    Xbox Series X does not auto detect 120hz and cannot override select VRR and 120hz


    Hi,

    My monitor is a 144hz monitor and supports 144hz and Freesync via both HDMI and DVI (I tripled checked on the AMD website).

    I can only get 120hz by overriding the auto detect display option. If I do not, there is not option to select 120hz or 60hz. FreeSync is turned on, on my monitor, as well.

    When I override to 1080p / 120hz (or even 60hz) the option to select VRR is greyed out.

    Any tips? I have tried literally everything. Restarted xbox, monitor, etc.

    :)

    Xbox One X VRR Issue

    I had the same issue using a Denon hdmi 2.1 AVR. I solved it using VRR with 120hz, but I have a hdmi 2.1 tv and a Series X, not One X. I guess you are stuck with 4k without vrr or full hd 120 and vrr. Another solution is to connect the Xbox directly to the tv and use arc/earc for audio, but One X does not support 4k 120hz, so you are stuck with full hd 120 if you use vrr.

    Yes it's an Xbox series x on a hdmi 2.1 TV with 120hz and VRR. It's just another issue on MW end

    4k 120hz issue

    Hi,

    Do you have the Xbox One, or the Xbox Series S? You'd be surprised how many people get the names confused.

    If it's an Xbox One S, then that console doe not support 120Hz @ 4K. Also, the HDMI out on the Xbox One S is HDMI 2.0, not 2.1. Only the Xbox Series S and Series X support 4K @ 120Hz via the console settings. The One S is only 1080P.

    Bear in mind also, that there are no games for the Xbox One S that do 120Hz (or 120 fps). The 120Hz option is only there to support VRR (variable refresh rate).

    If you want to play 120Hz supported games, you will need a Series X. The Series S support of 120Hz games is a lot more limited.

    Note that on the Qn95a, only HDMI 4 supports HDMI 2.1

    Will I be able to play on my Series X at 1080p 120fps VRR with this monitor?

    it will work fine including vrr, you don't need hdmi 2.0/2.1 for 1080p 120hz vrr.

    that monitor is also tested to work with series x and ps5.

    My new tv supports 120hz but xbox says it doesn’t

    just having hdmi 2.1 does not make the tv support 120hz for xbox, as has already been said, your tv does not support it. you tv does have 120hz panel but not vrr, you can try and force the xbox to connect with 120hz manually but you would not have freesync/vrr and you will get horrible tearing as the xbox cannot sustain a constant 120fps.

    And apparently that tv only has 4x hdmi 2.0 ports.
