Awesome video. You answered all my questions on why things are the way they are with QHD, how the downscaling works with 4k to a 1440p monitor etc. thank you
I have a g27q gigabyte and was trying to get it to 1440p 120hz with the xbox series x. Almost gave up until i updated the firmware of the monitor to F04 via the osd sidekick. Had to manually download the F03 and F04 patches and apply them manually. All working!

I just purchased the Gigabyte M27Q with a $30 promo from Newegg for my son along with a Xbox series S. All because your two very informed videos about the Gigabyte Monitor and Xbox compatability. I'm excited to test everything along with the M27Q KVM ability with cloud gaming set up. Thanks you for your YT content.
@@ChringyTechTalk i was close to purchasing to the same Monitor you have G32QC. I wasn't sold on how big the stand looked. I don't know how stable it would be on his gaming desk. With the M27Q and KVM. If my son can get that 1440p with 120hz with his Xbox series s. Then switch to his Chrome book for virtual learning, have Samsung Dex phone connected. Also the Gaming PC, then the cloud streaming games from stadia, Xcloud game pass also without downloading them. Using the same keyboard, Remote, headset, controller, mouse etc... for all of them. With just pushing the KVM button is a nice set up for a 13 year old kid. The M27Q might be a better budget buy at the moment. Thanks again, for the informative videos!

I hope you’re able to get it to work. I ended up returning my M27Q because it wasn’t compatible. Even after turning off “Allow 4K”. Then had to deal with Newegg’s 15% restocking fee but maybe I did something wrong. Went with the Asus VG27AQ and had no problems after that

Underrated channel, just liked & subbed 😌 (You answered so many of my questions that I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet, like how to get 1440p 120hz to work and I’ve been wondering what that annoying automatic black screen was and why it kept occurring, I thought it was HDR.) 💯💪🏽💪🏽
Is the black screen caused by HDR being on while at 1440p or is it because the allow 4K box is ticked, do you know if or when Microsoft are allowing HDR for 1440p
I'm in disbelief.... Just received my gigabyte m27q. It should support 1440p 120hz vrr over hdmi (48-144hz) this is the second monitor I got that doesn't work with my xsx. I can't even get 1440p and 120hz to work. It defaults to 1080p when I choose 120fps. Am I missing something?
I purchased the same monitor for my son Xbox series s for x-mas and haven't had a chance to play with it yet. What I understand about the issue between the Xbox and some monitors is the EDID handshake what TV's tell the Xbox what it can accept. Isn't happening because the timing of the monitors and the 120hz doesn’t stay above 120hz. So the EDID handshake is like WTF, you can't do 1440p at 120hz. I believe that the issue. Now with that monitor the Display Port and the HDMI C Port can push out a max of 170hz. So those ports are unlikely to dip below 120hz. In theory. So you have to create the constant 120hz not 119hz or 165hz to 170hz to have the Xbox create the EDID handshake to have 1440p at 120hz. Now the options I'm going to attempt tomorrow is the HD Fury www.amazon.com/dp/B07VK2WSWN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_AUk5Fb8108Z7G That device works but at $100 you might be able to find a $500 monitor that doesn't have that issue. Club 3D 4K cable that this channel trying out at $32. In the reviews of the cable someone says it work. I thought I seen a TH-cam video about this cable also that said it works at 120hz on the old Xboxs www.amazon.com/dp/B085YBR936/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_kWk5Fb8R9H3M8 I also purchased this USB-C to Hdmi cable for that monitor. To use the USB-C Port you must switch the KMV to USB-port. www.amazon.com/dp/B07L882KQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_7Uk5FbYGT7A3J With that cable I don't know if it work out right. But the Display Port and HDMI-C Port can go to 170hz. If that doesn't work. I use in my living room set up. 18gbps Matrix edid scaler switch. Which i use to get the Dolby Atmos sound from my devices like my Xbox Series X and I send the sound to my HTPC. I'll attempt to use if all else fails because I don't want to mess up my set up. I use a alexa routine, I say to "Play Dolby Atmos with Xbox" my HTCP plays the sound through the Matrix that sends it to my Fire TV cube that plays the Dolby Atmos through 2 Echo Studio and Echo sub. It's a nice cheap wireless setup but I went full need retard on it and I don't want to disturb it if I don't have too.
