Do you need HDMI 2.1? I mean, yes! But do you really need it to enjoy the gaming performance of the Xbox Series X?
That is what I set out to test. I spent the first day I had this console testing out the various HDR formats, refresh rates and overall settings using two displays.
I didn’t feel that after spending a lot of money on my TV and great monitor I needed to rush out and get HDMI 2.1 and I decided to wait. But what does that leave me missing out on?

I’m trying to achieve 1440p 120hz on a BenQ xl2540 monitor. If anyone has let me know
There draw back with next gen tech. Explain series x has Ability convert slightly older game like rise of tomb raider to next gen game using Dolby vision tech. Unlike PS5 which only has atmos audio playback ability only and don’t want pay Dolby Laboratories royalties for excess to their Dolby vision tech. Note series s also has only Dolby Atmos only because it was designed for pc monitor with 1440p and those still using HD TV. Only thing gaming console wise is series x only one as long tv support it and sound bar or sound system if not using such things with tv just make sure tv does.
120 hz 1440p online hdmi 2.1?
I read somewhere that this LG monitor goes to 120hz 1440p on the XSX only if variable refresh rate is turned off, as AMD freesync is only usable over HDMI up to 100hz. Is it noticeable that variable refresh rate is not being used? I was thinking of buying this monitor but am now looking at the Dell S2721DGF instead
Hi there, I wanted to point out that while you might have experience a bit of input lag on your tv over the monitor Is worth mentioning that some tvs will have a major advantage over others when it comes to input lag and the same goes for monitors. I definitely prefer to play call of duty on my monitor over the tv but I do actually play at a very high pace when it comes to call of duty,while any other games such as assassins creed or tomb rider I would definitely prefer to play it on my tv because of how immersive the experience is,yiu really get that feel of 4k quality even if it is just 4k /60fps specially if your tv is a tv with great visuals in general. My cousin however has no problems whatsoever playing call of duty on his 1080p tv that doesn't even hit 120fps because is an old tv,just a matter of preference and how important playing video games really is in your life. I think most people should go for a 4k decent tv option at 60fps. I tell you this much,the only game I play on my monitor is call of duty because of the speed, other than I would play on my monitor but from the computer simply because my pc is way more powerful than any other gaming console available prior to release of ps5 and xbox series x. Now i think i will definitely see my self playing more on my tv than before akl those ganes I used to play on pc however call of duty will always continue to be played on my computer monitor due to lightning fast input lag for competitive gaming in my personal case.
I have a 27GN850-B with the series x I cannot get It to run at 1440 p without turning off adaptive sync any suggestions?
Smoother than your pc, your pc must be very out dated. And its not 4k on series x its reconstruction (fake 4k) at 60fps.
Hes probably one of those guys who on pc use a 144hz monitor and never changed it from 60hz in the control panel
I managed to stumble across this same ability with my LG monitor, it was telling me I didn’t the capability then all of a sudden with a bit of fiddling I released the 120Hz as you just displayed.
Now that I have that I’m really happy but without an FOV slider I cannot enjoy the game to its potential in Series X.
Wich 1440p monitor allows 120hz? Will game factor Mg700 allow 120hz 1440p?
I love how he used a G Sync Monitor on a xbox
Could you do this with the series s
I'm planning on getting a 1440p, 144hz monitor and an xbox series s for the same price as the series x
Is there a way to run HDR at 1440p and 120 fps on series x ? Cant do it. I have to allow 4k, and when I dothat HDR is on but it drops at 60 fps. Will there be an update or a way to make it work ?
I have a 2020 lg nano85 so I have hdmi 2.1
Hi, I currently have the Optix MAG271CQR from MSI which is a 1440p Monitor with 144hz and HDMI 2.0
So if I understand this right, I should be able to get 120hz with 1440p right? If somebody answers this, please like my comment so I get a notification 🙂 Thanks!
2k at 120 hz work fine with cold war on my series x, but for MW there are some minor stuttering i don't know why.
The consoles won’t do more than 1440p at 120hz. Don’t need hdmi 2.1 to get that.
That's not true HDMI 2.0 can get 4k at 120 hertz 18GB
hilarious my friend's brother said he had a 2016 Sony TV and he has the new PlayStation 5 running at 4K 120 hertz?????? I'm like dude that's impossible he's like no no look and I'm looking at the TV and it just didn't look right it look like crap
I have this exact monitor but it won't let me run 1440p 120hz. Says it's not supported
Is 120hz refresh rate software dependant?
I have a monitor that supports 1440P 144Hz and it only allows me to do 1080P 120Hz. How can I change it to 1440P 120Hz??
This guy is such a liar go to 6:18 look at the monitor it says 120hz at 1080p and at 6:20 all the sudden it switches to 120hz at 1440p, why hide this? He literally edited it. Such a misleading video.
I have a 50k inch tv with 4k resolution which only allows hdmi2.0b cables am hoping I can still play 120fps with 1440p
Something to take into account is the fact that MS does not allow HDR on 1440 pp Monitors , only on 4k resolution. So in order to get HDR you can't play at 120 Hz what it sucks
So how do I run 4K at 120hz
People need to be satisfied with what they have
What monitor are you using
I use Samsung Odyssey G7 and I can reach 1440p x 120Hz! Thanks Xbox! 😀
the xbox one x can do that too. why should you buy a series x for this?
What monitor are you using? I just want one that’ll run 1440 120 that’s actually compatible with Xbox…. seems they’re hard to come by
