4k HDR resolution option not allowed on XBox One S

You'll be able to set the output of the Xbox One X to 1080p, and if a game supports HDR then the console will use it, I mean the Xbox One S supports HDR, so no reason why the Xbox One X would only allow it at 4K.

Thanks, I hope that is the case. The S will not allow HDR unless output is set to 4K. Not to tout the PS4 Pro but it told me my projector would not support HDR in 4K but offered up "2k HDR" as an option. I would hope the X was as elegant.

I don't know what they are aware off but it is false the Xbox one S can run 4k or 1080p same goes with HDR it is optional to change the resolution go to settings - display & sound - video output - TV resolution - 4k - 1080p

Thanks ngocphi,

the fact is that I generally use the console only for tv streaming (Netflix, Prime Video, Now Tv, TV) or BluRay player and not for gaming. I can't select 4k resolution on Xbox, while there are no problems with the Nvidia Shield (which however doesn't support
the same tv streaming of Xbox). I don't understant the different behaviour of the two consoles.

Thank again

Getting Started: Three Things You’ll Need to Experience 4K

Before you can experience 4K and HDR games and video, you’ll need to make sure you’re set up properly and have the right equipment.

1. You’ll need a 4K capable device

Good news, the Xbox One S is 4K Ultra HD capable

2. You’ll need a 4K TV

To check if you have a 4K TV, you can consult the packaging or manual for your TV. Different manufacturers have different names, but here are somethings to look for:

• Commonly used names for 4K: 4K**** Ultra HD deep color

To check your TV’s 4K and HDR capabilities, with your Xbox One S connected and on, double-tap the Xbox button on the controller to open the guide. Choose Settings > All settings > Display & sound, then choose
Advanced video settings > 4K TV details.

If your system should support 4K and HDR but it isn’t working (for example, you can’t select the 4K UHD resolution, 4K features aren’t supported in the 4K TV details screen, 4K content won’t play, or you’re seeing video quality problems), click

here for some help.

If you are using a monitor, you’ll also need to check if it is compatible.

Well typically using any console including the nvidia shield on a projector is a BAD idea

You do know the problems with using s projector for Gaming right?

One if your screens dont change you risk burn In which is bad because you will risk ghost images on the lens vs playing movies where the scenes should change constantly

Projectors arent really known for supporting standards