Great response... I'm still testing the adapter, but at the end of the day, this handshake issue is not going to be a "one solution fits all" (except maybe that Hdfury). For 32 bucks, it's with trying it the cheap adapter on the monitor and seeing if it works. I've only been able to get 1080p 120hz over DisplayPort so far but that's just using ones monitor. It has worked at 1440p 120hz on others. I need more monitors to test! 🤣
@@TheMentalMKE wow, thank you the insight. I'm so clueless. I was looking through the freesync monitors list on amd and thought that was enough to make it work. There's no way they won't resolve this issue with an update in the future, right? I don't know if I should return the monitor or keep it. The monitor is great it's just not compatible with the Xbox right now
@@ZATlVA it's differently be easy update for Microsoft, but they have alot of other bugs for the Xbox series line. When the Xbox Series S was announced they made it a point to inform people. That system can do 1440p 120hz with Gaming Monitors. I'm sure a viable solution will come along shortly.
@@TheMentalMKE do you think I should keep the m27q for now and wait until they make it compatible or send it back. 1440p 60hz or 1080p 120hz isn't really what I paid for.. :/
I have m27q, I can't enable 120hz and 1440p at the same time. i have to change source to hdmi (not automatic), otherwise - 1440p is not shown in options. Please help 😢😢😢😢😢
I think I have found a fix and I have ordered one to test, but others have confirmed this works. It is an HDMI to DP adapter that supports 1440P 120hz. I have ordered it to confirm VRR functionality as well. Must do a full shutdown of the Xbox before hooking this up. Video to come when I receive it! Link - amzn.to/3r6Y0ba
Just ordered my XSX and am looking at this monitor. From what I’ve read the colors and quality are top notch. Is everything in this video still accurate/accommodate the specs needed to have the XSX running at 120/1440?
I have the 27” Gigabyte G27Q (1440p 144hz) and I can’t seem to get the same results as you, even with the same settings. I can’t seem to choose my hz as well as choose VRR and HDR options like you unless I turn auto mode off and go with HDMI but can only get 1080 at 120hz or 1440 at 60hz. Hope a fix will come soon!
@@ChringyTechTalk Thanks for getting back to me. I’m using the hdmi that came with the Xbox series x. I’ve also tried the other hdmi port. Still no luck
That is so strange..you aren't the first person that has said it hasn't worked either. But it worked for me and also others that I have talked to or read about..I wonder if Gigabyte used different panels in the same model or something...I'll try to think of a solution!
@@ChringyTechTalk It is strange considering all boxes on both ends are ticked in regards to compatibility. Maybe it is the case of an update later down the line. Can already see massive improvements with 1440 though. Looking forward to Cyberpunk next week! If you do find any solutions that’s would be great, thanks!
Great video. I somehow got this to work on the series s. Manual override. Had to put the monitor in 1080p so I could enable vvr and hdr. Ticked them boxes on. Then put it into 1440p and then switched to 120hz. It's actually worked and only took me an hour to get it to work 😂
Are you sure it works because I think the xbox actually lies to you about having 120hz while having 1440p. When you compare 1440p and 1080p is there a difference?
For TV's yes, there are some available that have HDMI 2.1 ports (I'll post some links below). Regarding monitors, HDMI 2.1 monitors are just now starting to be developed and should be releasing in 2021. LG CX 48: amzn.to/3oYAMlG Sony 900h: amzn.to/38dAekS Samsung 80T: amzn.to/2WkWK5Z VIZIO P-Series Quantum: amzn.to/3ahccs7 LG BX 55: amzn.to/3gSz4iC (These are affiliate links so it helps support me if you decide to buy one at no extra cost to you :) )
Hey man I noticed some people are having issues with enabling this feature, and I found that changing the overrides in the video fidelity options to auto-detect is the solution.
for anyone still having issues, my monitor is 1440p 165hz spec, and my xbox was saying that it didn't support high refreshrates, or anything above 1080p. I found out it was the HDMI cable I was using. If nothing seems to work, try a high-spec hdmi cable. The "high speed hdmi" stuff isn't marketing nonsense, some hdmi cables straight up can't handle high resolutions and refreshrates.
Should allow 50 and 24 hz be off too? Also noticed you have all HDR off on Xbox settings. Is that because you don’t like it on the monitor ? I have a monitor that is HDR 400 rated and have the hdr features in the Xbox on. Am I missing something ?
Make sure you are in the HDMI 2.0 port which is the port next to your DP port on the monitor. The others are not 2.0. Plug into right port then do a full shutdown on the Xbox using the general settings. Also, make sure AMD Freesync is turned on in the monitor OSD under other settings.
