Sure so the reason the monitor can do 144 hz on a PC but not by using the PC, is due to the reported modes, you should be able to check these when conencted to a PC if you have a nvidia pc is by exporting the modes here ( https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2867/~/how-do-i-capture-the-edid-of-my-display? ) , or if you want a stand alone tool you can use this (  https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dump_edid.html  ) this is mainly used by TV's to broadcast what its capable of. If you run the tool you should get a modes table like so

Supported Display Modes  : 
640 X  480  60 Hz
640 X  480  72 Hz
 640 X  480  75 Hz
800 X  600  60 Hz
800 X  600  72 Hz
800 X  600  75 Hz
1024 X  768  60 Hz
1024 X  768  70 Hz
1024 X  768  75 Hz
1280 X 1024  75 Hz
1920 X 1080  60 Hz        

Many monitors either dont implment the full range of EDID's as they are generally expected to be connected to a PC, Or implent all the modes but dont have the correct timings exactly to what the console is looking for. Its not till the PS5 and XSX that something which isnt user configurable was able to push out 120hz so its never been an issue before. Many PC's can just override the EDID and run the display at whatever, sometimes working sometime not , for example the custom resoultion thing within the nvidia control pannel where you just put the res / refresh of the monitor

New monitors are shipping with this metadata though, which is why it works on some an not others. EDID dongles just inject a response saying the monitor is able to do the res, PS5 reads it, and then enables the rate

@Seth_ie
 Wait ive just noticed this in the reviews
Against: You need to purchase a specific display resolution. I suppose that this keeps the unit more compact, but it would be handy to be able to select a resolution using something such as a dip-switch.

Its not the 768 one, you may need to buy either the 1080 or the 4k one but its not clear which it is im afraid

Leostat

Im not sure, you could try the 1080 and then if that one doesnt work return and swap for the 4k, I hate how the amazon reviews dont actully show the dongle people bought!

Leostat

Im just going by the comments on the  reviews, some seem to suggest the 4k one is needed but as you said that doesnt make sense the 1080p one may work but its hard to tell as i dont have a 120hz monitor to check, (If acer want to send one then id be happy to though )

Leostat

No not nativly, others have suggested that it works with an extra dongle though (  https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/klx77m/limited_refresh_rate_60_hz_on_ps5_xv240y_pbmiiprx/  ) 

Seth_ie

thank you for your answer, 
I looked at your link and if 
I understood correctly 
I need an Edid Emulator 
so that my xv240yp screen
 can reach 120 fps on ps5.

Leostat

Correct sounds like it im afraid!

Seth_ie

I don't know at all how it works-can you give me some information? thank you very much 😀

Seth_ie

thank you very much that's kind of you.
 So I understood your message correctly.
 I have one last little information to 
ask you after I leave you alone;) 
Can you show me what I need for my 
screen because I do not know too much 
and I would like to be sure of my 
purchase. Do you have a reference 
for me because I have the impression 
that you are very very strong: ') 
Thank you very much and again sorry to
bother you.

Its no bother ! I like helping out. I dont have a recomendation for one over another, one one linked above and ( https://amzn.to/2P8XTx6 ) claim to be able to do this. My recomendation is to read the comments, and check which ones people say work

Seth_ie

hello again: ') I have looked at
 your proposal and the comments seem
 rather positive to me. I therefore 
intend to buy this 
(https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B07YMKXD
G1/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8),
 but I just wanted to know if the
 mention "720p" is normal (I want to 
play in 1080p 120fps), sorry I really 
do not know myself: ') and this 
therefore plugs directly into the ps5? 
Thank you for your answers, it's very 
pleasant 

Seth_ie

"768p" no "720" sorry 🙂

Leostat

I think  thats just the default its outputting if it doenst have a edid rather than the max, amzon has great returns if it doesnt work though

If it does please reply and then we will know for the future  

Seth_ie

I see  So I'm thinking of buying this
(https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B07YMS18T7
/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&
psc=1) hoping it works, the returns are 
pretty much good. You have helped me a 
lot and if it doesn't work I thank you all the same . I would like to ask you one last thing, do you know where I can find information for the installation of this object? 
Thank you again for everything I 
think after that it will be good: ')

Seth_ie

And if I summarize, by buying this I 
should be able to have the 120fps on 
my monitor acer nitro xv240ypb 🙂

Leostat

Instaltion is you just plug it in! It gets everything you need from the HDMI connection, so just stick it in the monitor it it should *just work* (Fingers crossed for you!)

Well after that, set the performance mode in the settings, and you may need to enable it in the game as well

Seth_ie

Should 1080p be fine? or that is not 
enough for me to get the 120fps. 
I watched some videos on youtube and 
that seems to be enough for them 😶

Leostat

Im not sure, you could try the 1080 and then if that one doesnt work return and swap for the 4k, I hate how the amazon reviews dont actully show the dongle people bought!

Seth_ie

why would i need 4K when i want to 
play 1080p? .. So you would advise me 
to buy 4K directly? 🙁

Leostat

Im just going by the comments on the  reviews, some seem to suggest the 4k one is needed but as you said that doesnt make sense the 1080p one may work but its hard to tell as i dont have a 120hz monitor to check, (If acer want to send one then id be happy to though )

Seth_ie

you are really very kind  it is true 
that I am a little lost because a lot 
of people have my model but nobody has 
an answer for these famous 120fps .. 
I look everywhere and I think the 4K 
can work but I can't be sure. If only 
someone could fix this problem on this 
monitor; ') I contacted several people 
before you but none had a solution for 
me. With you I think I have a lead :')
