Des2ny @ 120hz (Destiny)

I messed with it but I needed to give up 4K HDR with my setup and I didn't think the gains were worth the cost.

Can you do 1080 HDR, or does 120hz mode turn off HDR entirely?

It’s tricky. The Xbox only enables HDR with the 4K mode. There is a 1440p monitor (Don’t remember which) that will accept a 4K signal and downscale it to 1440p to give you HDR. Apparently the HDR implementation on that monitor isn’t great, though.

Unless you get a new 4K TV with 120hz, you sort of have to pick resolution and HDR or 120hz mode.

I disagree that it’s not worth it, though. I play the entire game on a 1440 27” monitor, that I bought specifically to play games that support 120hz. It’s right next to my 4K tv, so I’ve switched back and forth quite a bit, and the frame rate is definitely worth it. It might be a tougher decision if Destiny’s HDR implementation was better.
