*PS5 currently supports VRR functionality only through the HDMI 2.1 port.

At the moment, the XL2586X and XL2586X+ are equipped with HDMI 2.1 and support VRR functionality on the PS5.

1) Make sure to enable the Adaptiv-Sync / Freesync Premium function through the monitor menu.

2) Restart your console.

3) Go to "TV; display options" under "General".

4) Go to "Video modes" under "Advanced".

5) Check the option “Allow variable refresh rate”.


*Since the  “Overrides”  setting is not compatible with  “Allow variable refresh rate” , please make sure the option of  “Overrides”  in  “Display”  under  “Video fidelity & overscan” is selected on “Auto-detect (Recommended)”


*When turning on the Adaptive-Sync / Freesync Premium, please turn off DyAc/DyAc+ (if your monitor has that feature) through the monitor menu, since DyAc/DyAc+/DyAc 2  is not compatible with variable fresh rate technology.

Please refer to the Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) models listed below
