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
Thank you. Glad i could help :)
Your resolution literally changed back to 1080P after you selected 120hz..

Well he said that it won't work for him because he doesn't have the correct monitor to show this...
The guy is actually a clown he's telling us to check mark things that he didn't even check mark.. what a moron...
Bros special ed
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!
Glad it helped :) thanks for watching
Omg I was so mad I was capped at 1080 120 until you showed me this. You are an absolute star.
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.
Thanks for the information. I’m sure others will find it helpful.
Thank you, it's working now.
Thanks G
Does it need 2.1 hdmi to do 1440 120hz for the series x
@@theSQUARE198 no. You can run 1440p @ 120fps on hdmi 2.0, however 2.1 would be better if you're willing to spend the money. During the 5 months since this post, while I game my screen goes totally blank for a few seconds then returns to normal. This rarely happens and it is thankfully not constant. My guess is that the video output is being pushed to its limit on hdmi 2.0
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:)
Legend! Only thing that worked for me
I just had to return my g7! I couldn't get the vrr option on Xbox unchecked and I did about 5 hrs or research and trouble shooting. Ahhh
Let me correct myself. The vrr option wouldn't allow me to check it and it stayed grey'd out. I updated the monitor first thing too
The G7 has hdmi 2.1 right?
Is this the 2.1 HDMI 4k G70A? If so you are a godsend. I've been trying to figure this out for a week now. Will try ASAP on my setup.
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 👍
What about the hdmi cables being 2.0 or 2.1? Can I still 1440p 125hz on something like a msi mag321cqr 2.0 hdmi with a Xbox series x..? Cause it seems to me everyone has trouble getting all 3 vrr, 1440p, 125hz
I don't know why but I can't get it to run. I was running 1440p 120hz on on my series x with the same monitor I am using but all of a sudden it won't let me. Oh well
and allow 4k too so it will let you use hdr
@@MrCaptiv8 hdr is trash on series x altogether. It’s garbage
When I hit auto detect on my series x it doesn’t show 1440 anymore any help
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
When I try to get 120hz with auto detect it doesn’t pop up or give me the option
@@Goosmen yeah most people have this problem, no idea why tho, no one ever says why
For some reason in my Dell 2721dgf when I set to auto and play 1440@120 I get increased input lag. But when I use hdmi override and play 1080@120, there is no input lag experienced
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.
Same here, man.. I have a Viotek GFV27DAB... same exact problem you have.
@@cajin4325 u fix it yet? I have the same monitor
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!
Twinsies
What are you settings I just got and finishes setting it up and your my only source for fixes now lol
@@burnttaco2869 Im running it on Gamer 2 settings. Besides that everything else is the same. Free sync on basic not extended. 1 ms is off for some reason but i don’t see it being an issue as I’m playing a lot faster and smoother then my previous monitor. Would like to have 1 MS on to see if there’s a deference tho.
@@calvinramirez6374 I don’t think 1ms is worth it tbh, for me it makes it abit darker, To enable you have to turn of free sync and for hdr games I disabled it on the console video settings and I’ve been able to play the games at 120hz and the free sync varies by game some can handle extended without loosing frames but basic is still good, hdr games if you’ve noticed makes it darker and only 60hz max frame rate, I can live without it might as well get the most out of the monitor
i was able to get 120hz but i wasnt able to get 1440p idk why? i have the lg ultra gear 32gp83B with the series X anyone have this issue? i need help BAD
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.
It shows me the option but when i press it it still goes on 60hz although i have 120hz 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.
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 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
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 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?
The Xbox has a built in surge protector and is not recommended to use one
After I changed Overscan from HDMI to Auto I could enable variable Refresh rate and then it worked. Thank you so much
I can’t change my Hz when I change from HDMI to Auto. Any fix?
@@AttackSiren no its locked
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.
Im having a problem where my color screen is like sometime of yellow? It was working fine and then it just turnt into yellow you know how to fix?
Oh man. I've done all the steps in this video and the option for setting refresh rate does not show up when freesync is enabled. Beyond frustrating! Microsoft should not make it this difficult to do something PC's can readily do.
Anyone else stuck?
it worked and fixed the preoblem i had with some games doing 120fps and some still doing 60. Thanks!
Hey Man U think U can help me
Yeah only some games support 120 fps at the moment
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
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.
Did you ever figure this out?
Tried everything in this video, but still doesn't work. With auto detect on, I don't even get the option for 120hz. That only comes up when I set it to HDMI. Variable refresh doesn't change anything whether it's checked or unchecked. My monitor is 1440p 120hz and the Xbox is plugged into its HDMI 2.0 port
Have the same probleeeemmmm
same
Let me know if you figure it out
same here
I also have the same problem
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
I have a viotek gn27db monitor that is 1440 144hz. I am having trouble trying to figure this out. The hdmi is 2.0 and the Display port is 1.2. I am currently using hdmi. I followed all of the directions but still nothing works. Just keeps it at 1440 60hz. Can anyone help please?
I believe your issue is the monitor does not have a 2.1 hdmi port which is required.
I understand that the Xbox can only run 1440p at 120hz at hdmi 2.1 after more research but hdmi 2.0 is capable of 1440 at 120hz. Unfortunately Xbox can not process run 1440 at 120 with hdmi 2.0. Many people have the same problem I do. My monitor is more than capable of 120 hz on 1440. It is capable of 1440 at 120 hz on hdmi 2.0 and 1440 at 144hz on the display port 1.2. This just seems to be an xbox problem and hopefully there’s a patch in the next update that fixes this and makes the xbox more compatible with hdmi 2.0 monitors.
Yeah that would be nice. I don’t really understand the technical reason behind but from what I understand Xbox requires the 2.1. But yea I hope they come up with a good solution for monitor players.
@@dannymarks9591 did you ever find a solution?
@@dannymarks9591did you find anything or something we can get a benefit of?
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
you have an HDMI 2.0 Monitor...it won't work at 4K/120 without HDMI 2.1...you are stuck at 1440P/120
@@tompupino424 2 years late my guy I have a 4K 144hz monitor I got it all fixed
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👍👍💯💯
Glad the video helped you :)
how did u change it
How did you manage to get this working? I have the same monitor and have tried everything :/
@@MrAchilles741 did you try what i did in the second section of my original comment?
OMG MAN thanks for that comment I have a vga27 model and this worked
If i do auto recommend it work but if i select hdmi it doesn't work

