    Series S - when HDMI-CEC is on, freesync turns unavailable


    Hi

    I recently purchased a Acer Vg240y monitor and a Series S. Both are working fine.

    But when I turn HDMI cec on in Series S, the variable refresh rate option turns unavailable.

    Is this normal or there is a way to solve it?

    :)

    Variable Refresh Rate greyed out with a AMD compatible Monitor (HP 27xq AMD FreeSync monitor)

    It supports FreeSync Premium in both hdmi and display port. Someone in this chat mentioned that the One S only supports FreeSync 2. If that's the case then will the Series X support all versions of FreeSync? I just want to make sure my monitor will be
    supported properly when the Series X comes out.

    Xbox one won't turn on my insiginia tv when I turn the console on

    Hi TexasMaster9351! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    HDMI-CEC is supported only on Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. You must also enable HDMI-CEC on your TV.

    Xbox Series X|S consoles can use an HDMI feature called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to send commands to and from CEC-enabled devices (such as TVs and AVRs) that are connected to the console.

    This feature can be turned on and off via the TV & A/V power options settings screen. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Sleep mode & startup > TV & A/V power options.

    Why doesn't Xbox consoles(360 and newer) have HDMI CEC?

    I believe the Xbox one/360 line should be updated to support CEC
    Not happening. IR only.

    Minor workaround: plug a device with CEC into your Xbox's HDMI input. When you turn it on, your CEC supported display(s) should change inputs.

    FreeSync Help

    I don't know that specific monitor, but some monitors only support Freesync via Display Port. So if you connect your console via HDMI, Freesync might be unavailable, if the monitor doesn't support Freesync via HDMI.

    For more information you should contact AOC or check the user manual for that monitor.
