Hi there! So I've searched the forum but I didn't see anything that was exactly the issue I'm having (possible I missed it). Let's get into it: THE ISSUE I have the TV listed in the title that I'm using as my one and only monitor. The picture and Image are AMAZING when using the " Ultra HD, HD, SD " category in NVIDIA Control Panel (NCP). However, the refresh rate only goes up to 60hz in this section. Scrolling down to the " PC " Section I can select the native resolution (3840x2160) and 120hz (which is the refresh rate of the panel). The problem is that when I select 4k 120hz under PC the text and image quality is VERY crunchy and .. not impossible to read but.. not easy to read either. WHAT I'VE TRIED The TV has several options for different input setting like "enhanced format" and "VRR". I've tried several different settings and picture modes through the TV and combined those different settings with different settings on my computer as well. Like: HDR, 10bpc, 12bpc, RGB, YCbCr444/422/420, High Performance Mode in power settings - Ultimate Power Mode as well. I've used DDU and did a clean install of drivers and even tried the "make text clearer" in a desperate attempt. I've tried custom resolutions and timings. SYSTEM SPECS OS: Windows 11 Pro (64bit) - Also Activated (looking at you Linus ) PC: CPU - Intel i9 - 10900k GPU - Invidia RTX 3090 FE MOBO - MSI Z590 Gaming Edge Wifi (Unsure of BIOS) PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 100W G5 Gold RAM - G.SKILL Trident Z Royal RBG DDR4 3600MHz (64G) CONNECTION: Rocketfish 8k 4ft HDMI 2.1 Cable - capable of 48Gbps. (Rated for 4k 120 or 8k 60) -- Connected from GPU to TV BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME It would be nice if there is a solution that allows me to have the absolute clarity and crystal clear quality of the HD section of NCP while still having the 120hz refresh of the PC section. I appreciate any and all help!

It seems the TV PC board might struggle to handle the panel's demands at full capacity.

Runs smoothly at 4K with 120Hz on both Xbox and PS5. Possible issue might be a TV firmware restriction, preventing full 120Hz performance despite being available in the UHD menu.

The X85J appears to face problems with 4K at 120 Hz. Vertical resolution is halved and then interpolated in that setting. This behavior matches what users on Reddit have observed for the X85K as well.

Wow, that's quite let down. Given the investment in a 4K, 120Hz panel, I expected better performance. It seems I might need to return it and search for a suitable alternative. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
