XBOX Series X Won't Display on Samsung Q95

Hi,

The Series X supports 1080P resolution in the settings same as Xbox One and One X. Games on Series X will still render in 4K, but will downscale to whatever display you have. There won't be any loss in quality at all.

it only happens to the Xbox X series + Samsung TV. I have Xbox one and a sony TV as well. I tried Xbox X series + Sony TV and Xbox one + Samsung TV. both work...

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.

I don't have a soundbar setup, just straight from console to TV.

I feel like Samsung can't really deny that the update is the cause. I tested the Series X with another display and could not replicate the issue. That's on top of the fact that everyone having this issue is using some form of Samsung TV...

Power of deduction and all that... lol

As mentioned above, your monitor likely won't support what the Series X needs. Often the refresh rate is slightly different (due to different standards being used)....the Series X needs an exact 120Hz setting to run whereas the monitor may actually be 119Hz so it won't work.

If you have access to a computer or laptop, plug it in to the monitor and then got to Windows settings, click on "System", then "Display"...scroll down to "Advance Display Settings" and click it. This should display your monitor along with the refresh rate it will display. See whether it is displayed as 120Hz or 119Hz
