Help with HDR and refresh rate settings for series x

Hi,

It would seem so looking at this
link direct from Dolby. And I'm sure the same would apply to HDR 10 as well.

Since the series is designed to be a 1440P (2560x1440) console, it would be a little silly on Microsoft's part to not allow HDR on Series S/X on none 4K displays.

I'm still at a loss as to why they don't allow it now on Xbox One X. There's no technical reason for it's absence, HDR itself isn't reliant on a 4K resolution to function. The monitor I use for my PC is capable of HDR and it works fine at 1440P on my gaming
PC. My One X doesn't see though.

I'm pretty sure this will change with Series X/S with more and more players opting for gaming monitors with 120Hz refresh rates and freeSync support. 1440P monitors are very popular for cost and performance.

Unlikely, as there is no purposes in doing so. as no Xbox software renders above 60hz. Your monitor already scales and doubles to a fixed refresh rate anyway. If you want high refresh rates you need to use a pC or possibly waiting for Series X

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble with the refresh rate on your monitor is that correct. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the monitor and seeing if they have more information
about their products compatibility. Take a look at this helpful support article about how to set up your Xbox Ones display settings

Troubleshooting 4K and HDR on Xbox One X and Xbox One S.

Hope this helps

Since you didn't specify any constraints to what you're looking for (other than 4K/HDR support), I'll show you a general article that is a compilation of various 4K/HDR monitors to choose from: http://denwereview.com/best-hdr-gaming-monitor-xbox-one-x-ps4-pro-pc/

Some things to keep in mind:

• Games are currently capped to 60 FPS. You may not see any improvement on refresh rates higher than 60Hz.
• 1440p support was confirmed by Microsoft, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
• For 4K on the Xbox One X, the monitor must have at least HDMI 2.0 for input.
• The monitor needs to support the HDR10 profile to enable HDR on the Xbox One S/X.
• HDR quality varies between monitors; you want at least 350 nits if you want the "true HDR" experience.
• The Xbox One X supports "AMD FreeSync", which enables variable refresh rates. Only gaming monitors support this feature as of 2017.

Hi,

Unfortunately the Asus ROG Strix XG279Q is limited to 60Hz with HDR, it's a limitation of the monitor hardware. It will either be HDR on or off I'm afraid.

A lot of gaming monitors have quite poor HDR, with low peak brightness. The "HDR" feature on a lot of monitors is a selling point that customers expect to see, rather than it being actually good. Also this monitor has a lot more input lag at 60Hz with HDR
enabled.

I would drop HDR and enjoy 1440P at 120Hz as a better option. Making sure you also enable Variable Refresh Rate.

Hi,

thank you for your fast reply and your explanation. Where did you find this info?

As I just bought this monitor because I thought it is a very good choice for the new Series X and the RTX 3070 as well, I can still change it to another Monitor - do you have any better suggestion for 27" and the Series X?

Thank you,

Günther
