TV: LG CX

This TV has been advertised as being able to do full 4:4:4 4K @ 120Hz as well as at 4K 120Hz @ YCbCr (4:2:0) (The latter of which I am trying to achieve now)
I have seen other people reporting that it works for them, and I have asked there as well, but haven't been able to get anything to work yet, so I'm hoping someone here may have an answer.

Currently I am able to use 4K @ 60Hz


- The first thing I tried was going to the NVidia Control Panel. The first attached screenshot shows that I can't even get PC resolutions in HD. When I scroll up to the TV section, however, it will let me use 2160p, but only @ 60Hz.



On another forum user I downloaded the CRU utility and set a custom resolution. These were the steps I followed


"Create a custom resolution via CRU - Custom Resolution Utility. Click "Add" under the 'extension blocks' area, and then in the new window click "Add" under 'data blocks' - you would want to create a "TV Resolution" with 4:2:0 checked (top right corner) at 3840x2160 120Hz."

I went through all of the steps for CRU and nothing changed.

From there I downloaded DDU (Driver Display Uninstaller) from this link https://www.wagnardsoft.com/

then reinstalled the latest drivers from Nvidia. Still nothing. What else can I do?


Currently I'm at 1920 x 1080 @ 120Hz, but I do not know if that's indicative of the set's ability to hit 120Hz @ 4K

afaik you need hdmi 2.1 to hit 4k120hz. No Current gpu are capable through hdmi.

I think you have to use Black Frame Insertion on that TV to technically do 120hz with current gen gpus

look into that not sure how that works.

Make sure you have disabled any TV modes on your TV, you might have to put the TV in "Game Mode" or something like that to get it to expose the 120Hz to the computer.

Also, check in your manual to make sure you don't have to connect the PC to a certain HDMI port on the TV to get 120Hz. On some TVs only one of the HDMI inputs does 4k 120Hz.

afaik you need hdmi 2.1 to hit 4k120hz. No Current gpu are capable through hdmi.

The 1080Ti is HDMI 2.0b, which can do 4k@120Hz 4:2:0 but not 4:4:4.

This is true for 4:4:4 , but it can be done at 4:2:0

BTW I got it to work. The instructions I was given for CRU only told me to add new resolutions. I didn't know I had to delete some existing ones.

I'm in the same situation but I tried adding custom 120hz resolution but didn't work. You have a link or suggestions?

To get 4K 120hz+ via the stupid HDMI you need HDMI 2.1 display, HDMI 2.1 cable and a GPU that has HDMI 2.1 support and port e.g. RTX 3000 and RX 6000 cards.
No using HDMI 2.1
