Acer Nitro XZ273U Pbmiiphx 27" 1000R Curved Zero-Frame WQHD (2560 x 1440) Gaming Monitor with AMD FreeSync Premium is my exact monitor and my monitor is just connected with a 2.0 hdmi cord.

because the monitor will have 1080p 120hz listed and will be exact, only way to find out is from any documentation for that monitor. or calling them.

Xbox series X and Acer Nitro RG321QU 120hz 1440p - Microsoft Community

"When you connect your console to a monitor or TV it reads a chip on your display that tells it what it is capable of. This is called E-EDID and stands for Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data. This tells the Xbox what the display can 'officially' do display wise in regards to resolution, timings, HDR, etc.

At the moment, Xbox consoles only accept timings from the official VESA standard (Video Electronics Standards Association). These official timings are reported to the console, but many monitors also have non-standard timings.

For example, your monitor's maximum refresh is 119.88 which is not the VESA standard, it's a unique refresh for that display. In other words, because it's not in the VESA standard that Microsoft has put down for displays, you won't be able to select 120Hz on your monitor. Plug your PC into that monitor and it will be able to do 120Hz at 1440P all day because your PC can use the preferred timings in the E-EDID template of your monitor, it's not stuck with VESA timings..

I'm pretty sure Microsoft can release an update to get this fixed, but until then, you're either stuck running the monitor at a lower resolution or buying a new monitor that more strictly conforms to the VESA timings standard."

This is why some people have trouble setting 120hz on a specific resolution on a monitor. The monitor refresh rate on a specific resolution (let's say 1440p here) can be something like 119.80. And the VESA standard wants it to be at least 119.98.

When you use 1440p as the resolution, you can only select 60hz as the refresh rate?

because that monitor supports set refresh rates at certain resolutions and 120hz is not one listed in the edid for that res, you can select that on pc as pc gpu's can deal with it, the xbox needs to have specific refresh rates listed in the edid and these have to be exact, most monitors only show 120hz as 119.98.
