Hi everyone!!
I hope everyone is doing well. I bought a monitor that supports 1440p 170hz. When i enable 120hz 1440p on my xbox it sets the resolution down to 1080p. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

Thank you so much

There’s an option somewhere in the video settings of the Xbox to enable 120 Hz I believe it’s in the video settings somewhere

@boreal cliff it's an incompatibility issue between vesa display timings and the Xbox output. 1440p120 is considered non standard by the monitor. In the manual it does state it's compatible but this would be with a PC. The Xbox reads the supported modes from the EDID at the monitor and then let's you select what mode you want. This is probably by design to make the experience smoother/ easier for users. You could try forcing the setting on the Xbox but I suspect you'll get no picture if you do (if that happens, just wait 30 seconds and it should revert, if not, there's a way to reset display settings without a video signal).

So in short, you're probably stuck with these 2 resolutions and refresh rates until you change the monitor. But please don't ask which one you'll need, you'll have to do your own research.