Good content man! Just stumbled upon your video! I got a question tho! It happens to me for some reason, but when I play WZ without HDR in 4K everything looks crisp. Yet one I play at 1440p, 60hz or 120hz(doesn't matter), my screen looks like this white haze has appeared. Wondering if you've noticed anything similar?
@@ChringyTechTalk only in the game. Once it started up at 1440p and it looked clear and normal. But then later after I switched graphics to 4K and back to 1440p again it looked hazy
@@angelironmanmorales I've found my Xbox does weird stuff when I change video settings without doing a full shutdown in between. Try going to the power options in the menu and look for "Full Shutdown". I do that everytime I change something video related.
I have the Alienware monitor, and it wouldn’t give me 120hz so what I did was go to video fidelity and overscan, switch my display to HDMI instead of auto detect, brought the resolution to like 720 but it allows you to choose resolution and it gave me the option of 120 hz
The only thing that sucks about that is Dolby Atmos don't work at 1440 on the Xbox one x 😭😭 so I have to do it through the optical wire news in an active hdmi to DisplayPort hook it up to a computer first and make sure you put 1440p at 120 hertz if your monitor supports it cuz if it's at 1440p 144 Hertz it's not going to work
Thanks for the video but my g27qc still isn't working at 1440p 120hz, it's either 1080p at 120hz or 1440p at 60hz. Plus I'm unable to tick variable refresh rate within the settings. I've made sure my freesync premium is switched on via the monitor. Very annoying.
I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a G27QC as some have reported it doesn't work and some have. It worked for me before but I want to verify again in case there were any updates etc.
I thankfully got everything working on my Asus VG27wq1b monitor. However, for some reason I can’t enable hdr on the monitor’s osd at all, the option is greyed out.
So if i get a 1440p monitor at 120hz i can't use HDR? is a temporary problem that can be fix with an update? or it will stay forever aslong as i use 1440p?
I'm also having the sam issue , my monitor dosent have VRR for some reason, ik it able to do 1440 120 but the console isn't giving me the option to do both at the same time
Lmfao, Xbox plays PlayStation games better than PlayStation plays plays PlayStation games, but even Skyrim looked better on the Nintendo switch than on PlayStation
Hola buenas una pregunta, yo tengo un monitor 1440p y 144hz y en la xbox pongo 120fps y 2k y me sale mantener la resolucion solo me deja poner una cosa alguna solucion?
very good explanation, I looked for how to put the 120 fps, when doing what you say, it worked for me in warzone, but I really don't understand something, now on the monitor it works at 120 fps, but the hdr is disabled, is this ok? I really do not know what will help me more in this game, I would appreciate your comments about it
Was this video helpful for you? Were you able to get 1440P 120HZ with VRR working? Let me know in the comments below! If your still having issues, please read the video description section about MONITOR COMPATIBILITY.
HDR being on/off doesn't matter if you have "Allow 4K" disabled because the Xbox doesn't currently support HDR at native 1440P. I'm leaving it on in my settings with the hope that they do a quick update to fix it without telling anyone 😂. Leaving it on won't hurt. You can look in the OSD of the monitor and see that even if it's turned on in the Xbox settings, it's still SDR. Biggest thing is to make sure that downscaler isn't coming into play.
@@ChringyTechTalk is this information still a thing in 2023 as I have an xbox series x and just upgraded from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p. My new monitor is an acer nitro xv272u
I'm still torn between 2k high refresh or a nice 32" 4k for Xbox series X as I don't play much fps or multiplayer at all. 90% single player games and all triple A are 30-60 fps anyway.
Hmm. Tough decision. The BENQ EW3270U (amzn.to/2Wy4fqr) would be nice for RPG's/Single player games for sure, especially if you game in a dark room! I've been enjoying the single player games that I play on the Gigabyte G32QC though!
It's great! I enjoy playing mostly on my TV but when that's taken, I flip over to the monitor :). I also primarily work on this monitor and PC game on it.
Do you know if the VIOTEK GFT27DB 27 Inch WQHD Gaming Monitor with Speakers 1440p 144Hz 1ms, FreeSync & G-SYNC will let you do 1440p at 120hz on the Xbox series X?
Very helpful video, you clarified some things i wanted to know. Since i've bought a LG 27GP850 for my XBox Series X, do you think that disabling 4K option is the right choice for my monitor too and auto 4K downscaling works the same as you showed with your Gigabyte? Thaks in advance!
