“I recently purchased this tv but the refresh rate shows 60HZ with the input. Does this tv only support the higher 144HZ for gaming consoles?”

Its supports up to 144hz on all resolutions for any device compatible for 144hz. Aka mostly only pc's... xbox x (not the s) and ps5 can utilize higher than 60fps/hz tv's but i have yet to see a single game hit anywhere near even 120hz, even with the performance mode setting selected (usually sets game res to 2k though when doing that... and the max i see on most ps5 games is around 75-85fps. I have yet to see a single game above 100fps) However you need to properly enable high refresh rates for the tv to be able to utilize it. First you need to enable "high refresh rate mode" from your tv's settings under the picture settings. Its located right under amd freesync. You also need to enable the "enhanced hdmi" mode for the input hdmi tv port you are plugging into under the input settings menu on the tv. Enhanced hdmi can only be enabled on ports 3 and 4. You need to select the "enhanced hdmi 120/240hz" option. Inputs 1 and 2 also display a enahnced hdmi mode as well but lack the "120/240hz" text. Thats because again those ports dont support the higher refresh rates. Those enhanced hdmi modes are meant more for things like enabling variable resfresh rate, hdr/dolby vision along with hdmi audio at the same time. If you dont enable enahnced on those slower inputs, usually you cant run all those things at the same time. If you try, your audio will be stupidly distorted and things like dolby vision and vrr wont work very well if you can even use them at all. Once you do this, your pc should now show the option to set your refresh rate on the pc to higher than 60hz/fps Also your ps5/xbox x should also show that greater than 60fps is now available under the settings menu usually located under a setting called tv/display capabilities. You can do either 120hz OR 144hz under all resolutions....YOU CAN ADDTIONALLLY SET THE TV TO 240HZ UNDER 1080P AS WELL!!! They dont really advertise that at all on this set. It just lists its specs as a 144hz tv. But it indeed works at 240hz on 1080p. HOWEVER!!!! If you do go with 240hz on 1080p, YOU CANNOT USE VRR/AMD FREESYNC....you technically can use it, but the picture becomes a mess and colors get displayed extremely poorly and there is TONS OF LAG. Its a bug with how hisense setup this tv. No way to fix it. It is supposed to work. But it just doesnt. So dont even try it. 240hz however works just fine without vrr enabled. Once you do that you should be golden. Also, you need to make sure, on your pc, that your gpu is capable of those refresh rates...and that it also has hdmi ports spec'd at hdmi 2.1 minimum. That means a nvidia rtx 3000 series gpu or higher. The rtx 2009 series and lower only has hdmi 2.0b ports, which only supoorts 144hz at 2k. At 4k it only goes to 120hz. Also on hdmi 2.0b, if going at 144hz at 2k, or 120hz at 4k, you cant enable hdr at the same time other your sound stops working. A workaround is using a bluetooth earbud or headphones however.... A workaround for this though is buying a displayport 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 adapter. I got one on amazon from cable matters. I just searched for a 8k display port to hdmi cable. Its about 29 bucks right now. With that plugged into my rtx 2060 nvidia gpu, i can finally do 4k at 144hz/fps along with using hdr AND VRR/amd freesync AND the sound quality is still there and doesnt get distorted. These cables actually say that they dont work with vrr but they actually do. You just need to enable it in nvidia control panel under the g sync options. Once you do that, variable resfrsh rate/amd freesync works just fine. Also if using amd freesync/vrr, make sure to enable that option in the tv pciture settings first. Then on the computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You must use a high quality HDMI cable that supports those resolutions.
