Don't have a PS5, but I enjoy your content and subbed anyway. Hopefully, it will come of use when I have a PS5 in 2037.
Thank you!
They'll restock once bots stop buying all of em

or come to romania, we have it in the stores. a bundle with a game or two. no overprice
Same here man 😭
I would like everyone to know that when you have completed all these changes, in the settings where you can see the 'video output information', it will not set to 4k 120hz unless you open a game. That game of course does need to be able to support 120hz. After you started a game and go back to the settings, it will have changed to 4k 120hz.
Yeah the only game I tested it with was Fortnite then deleted it immediately after. I don’t have any other games that can do 120hz.

Your videos will come in handy when I actually get my hands on one unit. Thanks a lot!
Hi John, as an IT pro and gamer I love seeing your videos with tips on systems that I wasn't aware of. Makes me gaming experience that much better, all thanks to you man.
I appreciate you & you're welcome 😊

"Every PS5 owner should know about this"

I have a 4k samsung that runs 60 @ 4k. Its 3 years old. Do yourself a huge favor and get something new
My tv is not even in 60hz so don't complain 😂
Im getting a ps5 and i watched all your vids so that im prepared,they're so short, informative and useful 👌keep it up
Thank you soo much for this! I've been using the wrong port for over a year and had no idea. Definitely going to start tuning into these Vida
Thanks man. Didn't check this until now. Now my PS5 runs in 120Hz 😁
Literally getting my PS5 today and I can finally start watching the PS5 tips videos.

Also, if you use a receiver, the HDMI port must be at least HDMI 2.0b compliant (circa 2017) to provide the necessary bandwidth for 4k120Hz. I have to bypass this by plugging the PS5 directly into the TV's HDMI 2.1 port, and using ARC passthrough for audio. The small downside is, without eARC, I am forced into Dolby audio (no Linear PCM surround.) It's a small price to pay in return for full bandwidth video quality, and a much smarter option than buying a new receiver if it isn't necessary.
4k 120hz without 2.1 and on HDMI? Not possible. Stop spreading false information.
@@a.k.4216 It's not "false information," it's a technical truth -- HDMI 2.0b is the oldest HDMI standard that could possibly allow a 4k120Hz resolution. I was simply presenting a baseline for informative/troubleshooting purposes; if anyone is having trouble getting their PS5 to output at 4k120, and their receiver is more than 5 years old, then it could be the culprit.
@@ericiidx yea I have to use a receiver to get 120fps and I can’t use Spotify or anything because I’ve to adjust settings
I'll have to look into mine since I got it around that time, really hope I won't have to invest in a new receiver AND a new TV just for better quality.
Great guide. Helped me wonderfully.
I didn't even realize about this, thanks, John! My monitor supports 144hz, but I didn't think about this lol.
You are welcome 🙂
@@JohnGlasscock :D I can't wait for more videos, keep up the great work!
Hey! I’m not tech savvy, but I have a 144hz monitor as well, will this 120hz mode benefit me? It’s not a 4K - do I need 4K?
@@GrimmHollywood yeah this will benefit you if you have a 144hrz. It dosnt matter if your monitor/tv is 4k or not for this!
One thing that is worth mentioning is that when I couldn’t see 120 as an option via my x90j I realised that the enhanced format (Dolby vision) option does not currently allow 120. At least on my tv it doesn’t. So just choose enhanced format (the option above)
I have an x90 too but the last model before they updated to include the higher refresh. Bought it and the new one came out after the return period. FML
Im not entirely sure but i believe only lg tvs support dolby vision 120hz atm
@Joe L sorry but I have an XH90 Sony with last update included, what option I have to choose? After the update I have chosen the last option (VRR), who is the better ?

@@alessandrosiciliano2480 hmm because the new VRR option I’ve heard can be a bit dodgy I would maybe choose the ‘enhanced format’ mode without Dolby or vrr, might be the safest bet to hit 120 without any issues
THANK YOU!! The setting in my options really made it work
simple and straight forward, thank you very much!
I got the 89J (basically 85J) last month and really enjoying it. Yes viewing angles aren't the best but when you sit straight in front of it it's an amazing view. Smooth image and no stutter/blur at 120fps either.
In fact none TVs is good with viewing angles unfortunately
Always happy to hear info from your vids but i personally prefer the higher resolutions as long as i have stable frames..... if not too stable then ill happily play at 120fps
I've been wondering for awhile how to do this and luckily I have the same TV so this was incredibly helpful thanks
Man I was loosing my mind until you showed the setting on tv for VRR thank you!!! 2023 is gonna be lit
Dude John I’ve been subscribed for almost 4 years and it’s crazy how far you’ve gotten. I also remembered when you live streamed black ops 3 years ago. Those we’re great times😭😭
Wow, thank you for sticking around! Yes those were great times 😌😊

I’m thankful I caved and bought a LG CX with my PS5 a while back. What a beautiful combo. HDMI 2.1 is a must going forward. If you don’t care to spend some money then get a TV or monitor that has HDMI 2.1.

