  1. What monitors can I use to play Xbox x series at 120 hz?


    I recently got an xbox x series and wanted to try playing a game at 120hz but all the monitors i try dont support the 120hz over hdmi. I heard that the monitor needs to be an hdmi 2.1 but from what i can tell there is none currently available so im at a
    dead end where i can find one.

    :)

    Can my Xbox series s run a 1080p 165hz monitor?

    Hello, David R. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    Xbox Series X and S consoles support a maximum frequency of 120 Hz. Therefore, you will not able to set or see 60 or 120 Hz.

    Besides that, it is important to clarify that you need to check if the monitor you want to get supports 120 Hz via the HDMI port, most monitors support 120 Hz and above via Display Port only.

    You can check if your monitor supports 120 Hz via HDMI, if the timing is exactly 120 Hz and not (for example) 119.99 Hz and more by checking the manual or contacting the manufacturer.

    I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry.

    Kind regards,

    Arturo.

    Can this monitor run 120fps ?

    Virtually no games run 120 Hz on Xbox series S

    This like virtually all monitors is a hacked monitor so that they overclock it to falsely display it's a performance. This causes large amounts of timing issues with general consumer electronics devices like Xbox.

    Monitors are meant for use with PCs, Frequently their standard specs rely on assistance from the computer

    You're not getting true 120 Hz on something that costs $165.

    144hz monitor doesn't work with 120hz

    Hey SFL!

    The Xbox One X is capped at 120Hz at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, but can do 4k UHD at 60 Hz. Unfortunately the Xbox cannot go higher than 120 Hz at the moment.

    By any chance does your monitor have a setting to dial it down to 120 Hz?

    I would also look over this article for display settings explanations: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/adjust-display-settings.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Can xbox one s run fortnite 120fps

    I'm getting a 120 hz monitor and I'm wondering if I can run 120 hz on my xbox one s fortnite. It gives me the option in my settings on my xbox one s but my TV doesn't support 120 hz so I'm buying a monitor. I don't want to buy the

    Monitor if I can't run 120hz. And does fortnite have a fps cap where I can't run 120hz?

    Series S cuts to black when switching to 120hz

    actually a lot of monitors do support 120 and 144 via hdmi, mine does, but the edid (registery in the monitor) has to have dead on 120hz, most monitors sit a few 0. hz under or above, also the monitor has to list 120hz as an option in the edid for xbox to use it, pc's can set custom hz regardless of what the monitor edid states, but xbox cannot.