Hey dude, I have a 1440p 144hz monitor (gamefactor mg700) and it supports 1440p 120hz because its HDMI 2.0 it capps out at 1080p, do you know what to do?

Hi, your channel is great. I just wanted to know if the Gigabyte G27QC has 1440p 120hz support with the xbox series x with vrr enabled? If not I will go for the g32qc
Thank you dude I was searching all day man first video that explained it perfectly once I took that 4K off now I could play cold war out 120 thank you so much
Make sure you are using HDMI port #2 on that monitor. HDMI2 supports 120Hz and freesync range up to 144Hz. HMDI1 is capped at 75Hz which would not give you 1440P 120Hz. Make sure you do a full shutdown of the Xbox using the general settings menu after changing the ports. Then update the Xbox settings.
Great video! Thanks. One question is it best to run 4k 60hz on single player games. And then go 1440p 120hz on multiplayer games? Just ordered Xbox series x. And my tv don’t support 120hz on 4k.

Thank you dude just got the Xbox one x and didn’t know how to do it this helped
Glad it helped!
I have the m27q and I saw that u had to update the firm ware but I did ur settings and it worked thx man
I'm in disbelief....
Just received my gigabyte m27q. It should support 1440p 120hz vrr over hdmi (48-144hz) this is the second monitor I got that doesn't work with my xsx. I can't even get 1440p and 120hz to work. It defaults to 1080p when I choose 120fps. Am I missing something?
I purchased the same monitor for my son Xbox series s for x-mas and haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
What I understand about the issue between the Xbox and some monitors is the EDID handshake what TV's tell the Xbox what it can accept. Isn't happening because the timing of the monitors and the 120hz doesn’t stay above 120hz.
So the EDID handshake is like WTF, you can't do 1440p at 120hz. I believe that the issue. Now with that monitor the Display Port and the HDMI C Port can push out a max of 170hz. So those ports are unlikely to dip below 120hz. In theory.
So you have to create the constant 120hz not 119hz or 165hz to 170hz to have the Xbox create the EDID handshake to have 1440p at 120hz.
Now the options I'm going to attempt tomorrow is the HD Fury
www.amazon.com/dp/B07VK2WSWN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_AUk5Fb8108Z7G
That device works but at $100 you might be able to find a $500 monitor that doesn't have that issue.
Club 3D 4K cable that this channel trying out at $32. In the reviews of the cable someone says it work. I thought I seen a TH-cam video about this cable also that said it works at 120hz on the old Xboxs
www.amazon.com/dp/B085YBR936/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_kWk5Fb8R9H3M8
I also purchased this USB-C to Hdmi cable for that monitor. To use the USB-C Port you must switch the KMV to USB-port.
www.amazon.com/dp/B07L882KQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_7Uk5FbYGT7A3J
With that cable I don't know if it work out right. But the Display Port and HDMI-C Port can go to 170hz. If that doesn't work.
I use in my living room set up. 18gbps Matrix edid scaler switch. Which i use to get the Dolby Atmos sound from my devices like my Xbox Series X and I send the sound to my HTPC.
I'll attempt to use if all else fails because I don't want to mess up my set up.
I use a alexa routine, I say to "Play Dolby Atmos with Xbox" my HTCP plays the sound through the Matrix that sends it to my Fire TV cube that plays the Dolby Atmos through 2 Echo Studio and Echo sub.
It's a nice cheap wireless setup but I went full need retard on it and I don't want to disturb it if I don't have too.
Great response... I'm still testing the adapter, but at the end of the day, this handshake issue is not going to be a "one solution fits all" (except maybe that Hdfury). For 32 bucks, it's with trying it the cheap adapter on the monitor and seeing if it works. I've only been able to get 1080p 120hz over DisplayPort so far but that's just using ones monitor. It has worked at 1440p 120hz on others. I need more monitors to test! 🤣
@@TheMentalMKE wow, thank you the insight. I'm so clueless. I was looking through the freesync monitors list on amd and thought that was enough to make it work. There's no way they won't resolve this issue with an update in the future, right? I don't know if I should return the monitor or keep it. The monitor is great it's just not compatible with the Xbox right now
@@ZATlVA it's differently be easy update for Microsoft, but they have alot of other bugs for the Xbox series line. When the Xbox Series S was announced they made it a point to inform people. That system can do 1440p 120hz with Gaming Monitors. I'm sure a viable solution will come along shortly.