Does a high-speed HDMI cable come with the PS5 in the box at purchase?
Yes
Yup 👍
You just gotta make sure your TV HDMI is set to Enhanced settings.
But you should also double check to see does your TV have 120Hz, cause most 4K TV's does not have 120Hz, most only have 60Hz at the moment.
I have to be honest, I really would have thought that it would be obvious to lug the HDMI into the 120hz plug, it was a big thing in marketing when it launched, I even made a list of best TVs for PS5 which had some that featured HDMI 2.1
Where can I see the list

@@saeedalkubaish4709 yes but there's no 4k 120fps games on ps5.. overall image quality is much more important than hdmi 2.1
Had no idea, thank you!
Followed your instructions step-by-step, and it worked great. At first, only showed 60hz, but after adjusting the TV settings per your instructions...... whaaa laaa. Now it shows 120hz. Thank you very much
What tv do you have
Great video! Straight to the point……. But my question is in gaining 120htz what will you lose? I hear in gaining 120htz you dip in frame rate “if I’m not mistaken” and how many games are really taking advantage of it all while maintaining everything else…
You actually gain fps by playing in 120 Hz. That is the entire point. 120 Hz = 120 FPS. Now, playing in 4K usually lowers your FPS. Locks at either 30 or 60 FPS depending on the game.
If you play 120hz your resolution drops to full HD, if you want to play in 4k you will be capped at 60hz...every CZcamsr seems to forget about the fact, that the ps5 is not powerful enough to output 120hz/4k... even if "hdmi 2.1" say so...you don't really need a 2.1 screen though
@@ksj4life169 I’ve been thinking the same thing…… some actually do miss the mark when talking about this and it’s very important to know what these consoles cap at or what your losing when your trying to gain something… 4k 60fps is actually perfect and if you have a tv that supports what you need perfectly then things should be good… especially with bonuses like ALLM, Dolby atmos, HDR, VRR….I’m not even sure if you can even get these bonuses all at once while gaming 4k 60fps lol
@@asylum1166 mine says at least HDR active and my headset is set on Dolby Atmos. If it's not putting out Dolby Atmos I wouldn't hear a thing...
But yeah, they all forget that and promote people to buy X television because it got hdmi 2.1 and what not...and it's only 2k...when in reality they only need a 800€ TV wich can support all the ps5 is capable of...
@@ksj4life169 these new and high end tv’s have some amazing features especially if you have a OLED panel tv but what sucks is these consoles are not powerful enough to take full advantage everything these TVs especially higher end TVs can truly do but the consumer should understand the CAPABILITIES are there but the console itself has a ceiling regardless of what your tv can do.. and people also have to factor in the game developers they have a cap as well according to what they have to work with also…. I’ve come to realize us consumers are never satisfied we always want more but then complain if and when it’s time to open that wallet lol imagine if Sony and Microsoft said you know what, we are going to put everting into these consoles out the box including 2tb of ssd storage at the cost of $2000…. People would shit there pants… but we want everything at $499 lol
I’m on a new Samsung 75” and it runs smoothly paired with PS5; however, I don’t know how to confirm when it’s running at 120hz.
75 screen with 120hz? Must be expensive
When you press info on your tv remote, doesn't it tell you the video information? I have a pretty cheap Samsung tv but it tells me if the video is HD/UHD, HDR , and what the FPS the HDMI source is using.
When playing a game on PS5 that’s is running 120HZ during gameplay long press the PS button on you’re controller go to settings and then display settings click display information and it will tell you at the top what refresh rate the TV is running
75 in. yeah most likely you only got a 60 refresh rate unless you spent over 1,500 dollars onthat tv
@@Enjoylifeweonlygotone Well, the latest firmware states that 120Hz is enabled.
Thanks alot for this, i got the same tv but didnt know i had to select the enchanced external output for it to optimally work
Thank you bro, currently waiting on my X85J 50 inch to be delivered, can't wait to hook the PS5 up and see the world of difference 🙌
Any update on your gaming experience on the new setup?
Bro I've done everything you said, I have the Sony bravia A80J oled and I've changed to enhanced on the TV. Enabled it on the ps. I've got it in the right slot (hdmi 4) but when I go on video output information it still reads resolution 3840 x 2160 - 60Hz. What am I doing wrong?
you need to open a game, which supports 120hz, after which it will show 4k 120 hz in the settings
@@jostephan7224 No it wont. No PS5 games run at 4k120. Neither the Ps5 or XSX can run games at that speed in 4k, they're not powerful enough. HDMI 2.1 isn't needed at all since HDMI 2.0 can do 1440p@120 and 4k@60 which is the very maximum of the PS5 and XSX capability.
@@Foetoid2k6 ....have you even watched the video? It's literally for getting your ps5 to display 4k at 120hz. (3840 x 2160 is 4k fyi) a 1440p display is afaik a pc monitor display, not a TV screen. Just do a quick google on '4k 120hz/fps ps5 games' and alot of games can do it (and that number is growing). Also the xbox series x supports it. It's one of if not the best reason to get a ps5/xbox series X besides the ssd. Have u been living under a rock or are you just in denial? :'D
@@jostephan7224 I did the google. 100% of Ps5 games that are running at 120fps are at a lower resolution than 4K. This video explains the settings needed to allow your Ps5 console to display at 4k120 of course, but it’s the games themselves that dictate the resolution and frame rate, and no single Ps5 game runs at 4K and 120fps at the same time. You should watch the Digital Foundry breakdowns of performance vs quality modes on the new consoles, they all show that games running at 4K never go higher than 60fps, the consoles just arent powerful enough. It was a marketting ploy by Sony and MS that you fell for.
@@Foetoid2k6 I'm well aware most ps5 games are capped at 60 fps to display 4k still. That being said however, saying that there are no games able on PS5 to display 4k 120 fps is wrong. Albeit they aren't tripple A rated games like Call of Duty of Battlefield, certain indy games are able to do what is advertised (e.g. Quake and knockout city). If your argument against those will be 'but those aren't graphically heavy with lots of extra features like ray tracing' I understand. My point is, even though your assumption being that the advertising is somewhat misleading from sony, its still a feat nonetheless that we're able to expierence so much for relatively little. Maybe the PS5 pro in the future gets a little more fps on bigger games ;)
Hey John, my friend had bought a 144hz monitor (ASUS VG248QE) before getting a PS5, and his monitor was not running 120hz on PS5.

