Why does the Xbox One X force all content (including streaming video) into ALLM if VRR is...

The issue isn't if console games have screen tearing or not. That is what the VRR is designed to do. It also helps smooth out some screen jittering due to inconsistent frame rates. You are completely entitled to your opinion if it is needed or not, that
was not the purpose of my response.

The reason you don't see screen tearing issues with console games is because the frame rates are generally locked to either 30 or 60 fps. If the system can run the game at a near constant 30 or 60 fps you won't get screen tearing. The only need for VRR
is for the games that developers are turning off the frame limiters on.

However screen tearing on consoles happen. It is infrequent but it does happen. It is usually very quick and most of the time people will not notice it happens.

Here is a video of an example of screen tearing in Borderlands on the XBOX ONE:

Freesync is stupid, I never use it. Why would u want to lower your monitor refresh rate? Xbox already has vsync on

Playing games on a tv always have high input lag

The C7P has a 120 Hz panel and is able to interpolate lower frame rate content to 120 fps, which significantly improves motion.

Lmao your tv isnt even real 120hz its 60 interpolate

TV Refresh Rates are fake that why everyone uses monitiors

I use a MS Optix MAG241C monitor, real refresh and reponse rate and only $200 https://us.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MAG241C

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c7-oledYour tv has a fake refresh rate it double draws the frames, your tv cant fake frames with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) hence turns off interpolation, the xbox isnt
doing anything your tv is

Thanks, Duster. Appreciate the response. I'm worried that we will never get a fix if we can't pinpoint where the issue is (i.e. on the console side or the TV manufacturer side).

This is a known problem with Samsung TVs as well, unless they have released an update that fixes this behavior. Problem is it could also be the way the Xbox handles the signal. Unfortunately until either the TV manufactures or Microsoft fix the problem
in an update you have found the only "fix" I have found. It's unknown right now, as far as I know, if it is the TV side or the console side that has the issue. I suspect the reason ALLM turns off when Disc based video is played is because the TV goes into
24hz mode.

So long and short of it, you have pretty much answered your own question until LG/Sony/Samsung release a fix or Microsoft releases a fix.

- Trashing a 55 inch 10 bit 4k HDR OLED while boasting about an 8 bit 24 inch 1080p LCD that can’t even do HDR?!? Lmao, p-lease! Envy, much?

If you’re gonna be THAT guy, mocking people’s posts and hardware without provocation, bragging about your hardware and acting like you know it all then at least get your facts straight first.

1. Why are you going on about true 120hz? And why are you linking Rtings and blathering on about the 2017 LG C7 model when the OP is about the 2019 C9 model? . . . Oops! xD Heads up, the C9 is true 120hz, not fake interpolated. It supports 120hz upto 1440p
with HDMI 2.0 sources and 4k 120 with HDMI 2.1 sources.

2. “Freesync is stupid. Why would you want to lower your refresh rate?”

- Ironic that you would label something “stupid” when its clear you don’t even know what it’s supposed to do, let alone how it works, lol. If you think console games don’t ever use adaptive Vsync which can result in tearing then I suggest you go read some
Digital Foundry articles. Not every game uses hard Vsync and those that do use hard Vsync can suffer from hard fps drops to a fraction of the target refresh if that target cannot be met. That’s the tradeoff for no tearing. VRR conpatible games are thus gradually
being released with VRR performance modes where framerate is not locked at 30 but performance is not consistent enough for a full 60 either.

3. “Playing games on a TV always have a high input lag”.

- Nope, not anymore. This year’s LG OLEDs have the lowest input lag in a gaming TV ever. Circa 13ms in 60hz modes and *under 7ms* in 120hz mode. Your monitor will be around 5ms input lag at best, probably higher.

Hardly the massive difference you make it out to be and besides, the Mag241C can’t even hope to compete against the C9 for colour reproduction, contrast, black levels, luminosity, motion handling and panel uniformity.

I suggest you do your homework beforehand next time.
