Question Advice on getting 120hz on Xbox

[RPJBFA]

My monitor has HDMI 1.4 (2.0 is needed for 120hz on Xbox). It supports up to 144hz, though. I read that you can still get 120hz with an hdmi to dvi adapter.

I got an adapter that supports hdmi 2.0 but If I select DVI output in the Xbox setting I don't get an option for 120hz. However, if I select HDMI I still get the same image but also an option of 120 hz. However, when I choose 120hz the colors get messed up.

What, I'm wondering is if it's possible the cables that come with X1X aren't true HDMI 2.0. If I should get a different 2.0 HDMI cable or if I should get this cable that someone confirmed supports 120hz through DVI.

You cannot get more than 1080p 60 Hz through an HDMI to DVI connection. Please see the pinned thread: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/how-to-connect-to-a-120-hz-display.3268285/

You should get a monitor that supports 120 Hz over HDMI directly. Alternatively, if your monitor has DisplayPort, there are HDMI to DisplayPort adapters available that support up to 1080p 120 Hz.

This is the weird thing. If I try to run 120hz through hdmi i get no signal. But using a dvi adapter, if I choose hdmi and 120hz I get an image that I can actually play with but it's just that the colors are off.

As for displayport adapter, the only one I could find is like a $150. At that point I can just buy an hdmi 2.0 monitor.

As for buying a new monitor. I'm planning on it but I'm waiting on hdmi 2.1 monitors.