@@TheMentalMKE do you think I should keep the m27q for now and wait until they make it compatible or send it back. 1440p 60hz or 1080p 120hz isn't really what I paid for.. :/
I have m27q, I can't enable 120hz and 1440p at the same time. i have to change source to hdmi (not automatic), otherwise - 1440p is not shown in options. Please help 😢😢😢😢😢
There are reported issues with that monitor. Microsoft is working on a software fix to allow 1440p at 120hz but I do not know how long it will be.
I have m27q and got the same problem 😭😭 please @chringy tech talk can u notify me when it will be resolved?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think I have found a fix and I have ordered one to test, but others have confirmed this works. It is an HDMI to DP adapter that supports 1440P 120hz. I have ordered it to confirm VRR functionality as well. Must do a full shutdown of the Xbox before hooking this up. Video to come when I receive it! Link - amzn.to/3r6Y0ba

@Chringy Tech Talk thank u❤️
Don't know if its already been mentioned, but you may need to update your monitor's firmware to get these results.
How
hey man, for some reason i can run 1080p at 120 but 1440 isn’t even a option, how can i fix that?
I have the the m27Q and i cant get 1440p to work either no matter what I turn on or off???
i also have the g32uc and that one works just fine in 1440p with 120 fps thought not sure why the m27q wont do 1440p?
You need to update the firmware on the M27Q! They had a fix for it
Just ordered my XSX and am looking at this monitor. From what I’ve read the colors and quality are top notch. Is everything in this video still accurate/accommodate the specs needed to have the XSX running at 120/1440?
Hey! Congrats on finding an XSX! Yep - 1440P 120Hz works great on the Gigabyte G32QC. I play it often :)
I have the 27” Gigabyte G27Q (1440p 144hz) and I can’t seem to get the same results as you, even with the same settings. I can’t seem to choose my hz as well as choose VRR and HDR options like you unless I turn auto mode off and go with HDMI but can only get 1080 at 120hz or 1440 at 60hz. Hope a fix will come soon!
Have you tried connecting to the other HDMI port? (just a thought). And you are using the cable that came with the Xbox Series X correct?
@@ChringyTechTalk Thanks for getting back to me. I’m using the hdmi that came with the Xbox series x. I’ve also tried the other hdmi port. Still no luck
That is so strange..you aren't the first person that has said it hasn't worked either. But it worked for me and also others that I have talked to or read about..I wonder if Gigabyte used different panels in the same model or something...I'll try to think of a solution!
@@ChringyTechTalk It is strange considering all boxes on both ends are ticked in regards to compatibility. Maybe it is the case of an update later down the line. Can already see massive improvements with 1440 though. Looking forward to Cyberpunk next week! If you do find any solutions that’s would be great, thanks!

Will the Asus VG27aq work well with the Xbox Series S? because I am thinking about buying it for the Series S.
Yes - I think that monitor would be a good fit for the S!
I bought my VG27AQ1A online for my Xbox Series S. Cant wait it!
Great video.
I somehow got this to work on the series s. Manual override. Had to put the monitor in 1080p so I could enable vvr and hdr. Ticked them boxes on. Then put it into 1440p and then switched to 120hz. It's actually worked and only took me an hour to get it to work 😂
Nice!
when i put vrr on then manual override it turns off vrr how do i get 1440p 120hz and vrr?
id even be ok with 1440 60hz and vrr if thats easier
@@cashcowpc7162 make sure you have VRR turned on in the monitor first, then do a full reset of the Xbox. Then turn it on in the Xbox.
Are you sure it works because I think the xbox actually lies to you about having 120hz while having 1440p. When you compare 1440p and 1080p is there a difference?
I turned on freeSync on my monitor. Because of your advice I did NOT return my gaming curved screen so thank you.
Heyyy is it possible to get a monitor or tv that does 4K 120fps with Xbox series X/S
For TV's yes, there are some available that have HDMI 2.1 ports (I'll post some links below). Regarding monitors, HDMI 2.1 monitors are just now starting to be developed and should be releasing in 2021.

Hey man I noticed some people are having issues with enabling this feature, and I found that changing the overrides in the video fidelity options to auto-detect is the solution.
Yeah! Great point out. If you can’t get it to auto detect then trying to force manually is definitely worth a try!
for anyone still having issues, my monitor is 1440p 165hz spec, and my xbox was saying that it didn't support high refreshrates, or anything above 1080p. I found out it was the HDMI cable I was using. If nothing seems to work, try a high-spec hdmi cable. The "high speed hdmi" stuff isn't marketing nonsense, some hdmi cables straight up can't handle high resolutions and refreshrates.
