series x not supporting 1440p/144hz monitor

tuchman · Nov 12, 2020

Hello, my monitor is the Dell S2721DGF. It runs natively at 1440p/144hz. I understand that the HDMI 2.0
slot on this monitor supports 1440p/144hz, but my xbox only allows 1080p/120hz. I would like to be able to run 1440p/120hz.

Thanks.

Until you don't proof me this specific monitor (Xiaomi Mi Curved 34) enables 1440p@120hz with Xbox Series X, your comment is meaningless.

Yeah, there are some monitors with 1440p@120hz support for Xbox series s/x, that simply doesn't mean that ANY 1440p+ monitor with 120hz+ (especially 144hz+) can do it. Period.

I've tried everything, that (1440p@120hz) simply doesn't work with that monitor. I've already listed every step I've tried, I'm not gonna write it again.

Please read previous comments before posting the same dried comments...

According to the website specs on the monitor, it can run up to 1440p at 144hz using the hdmi cord it provided, which is the one I’m trying to use with my Xbox series x

Many people are having settings issue like this. A couple of things you could try:

Turning off freesync/g-sync

Updating the monitor firmware (usually by using a data stick on a computer to download the firmware and then putting the usb in the monitor)

Go to Fidelity and overscan in the video settings. Instead of auto detect, switch to hdmi. It will look blurry after changing, then go to your display settings and you should be able to select 1440p and 120hz.

Given that your monitor only has HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort, and also given that the Xbox Series X only has an HDMI output, your monitor wouldn't support 1440p at 144Hz. HDMI 1.4 only supports up to 1080p/120Hz or 4K/24Hz.
