Q: how do i get it to 165hz it says it only goes up to 120

A: It can only go to 144hz on an hdmi cable. You’ll need a DisplayPort cable to go to 165hz

Q: Does it have built in speakers with the Monitor.

A: NO. I didn't think to check for that before I bought it and found out upon setting it up yesterday. Now I have to buy speakers but, after checking a few other curved gaming monitors, I realized not many actually do come with built-in speakers.

Q: Does it work with an Xbox Series X? Plz explain if not.

A: Yes it works but only up to 120hz at 1080p.

Q: Is this Monitor HDMI 2.1 or 2.0 I want to buy this for my birthday Some one answer this fast

A: There are no 2.1 hdmi monitors on the market so it can’t be hdmi 2.1
