The thrill and joy a gamer feels when the graphics flow like water is something that cannot be measured, like who doesn’t want to play games at 120hz and more responsive gameplay with 120 frames per second (fps) on a PS5. As reported by users worldwide the console fails to deliver games in 120hz in few cases or the monitor is not able to achieve the full potential of the console and it is really frustrating , especially if you want to play games that support 120Hz mode, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Fortnite, or Devil May Cry 5.

Fortunately, there are some possible solutions to fix this issue and enable 120Hz on your PS5. Following are some quick and easy fixes:
- Set your PS5 to performance mode. Some PS5 games have different modes that prioritize either resolution or frame rate. To enable 120Hz on PS5, you need to choose the performance mode that favours higher fps over higher resolution. To do this, go to your PS5’s Settings menu, then select Saved Data and Game/App Settings. Under Game Presets, choose Performance Mode or Performance Mode Preference. This will make your PS5 run games at their highest possible frame rate, which can be up to 120fps for some games.
- Enable 120Hz output on your PS5. To make sure your PS5 can output 120Hz to your monitor, you need to enable this option in the Screen and Video settings. Go to your PS5’s Settings menu, then select Screen and Video. Scroll down to Enable 120Hz Output and switch it to Automatic. This will allow your PS5 to automatically detect and output 120Hz when possible. You can also check the Video Output Information to see if your PS5 supports 120Hz for the connected HDMI device.
- Disable HDCP on your PS5. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a feature that prevents unauthorized copying of digital content. However, it can also interfere with the 120Hz output on some monitors. To disable HDCP on your PS5, go to Settings, then select System. Under HDMI, turn off Enable HDCP. Note that this will disable some media apps that require HDCP, such as Netflix or YouTube. You can turn HDCP back on when you are not using 120Hz or playing any 120Hz games.
- Use an HDMI converter or DisplayPort adapter. If your monitor does not have an HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 2.1 port, which are required for 120Hz output at 1080p or 4K resolution respectively, you might need to use an HDMI converter or DisplayPort adapter to connect your PS5 to your monitor. These devices can convert the HDMI signal from your PS5 to a compatible signal for your monitor’s port. However, not all converters or adapters are guaranteed to work with 120Hz output, so you might need to do some research before buying one.
By following these steps, you should be able to fix the PS5 120Hz not working on monitor issue and enjoy smoother and more responsive gameplay with 120fps. However, keep in mind that not all PS5 games support 120Hz mode, and some might require you to change the in-game settings to enable it
