  • Nope. The display isn't actually capable of doing 4k 120hz because there's a cap at 40 GB speed on their 2.1 ports. 4k 120hz requires 48GB. Also I believe the label can only handle 10-bit, even though true 4k 120hz is displayed at 12-bit.
  • You don't need 48gbps for 4K 120Hz at 10 bit - the Xbox Series X hardware can only output max 40gpbs, anyway. That's enough for 4K 120 10 bit 4:4:4, which is more than enough for the console.
  • This, I do 4k 120 on my CX.
  • Great deal on this Razer controller. I've been eyeballing it for a while. https://www.windowscentral.com/e?link=https2F2Flink...
  • If Best Buy matches the Elite sale for Black Friday, I might consider it. I won't get one without an extended warranty, and I'd much rather have the ability to do a repair/replace in a BB store than having to ship it to MS and fight with their inconsistent, online service reps.
