How To Enable and Turn On Variable Refresh Rate on Sony TVs

  • Go to Sony’s website and check the specifications for your TV model under “Connectivity” > “Features specified in HDMI 2.1”. If “VRR” is listed, your TV supports it.
  • Supported models include Z9J, X90J, X91J, X95J, A90J series and newer models.

Update your TV software

  • Ensure your Sony TV is updated to the latest software version. VRR may be enabled via a software update.
  • Go to Settings > System > System software update on your TV.

Enable Enhanced format for the HDMI input

  • On your TV remote, press the Home button.
  • Go to Settings > External inputs > HDMI signal format.
  • Set the HDMI port connected to your gaming device to Enhanced format.

Turn on VRR for the input

  • While on the same HDMI signal format settings screen, select VRR mode > On for the HDMI input your gaming device is connected to.

On your gaming device

  • On your PS5/Xbox, go into settings and turn on VRR support as well.
