Xbox Series X not displaying 1440p 120hz

You will need the Xbox Series X for 4K 120hz. The Series S can only do 1440p 120hz

Without display 1.4 support there is no reason to target 1440p at 120hz. Only screens are able to do this have 4k 120hz with HDMI2.1.

Hi,

Sorry you feel this way, but that is not true. There are compatibility issues with monitors and the Series X/S sure, but there are some monitors that can do 1440P 120Hz via HDMI 2.0 without issues.

The Five listed here from Rtings.com can all support 120Hz @ 1440P over HDMI 2.0.

I have also seen on here that the Samsung G7 can also do 1440P @120Hz effortlessly.

Just because your monitor doesn't work doesn't Microsoft were lying.

Also there is a lot more to the Series X than just a fast SSD. It has a GPU at least twice as fast as the Xbox One X and a CPU 3x faster. The Series X also has Raytracing.

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.

For the monitors that fully support 1440P @120Hz, HDMI 2.0 is enough. You don't need HDMI 2.1. The Samsung G5 1440P is one of those monitors. However, the rated 165Hz is for PCs running the monitor through Display port. That being said, HDMI 2.0 on this display has enough bandwidth for 1440P at 120Hz.

The important thing to note is that Xbox One X or Series X isn't like a PC and games won't run better automatically just because you've got a 1440P display. Many Xbox Series X games will still render internally at 4K and will be downscaled to the lower display resolution. You'll only see improvements in performance if said performance options are available in the game. As far as I'm aware, ACC does not have a 1440P performance mode. It doesn't need it though as it a pretty solid (for the most part) 60fps game - well, it is on Xbox Series X anyway.

These gaming monitors have a technology called FreeSync which is also supported by the console. FreeSync eliminates screen tearing and judder when performance drops.

Hi ! Do you know if Xbox series X will support and run in 1440p/120hz with a MSI Optix MAG27CQ ?

Thanks for your help

It should do, going by the online manual.

However, the Xbox One X and S can be seriously fussy when it comes to displays and this may also be the case with Series X.

Monitors that work on Xbox One X with all features should work on Series X too.

I would advise doing some research first rather than blindly buying one. YouTube is a good place to check. Make sure you actually see the console running at 1440P @ 120Hz on Xbox.
