[@TheMentalMKE]

@@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!

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

[@RetroRampage]

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.

@@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.

[@rock98340]

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?

[@ZATlVA]

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?

[@TheMentalMKE]

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 KZbin 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.

[@ChringyTechTalk]

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! 🤣

[@ZATlVA]

@@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

[@TheMentalMKE]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@ChringyTechTalk]

Might be because of the Xbox issue with HDR at 1440P.

[@COINN3ACH]

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?

[@SoloSurvior]

Have you got it working yet? I ordered the exact monitor but the 32inch

[@jordanwade7445]

I also have same monitor how did you do this bro?

[@laresclub4032]

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?

Make sure you have VRR turned on within the monitor first (in this OSD settings), then do a full shutdown using the general settings on Xbox.

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 ?

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!

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

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.
