Hello BLUEREAPER777,

I appreciate you for bringing this up to Xbox Forum.

I’m not sure about the transfer rate but according to a post on Microsoft Community, HDR is locked to 4k so if your monitor doesn’t accept 4k signals (tick allow 4k box in settings must be selected for HDR), it doesn’t work on 1080p 1440p displays usually only if they accept 4k signals. Because Microsoft locked it since Xbox One S and One X1.



However, Samsung leads 1440p with the Odyssey G7 which is feature-rich and equipped to handle all types of gaming and productivity. It packs a striking image with the best gaming features, as reflected in the price.

Based on other research to an article from seekingtech.com, the Xbox Series X can only support HDR when it is outputting a 4K signal. If the console is outputting at 1080p or 1440p instead, then you will get a non-HDR (also known as SDR) image.

I hope I was able to answer your queries, if not let me know so I can refer this to the technical team.

If you have other clarifications, you can get back to us by replying to this post.

I am more than happy to follow up and help you.



Sincerely,

I have a Samsung CHG70, it supports 1440P 120hz. If you want HDR you have to set it for freesync on the monitor and turn VRR on the xbox. Im hoping the series x supports 1440P 120hz with HDR on and not having to turn freesync on at all because its only
limited to 80fps i believe.

Hi,

The Samsung S28AG700NU is a 4K monitor. Why are you trying to run it in 1440P? The Series S can run in 4K, the games will not render in 4K, but console can still be in 4K.

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.
