Thanks again!
Even I can follow all that!

We’re talking about 1080p at 120Hz here, so there shouldn't be any real bottlenecks. You'll have to plug it in via HDMI (since the Xbox doesn't have a DisplayPort), and G-Sync/VRR should kick in just fine.

As for the monitor itself, that 240Hz refresh rate won't do you any good since the Xbox caps out at 120.

Thanks, @wiredotter14/">@@wiredotter14.
Since the kid is currently stuck using a 60Hz monitor, I'm figuring 120Hz is basically the ceiling for what he'll actually see, so we might look for something a bit more budget-friendly.
Could someone break down what "G-Sync/VRR should work" actually means, and also what "Xbox doesn't have DP" implies?
Much appreciated.

Need some advice here. My kid is looking to pick up a monitor that can actually handle 120Hz on his PlayStation 5. But he stumbled onto some info online saying just seeing "120Hz" on the spec sheet isn't enough—apparently, there are other technical hoops the monitor has to jump through, and he needs to do some digging before dropping any cash.
He’s currently eyeing this "monitor Dell 27"
—it's listed as a VA, gaming, G-Sync, 240Hz setup with 2xHDMI, DP, 1500R Curved, Full HD.
So, how do I actually verify if a specific monitor will play nice with 120Hz on a PlayStation 5?

Thanks.
