I know this is a year old video but my dude you’re a hero. Your intro alone was like you were in my head. Just got series x and a monitor for 120hz and it wasn’t working. Seriously the best. Great video

Omg I was so mad I was capped at 1080 120 until you showed me this. You are an absolute star.

Honestly I don't know if I'll ever watch another one of your videos, but you have gained a subscriber and a like on this video, I've spent 6 hours trying to figure out why my brand new monitor cannot run on 1440/120 and watched at least 30 videos before stumbling across yours and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

I know every monitor is different (as he mentioned in the video), however for me actually worked. I've been searching for a fix for 3h now. Thank you

Awesome video, have been trying to fix this problem on my monitor for almost two weeks now and finally found a video that was able to walk me through step by step. Thank you!

I love you for this video. I had my Xbox settings for video fidelity overscan at HDMI and not auto which made my Odyssey G7 downscale at 1440p x 60Hz or 1080p x 120Hz

it worked and fixed the preoblem i had with some games doing 120fps and some still doing 60. Thanks!

Awesome man thanks!!!

it worked thank you so much. got a sub

Wow I wasn't expecting this to work but it did thanks

Thanks for your time … 💪💪💪 it worked for me

thank you so much dude!!! i was trying so hard for the past week to try and fix this. I have a VG27A1A and I could only do the typical 1080p/120hz or 1440p/60hz. On the video modes section in the display options (xbox) , i couldnt allow variable refresh rate. I could turn it on with my monitor, but not with my xbox. I then went and changed the hdmi override in the “video fidelity & overscan” menu to auto detect, and that made it work!! i was able to go back to video mode and turn on variable refresh rate and go back finally and turn on 1440p and 120hz. You’re a livesaver dude!!! I appreciate the help so much and the stress you have relieved for me. Thank you dog👍👍💯💯

Thank you so much this worked I was so frustrated seeing I bought a 1440p monitor and couldn’t run it at 120 hz but this definitely helped

This helped thank you.

You're a legend!🙏

Your resolution literally changed back to 1080P after you selected 120hz..

Thanks so much bro 🙏🏼

Thank you, it worked

Thank you so much man I was strugggggling

workedddd thanks kinggg

Yes, it worked. Thanks

Thank you man 🙏

Thank you 🙏🏼 this worked for me I was about to return my new monitor out of impulsive anger 😅

Thank you 💚

Thank you , I got my monitor to 120hz using the manual settings . Display override to HDMI and changed it to 120hz . I am using the hmdi 2.1 but it isn’t necessary since I’m only at 1080P

I love you, it works 🤙🏻

I made it work by doin pretty much what was said in this video! Im running using a Samsun Odyssey G7 27’’ monitor. When using the hdmi port the menu on the monitor lets me turn freesync on/off. I started with turning it on > sett overrides to automatic > uncheck «allow 4K» > check VRR ON > set video fidelity to 8bits (none of the higher ones worked). After doing this i could set 1440p resolution with 120hz WITHOUT getting the message saying that its not supported and will change to the highest thing supported:)

Thank you this one actually helped ! Don’t disable free sync on my LG ultra gear 32gn63t. Everyone says to disable free sync but it allows to activate VRR which enables you to run 1440p at 120hz!

This video is still saving consoles and monitors 2 years later!

Yo thanks for your help man it really work they way you said it in your video thanks a lot I subscribed to your channel just in case I need help again

Man you’re a life saver thanks

After I changed Overscan from HDMI to Auto I could enable variable Refresh rate and then it worked. Thank you so much

Video still works in October 2023 good stuff m8

Thx you so much😊

thx worked for my Hanspree 2k 144hhz 32" (11.02.22)

It worked for me thanks so much

Great video

At first I wasnt able to get this to work but I tried turning freesync off just in case and after that it worked. I know you mentioned screen tearing but Ill try it out and see if its bad or not. Thanks for the video

This vid is the one. If you got the huawei mateview for the xbox follow these steps it wont let you select the variable refresh rate but been using this for a full week now no issues spot on!

thank uuuuu so much

Thankyou so much

After watching like 20 videos and reading a bunch of redit posts none of them helped they said to turn OFF Freesync and I could not get 120hz @ 1440p to work I'm using a Samsung G5 Odyssey and my VRR was grayed out but thank you for this video everything is now working at 1440p @120hz that deserves a subscribe for sure!

This really helped me! On my Samsung 27 1440p 144hz

This was almost amusing, mine worked right out the box, however I was hunting more for info on HDMI 2.1 to DP, as I would rather use the DP for far more universal monitor capabilities. Luckily my monitor does display some extra information and it is accurate when comparing to the in game fps counter in some of the games I play.

Worked for me !!!

It depends what brand of monitor you are using. I have a ASUS VGAQL1A 1440p 144hz monitor and I'm able to run my XSX on 1440p @ 120fps settings relativity easy. What I have learned is that you need to uncheck the 4K box in your display settings and check VRR. While you use 120fps you cannot use HDR even if your monitor supports it because Xbox locks HDR behind the 4k setting.

i love you for this

Thanks bro I got a Samsung odyssey g5 and was having this problem but this video solved that problem

It doesn’t say I can allow 4K at the start of the tutorial. I have the ultra speed HDMI cable, the Series X obviously and a 144Hz monitor

Here's a question for the community. I just upgraded to a 1440p/120fps monitor (LG 32GP83B), from a pre-2k10 Samusung flatscreen tv. Here's my issue, my shot release has slowed down. I went from Early to Very Early release and my release is still a bit slow on its release point. Is there a fix to this or is this something i need to adjust to? Thanks and Happy Holidays y'all.