Thanks pal this really helped
One very important thing to remember when buying a monitor that has support for 120hz or more is that the HDMI ports needs to be HDMI 2.1 in order for you to get 120hz on PS5
No it doesn’t HDMI 2.0 supports up to 1440p/120hz or 4K/60hz
Like the guy above me said, all you need is hdmi 2.0 for 1080p 120fps.
you're so wrong Tom
That's a fu**ing lie Tom. 2.1 hdmi is only required for 4K 120hz, not regular 120hz. Delete your comment
Ye no
Remember when you just turned on a consolle, insert the cartridge and PLAY?
THOSE WERE THE DAYS
I just turn on the PS5 and the game is already running...I'm thinking that's better.🤭
Thank you so much, My fortnite was capped on 60fps, even though I had the same TV as you. But you fixed the problem for me! And it is on 120 now!
Thank you John. I just brought a 65" Lg C1. Such a huge difference from ky old 1080p.
Imagine buying top tier tech and not knowing how to use it
In the end, I went with 49" QLED HDR 4k 60Hz TV, after I made the purchase I have found out that these models come with 120Hz option from 55" and beyond, but after some research, I see that on 120hz in 4k you loose some of the details in your games etc., and I wouldn't really use 120hz feature TBH on PS5, apart from fast paced multiplayer games. 90% of my gaming on PS5 is singleplayer games. I saved quite a bit of cash, and I heard that most of the game releases on PS5 platform will be aimed for 4K60fps, but maybe I should future proof myself for PS5 Pro, will see
thank you! very useful info & guide
Thanks a lot! Just got a 4k to for Christmas so I will check if I have to do this or not.
Thank you very much :)
