The exact frame rate and resolution options available to you in the Series X menus will depend, of course, on the capability of your TV. If you have a model with a true HDMI 2. The 4K TV Details screen is usually helpful in figuring out what your TV can do regarding resolution and refresh rate.
Right, time to take deep breath and make a large coffee, because we're now delving into the Xbox's Video Modes menu, and there's a lot going on here.
