120 Hz HDR on Xbox Series S/X Tutorial-Consistent High Frame Rate

[@cxmbooo]

Note: the Xbox series s comes with a hdmi 2.0 cable so if u want to game at 4K 120 FPS u can pick up a hdmi 2.1 cable at Best Buy or GameStop the Xbox series x comes with a hdmi2.1 and ps5

thanks for this. I fixed my issues. I just wasn't able to run 120hz. only a 50 inch LG tv and not as fancy as your model but again, appreciate the video. It worked!

[@khalidou3332]

what LG model do you have and how's your experience so far with 120fps? I need details please it would be very helpful.

[@UnwantedAdvicex]

I think it's simply impossible to do 120hz and HDR at the same time on XB1X because you are forced to "allow 4k" for HDR to work and this means it goes to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. If you don't allow 4k, it goes to 4:2:2 which is not the standard for HDR and that's why HDR doesn't work. Not a bandwidth issue. Your monitor should be capable of 1440p, HDR, 120hz, Freesync all at once I think, but because the Xbox forces HDR at 4:2:2 you can't have a lower resolution like 1440p. Hopefully, the Series X will not have this problem and we can do 120hz and HDR together through HDMI

[@goldiedan5567]

It's a software issue. Microsoft is just too lazy to fix it, I guess.

[@paulparsons5431]

@@goldiedan5567 Xbox One X should be able to do 4K HDR it has to be your TV. Bring up your Tv menu while your on your HDMI that your Xbox is connected to. You should have a HDMI format option of some kind there. You should have an option to change. Change to it then go back to Xbox and the HDR for Gaming should work then HDR and 4K should work at the same time. I could do it on a Xbox One S.

So I’m thinking of getting a 1080p hdr 144hz monitor for my series s, and I heard somewhere that for 1080p 120hz you only need hdmi 2.0 and 2.1 is only if you want 4K 120hz. Another problem I have with the series s is that you can’t go 1080p HDR 120hz you have to do 4K to get hdr which I would not be able to do 4K with the 120hz. But it allows 4K hdr 60.

[@djejpro]

have you tried doing custom resolution @1080p, then go back and check "allow 4K"? i don't know if this works, but that's a similar workflow to let's say a roku ultra if it works. roku by default only allows hdr with 4k unless you go a bit deeper in the settings. i was just wondering if it's similar (i have yet to get a new 4k hdr capable tv and try this)..

[@shrek2804]

@@djejpro thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely try that and most likely get the monitor either way, just because I think losing the HDR for the small amount of games that will have 120fps is worth it.

[@alivenumber5]

For the Series S a game will usually internally render at a lower resolution such as 1440p or 1080p and then upscale the image before sending it to your TV at 4K @ 120 10bits per color channel rgb. But generally the game has to handle the frame pacing properly. An example of this being done correctly is Gears 5. An example of it done incorrectly is Halo Infinite. Halo infinite breaks VRR and also renders internally at such a low resolution that it looks pretty bad at 120fps. But the series S handles Infinite at 4k@60 HDR + VRR very well. Gears 5 is the other side of the coin. It looks so very good and performs so well on the Series S. I questioned my decision to get a Series S until I saw how good it looks. No regrets and I’ll probably use the money on Gamepass for the next year or two.

[@bigrik7923]

Thanks this might sound like a stupid question but how did you bring up the screen showing what your monitor is displaying when you showed its performing at 120fps ? 🤔