Thank you

by far the best explanation for this issue

I have an LG-gn850 1440p 144h monitor, turned free sync off and now running at 120h. Wow what a Difference, otherwise what's the point.

I bought the g7 Odyssey 27inch curved. I couldn't get the option for vrr unchecked on the Xbox. I couldn't get 1440p and 120hz. I had to return it. I did about 5hrs of research. People say it works but I couldn't get it to function

This did not work with my monitor, an older Viotek GN27D. Going through all of the video settings on both the console and the monitor, I can still only get either 1080p120 or 1440p60 and not the full 1440p120 that the monitor is capable of. Also, while it is a Freesync monitor, the console doesn't start with VRR even available as an option until I either disable and re-enable Freesync on the monitor or change the override settings off of auto-detect and back on.

I hope this work. I just received my Xbox series x and had this issue. My PS5 works perfectly fine on the monitor I have so I know it was something else. I'll give this a try.

I have an xbox series S and a gigabyte m27q 1440p monitor and no matter what i do and it just does not let me do 1440p at all

Thanks

If you have adaptive sync on your monitor enable it. Auto select (recommend) input on console. Choose 1440p and it will change to 120hz. On xbox series enable allow vaiable refresh rates and allow ycc 4:2:2. Choose what ever colour scheme you want only on monitor. You should be good to go and enjoy 1440p at 120hz on next gen consoles 👍

All I had to do is turn off adaptive sync on my monitor and it worked

My friend has a 144hz monitor brand new and the Xbox series s and his made sure his Xbox series s is set to 120hz refresh rate but he doesn’t get the 120fps mode option in fortnite. Can someone please help me? I can’t figure it out…

All I had to do was the auto detect recommended setting and mine worked

I have a acer predator xb273x and I’m not able to run 120fps I have brought a hdmi to dp cable and still nothing do you have any ideas?

I have an ASUS VG27AQ that can run 1440p 165hz but only has two HDMI 2.0 ports. Is the HDMI cable provided that comes with the Xbox Series X important to use for HDMI 2.0 ports, or does it matter? And do you guys use a surge protector with your Series X's?

It shows me the option but when i press it it still goes on 60hz although i have 120hz monitor

Has anyone ever had a problem with their monitor just slowly losing color and resolution. Just got the Samsung G5 Odyssey and it looks absolutely incredible. For about 5 minutes then just turns into this grey mess and i can't see shit. Started off i noticed i would go from one loading screen to the next and i could still kind of see the previous screen i was on. Things brand new starting to think it's messed up.

None of these worked for me I have a predator xb3 gaming monitor and a series x I can’t get 1440 p while running 120 it just doesn’t show in the setting menu

I have Xbox series x and I have the sceptre E27 and can’t get 120 fps. Anybody know how I can get it? I have ultra high speed hdmi cord but the osd on my monitor doesn’t give me advanced settings.

MSI OPTIX MAG274QRF-QD, can i play 1440p and 120hz at the same time for the Xbox series x? I’m seriously so confused over all these things lol

tried to find "monster i have become" to send it to an edy friend but now im learning how monitors work because it autocorrected to "monitor i have become" oh my god

So you have to have free sync to enable 1440p at 120hz ? I'm using a acer x27p which can do 120hz and 144hz oc and it's 4K (with nvidia g sync ultimate) but I get no 1440p option

When I have auto-detect under display and allow variable refresh rate on it doesn’t let me use 1440p anymore

Will this work with series S too? I have it set to 1440 @120 but I cant tell if it actually displaying i have a 32inch dell 1440 144 monitor hooked up

would this only apply if the monitor is 120hz what if the monitor is 165hz max ? also is their any way to tell if the monitor has standard vesa timings ? i just replaced my msi monitor that broke with one from acer and i cant get it to work on series x 120hz 1440p

What do we do if the allow 4k isn’t showing highlighted

Any idea on how to do this on a Sceptre 32 inch QHD IPS LED Monitor?

Holy shit it fucking worked. I've racked my brain for MONTHS

I got a msi monitor that’s 75hz and when I switched it to 120hz the monitor said out of range is there a way to make it run at 75hz or will I be stuck at 60hz?

Hi mine black screens when I switch to 1440p then reverts to 1080p bu I have to have override set to hdmi for 1440p to show up as an option

Hey brother I have a MAG27CQ and it won’t even show me the drop down for refresh rate in the General display settings any idea why?

I'm about to buy the MSI optix G272, do you know if it is compatible with the Xbox?

Anyone had any luck with this with the HP 27xq? I can't seem to get the VRR box to become tickable. Even tho the monitor is freesync supported. Also the OSD on the monitor doesn't seem to have a freesync option even though I think it should.

Do you know if there will be or can be an update to fix this issue, bought a new LG monitor 1440p 120hz and my Xbox doesn’t allow me to run it

Now we just need Sony to enable 1440 p support

After manually choosing HDMI over Autodetect i can no longer activate "allow 4K" and therefore this guide does not work for me My PS5 has no issues running 1440p 120hz with HDR, so it's def not my monitor. Im honestly very dissapointed Microsoft dropped the ball so hard.
