Is it possible to get 120hz on xbox one with XL2430T Monitor?

[Rhyseee]

you can get 144hz with Dual Link DVI but xbox one doesnt support DVI to DVI doesnt have the input...woould a converter work hdmi to dvi? or am i stuck? surely HDMI can give 120hz? or is my monitor old or somthing?

The XBox One is locked at 60Hz max. You can get an adapter, possibly, and use the monitor's DVI connector, but you won't get a faster speed out of it. (so why not stick with HDMI?) It's all because a TV was and is the monitor of choice for game systems: Microsoft designed it that way.

There are a few issues. One is that a converter would probably not work. Two is that the XBOXOne can't output 120Hz to the monitor. Three is that most games on the XBoxOne don't run at 120fps to use 120Hz. Four is that monitor is not a freesync.

MS launched an update a few months ago which allows 120hz through HDMI is the reason why im asking because they made it posible

It doesn't matter, if the signal source can't go that high. It takes the GPU to be able to put out a 120Hz refresh AND the monitor to support the 120Hz refresh in order to have 120Hz refresh, otherwise it works at the fastest speed that the specific hardware can use. In this case, 30Hz or 60Hz, depending on the game.

You can get 1080p 120 Hz using an HDMI to DisplayPort converter. See section 3.4 here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3675170/connect-120-display-construction.html

The HDMI port on that monitor is limited to 60 Hz at 1080p, and there are no adapters for converting HDMI to Dual-Link DVI, so you need to convert to DisplayPort.

The converter will need to support the desired speed and convert the frame rate to it. Otherwise its just a waste of money. You can't find an inexpensive one that will do that... and those that can do some kind of frame rate conversion start around $300 USD and more. Furthermore, I haven't seen one on the market that went past 60hz (60 FPS).

Your link, by the way, doesn't cover frame rate conversion. So its implied the incoming signal is already capable of 120Hz/120FPS.


The XBox itself won't put out any faster than 60Hz... even if conversion works, you'll still have the video response time of a 60Hz/60FPS signal.

Yes, that is correct.

It will now.

Now that is a pleasant surprise for those who hook something other than a TV up as a monitor. It would also suggest that the HDMI standard/version they're using now will also support it.
