresh will just make the experience smoother. It's up to developers on how their games perform on the console just like the options available in Dirt 5.

While the Series X can do 4K 120Hz with newer HDMI 2.1 displays you won't see many AAA titles doing this as it's way too demanding for the system.
