    Why can I not play at 1440p 120Hz with HDR?


    Hi everyone.

    I had purchase a new monitor Lenovo g27q-20. It allow 1440p, 165 hz, HDR, Freesync premium, and his pannel is IPS, with a HDMI 2.0 port. It can run Games in a PC gamer at 1440p 120Hz with HDR10 on and also Freesync on using the HDMI 2.0 port, but in my Xbox Series X I can't play with HDR10 at the same resolution and fresh rate.

    Reading on the net, I found many articles of 2020 and the first half of 2021 discussing this topic. Since Xbox One S HDR is block with only 4K resolution, and that is my concern, Why is only on 4k resolution?

    I can play with HDR in my monitor allowing the 4k in my console but playing at 2160p, 60Hz and obviusly I prefer to play in 1440p with 120Hz and for it I need to disallow the 4K in my console.

    Is Microsoft or Xbox team planning to add HDR10 to 1440p/QHD resolution at 120hz fresh rate on a near future? Why is it block to only 4K resolution since 2016?

    Thanks for your help.

    :)

    Xbox One X on the LG C9 Oled TV doesn’t use HDR for resolutions other than 4K

    I’m unable to play at 1440p with HDR, that was my goal (1440p@120Hz).

    Unable to 120Hz at 1440p Even Though Monitor Supports 144Hz at 1440p

    https://www.windowscentral.com/xbox-one-120hz

    This article clearly states Xbox add 120Hz for 2K or 1440p, but why is it that I cannot get it to enable on my AOC AGON HDR 32in monitor?

    Will Xbox series x/s have more monitors that run 1440p @ 120hz than current gen consoles?

    I have a Samsung CHG70, it supports 1440P 120hz. If you want HDR you have to set it for freesync on the monitor and turn VRR on the xbox. Im hoping the series x supports 1440P 120hz with HDR on and not having to turn freesync on at all because its only
    limited to 80fps i believe.

    Xbox series x: 1440p, 120hz

    On your PC, go into the resolution selection screen and check to see if the 1440p lists the refresh rate as 120Hz or 119.9Hz (might be slightly different than 199.9).....if it's not 120Hz exactly, then that would be why.

    If it lists 120Hz exactly, then the Xbox should be fine with it. Have noted that your monitor is an HDR monitor so go into monitor settings and make sure HDR is turned off (and also in Xbox settings)....the Xbox can only support HDR at 4k so it causes issues

    You're a little discombobulated there.

    I can display 1440p ONLY at 144Hz, and cannot at 120Hz on Xbox. I can only display 1440p at 60Hz on Xbox one X.

    Yes I can display 1440p at 60Hz with Freesync - Although 120Hz without Freesync would still technically be better but unfortunately that is not possible with the restrictions on Xbox one X.

    I use 1440p @ 60Hz settings with Freesync and HDR with 32 bit color. I get a pretty damn good picture but I'm just a little upset I can't use the 120Hz feature.