But isn’t the stock cable the xbox comes with supposed to handle that?
Yeah it does
Should allow 50 and 24 hz be off too? Also noticed you have all HDR off on Xbox settings. Is that because you don’t like it on the monitor ? I have a monitor that is HDR 400 rated and have the hdr features in the Xbox on. Am I missing something ?
this still does not work for me, when i go into video modes allow variable refresh rate is not even a selectable option, somone help
Which monitor?
Chringy Tech Talk it’s a monoprice qhd zero-g gaming monitor 27” 1440p 144 hz
Chringy Tech Talk can you help???
Make sure you are in the HDMI 2.0 port which is the port next to your DP port on the monitor. The others are not 2.0. Plug into right port then do a full shutdown on the Xbox using the general settings. Also, make sure AMD Freesync is turned on in the monitor OSD under other settings.
@@ChringyTechTalk thank you i will try, definatly subbing if this works
Good content man! Just stumbled upon your video! I got a question tho! It happens to me for some reason, but when I play WZ without HDR in 4K everything looks crisp. Yet one I play at 1440p, 60hz or 120hz(doesn't matter), my screen looks like this white haze has appeared. Wondering if you've noticed anything similar?
I have not noticed anything like that. Does it continue in the Xbox menu also or only in game?
@@ChringyTechTalk only in the game. Once it started up at 1440p and it looked clear and normal. But then later after I switched graphics to 4K and back to 1440p again it looked hazy
@@angelironmanmorales I've found my Xbox does weird stuff when I change video settings without doing a full shutdown in between. Try going to the power options in the menu and look for "Full Shutdown". I do that everytime I change something video related.
@@ChringyTechTalk thanks! Didn't think about that!
I have the Alienware monitor, and it wouldn’t give me 120hz so what I did was go to video fidelity and overscan, switch my display to HDMI instead of auto detect, brought the resolution to like 720 but it allows you to choose resolution and it gave me the option of 120 hz
Yeah some monitors are able to force the settings using the manual. Nice! Glad you got it to work
The only thing that sucks about that is Dolby Atmos don't work at 1440 on the Xbox one x 😭😭 so I have to do it through the optical wire news in an active hdmi to DisplayPort hook it up to a computer first and make sure you put 1440p at 120 hertz if your monitor supports it cuz if it's at 1440p 144 Hertz it's not going to work
Thanks for the video but my g27qc still isn't working at 1440p 120hz, it's either 1080p at 120hz or 1440p at 60hz. Plus I'm unable to tick variable refresh rate within the settings. I've made sure my freesync premium is switched on via the monitor. Very annoying.
I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a G27QC as some have reported it doesn't work and some have. It worked for me before but I want to verify again in case there were any updates etc.
All you need to do is make sure free sync is on then turn your Xbox off and monitor off then back on then it’ll let you change to 120hz
Thanks for the info Kane! Do you have this model and can confirm if works?
Asus vg27aq
Same model I believe maybe different last letters as mines aus version
I thankfully got everything working on my Asus VG27wq1b monitor. However, for some reason I can’t enable hdr on the monitor’s osd at all, the option is greyed out.
Might be because of the Xbox issue with HDR at 1440P.
i have the same monitor as you but its not working for me. did you follow his steps exactly? or did you do anything on the monitor?
Have you got it working yet? I ordered the exact monitor but the 32inch

very good explanation, I looked for how to put the 120 fps, when doing what you say, it worked for me in warzone, but I really don't understand something, now on the monitor it works at 120 fps, but the hdr is disabled, is this ok? I really do not know what will help me more in this game, I would appreciate your comments about it
Was this video helpful for you? Were you able to get 1440P 120HZ with VRR working? Let me know in the comments below! If your still having issues, please read the video description section about MONITOR COMPATIBILITY.
Wait so you said you turn hdr off, however on your setting it’s on? I’m confuse
HDR being on/off doesn't matter if you have "Allow 4K" disabled because the Xbox doesn't currently support HDR at native 1440P. I'm leaving it on in my settings with the hope that they do a quick update to fix it without telling anyone 😂. Leaving it on won't hurt. You can look in the OSD of the monitor and see that even if it's turned on in the Xbox settings, it's still SDR.
Biggest thing is to make sure that downscaler isn't coming into play.

Make sure you are using HDMI port #2 on that monitor. HDMI2 supports 120Hz and freesync range up to 144Hz. HMDI1 is capped at 75Hz which would not give you 1440P 120Hz.
