Can't change refresh rate -> Samsung Odyssey G7 4k 144hz -LS28BG700EWXXL

[srinivasr479]

Hi all,

I recently purchased Samsung Odyssey G7 Monitor - LS28BG700EWXXL .

Can someone help me understand how to get the monitor to operate at 144Hz refresh rate?

I have a PS5 connected but I am not able to get the monitor to run at 120 HZ over HDMI 2.1. On the PS5 settings I do see that the maximum available frequency it can run on is 120 Hz so there is no issue with the HDMI 2.1 Cable.

On the gamebar I see that the FPS stay fixed at 60 fps.

Firmware Version installed - 1651.

Can someone really help out here?

Thanks & Regards,

@srinivasr479: 120hz is only available on titles that support it. If you check the in-game settings, a 120hz mode will be visible on supported titles. In the PS5 menu, head to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > 120Hz Output > Automatic, and this will automatically enable 120Hz on supported titles.

144Hz, as far as I am aware, is not available on the PS5, and would only be possible on a compatible PC.

Not all games support 120hz, if they do you will see the option to select 120hz. I hope this helps 🙏

Hi Andrew and TechZilla

Thank you for your response! Indeed 120Hz is supported on particular titles alone!
Found it by using the Balanced / HFR Graphic Settings in Hogwarts Legacy.

Thanks & Regards,
