Xbox Series S at 120hz on a DVI monitor

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello AsherTheodore, there are on the market some adapters (spliters) that make this type of separation and connection, however there are models and models, try to check on sites like Amazon, or e-Bay.

Even if you get one, there is no guarantee such an adaptor will work. The Xbox Series X and S consoles expect the display to output to an exact timing. It's likely that the DVI port has a different timing (like 119.88Hz or something like that). If the monitor does not not output the correct timing that the Xbox expects, it will not work, no matter what adaptor you buy. This is a display issue, not a console one.

It must be a pretty old monitor if it only has DVI and HDMI. There are plenty of gaming monitors that support the Series X|S, it might be a time to buy a new one.

Just because a display is 144Hz, does not mean it will automatically work on an Xbox console. Unlike the Xbox console, PC graphics cards don't need to have exact timings.

So will I be able to get the monitor, plug it into my xbox series s and do 1440p 120hz with vrr?

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...

Hi,

There is more than enough bandwidth for 1440P @120Hz with HDR on an HDMI 2.0 Monitor. On the current consoles Microsoft decided to lock HDR to 4K displays, but with the Series S that won't be an issue anymore.

HDMI standards are backwards compatible, so you won't need an HDMI 2.1 compliant Monitor to use Series X or S on an older monitor or TV that only has HDMI 2.0.

Xbox One X and S can be very fussy when it comes to full monitor support. But if you bought a monitor that fully supports the Xbox One X then it should support the same features on a Series X/S.

My advice would be to check reviews of monitors actually running on the current consoles with 120Hz support. There are loads of videos on YouTube. Just looking at the specs on a website may not be enough.