perfect auto correct lol
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
This video is still saving consoles and monitors 2 years later!
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
When I have auto-detect under display and allow variable refresh rate on it doesn’t let me use 1440p anymore
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?
Thank you video was very helpful and took my viewing experience to a whole new level the way it should be , Thanx 👍🏽
Glad it helped out :)
How Hdmi 2.0 or 2.1 must have for 1440p 120hz ?
2.0 is fine from what I have read all over the internet. If you want 4k at 120 hz then you need 2.1. If you want 1440 p at 120 then 2.0 cables should work. I have went to forums and scoured the internet to find a fix for my Lg monitor to play 120 fps at 1440 p but no luck yet. I know fir sure you gotta turn off freesync. Also I think you gotta update your monitor by hooking it up to a pc. More better if ur monitor has a usb port
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!

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
Thanks for your time … 💪💪💪 it worked for me
Dont you need a Hdmi cable thats 2.1 maximum 2m
It won’t let me when I click on video modes it only lets me click on allow YCC 4:2:2
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s all on brand at this point for me. My monitor puts out 1440p and up to 144hz. I can only do 1080 at 120 not 1440 at 120. So I’m assuming I can’t have both so I’ll just treat it like performance vs quality
We might have the same monitor lol
This video helped me out! Thank you ❤️ got a subscriber now.
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
Holy shit it fucking worked. I've racked my brain for MONTHS
"Most 120hz games don't hit 120fps" Seriously,... a console that advertises 4k. up to 120 isn't even hitting 120 in 2k.!? How the hell does that make sense!?
My issue is that when I DONT run HDMI, the option for 60hz and 120hz is completely gone. Thus making it impossible.
What do we do if the allow 4k isn’t showing highlighted
Thank you🙏 been trying so hard for no reason and now you helped me out!
I have to have my override set to HDMI or I don't get the option to have 120 hz. Bummer
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
It's keeps saying "out of range" I even bought a faster hdmi cable please somone help me
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!
So if I’m running 1440P 120Hz on my LG monitor with free sync turned off…. Is it better then having it turned on and only having 60Hz? I’m using Xbox series x fyi
I've got a 1440p 165hz monitor that works fine on my PC but it keeps doing the thing where it says the resolution is too high for 120hz even though it clearly isn't. Lowering the color depth to 8 bits didn't seem to do anything. :/
It lets me do 1440p 60hz with VRR and HDR though, so idk.
Try turning HDR off and see if that helps. Also you’ll have to double check your monitor. It may only allow 120 hz when using a specific input.
were you able to fix this problem? im going through the same thing

You can’t turn on refresh rate when you have on auto

Ps5 doesn’t support 1440 though, it upscales from 1080p to 1440 which sucks, they need to update that
@@ThreeFirstNames it work for me sorry for the late reply. Thank you again happy with the results.
Awesome. Thanks for the follow up :)
You’re getting 1440p @ 120 on the ps5? Does freesync work with the ps5?
So when I play on 1440 120 I change that on the left and then disable allow 4k for the best picture
When i set my Xbox to auto detect, i dont even have an option for choosing a refresh rate. i have to set it to hdmi overrides to set a refresh rate. But i cant do 120Hz above 1080p. When i switch to 1440p, it kicks me back to 60Hz. For reference, i have a Sceptre E275B-QPD168. Ive seen another TH-cam video where the guy tested this monitor with xbox series x, ps5, and pc, and the xbox was the only one to not work at 1440p 120Hz.

This is unacceptable from MS. They make all of these claims that these consoles will run 1440p at 120hz but it should have an asterisk. I am so mad I bought a series X and a gaming monitor for this. Such a waste.
Worked, very simple. Thank you sm
What monitor were you using?..
Video still works in October 2023 good stuff m8
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.
