Any word on whether HDMI-CEC will return for Xbox One? I know it’s coming with Series X|S...

Hi TexasMaster9351! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

HDMI-CEC is supported only on Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. You must also enable HDMI-CEC on your TV.

Xbox Series X|S consoles can use an HDMI feature called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to send commands to and from CEC-enabled devices (such as TVs and AVRs) that are connected to the console.

This feature can be turned on and off via the TV & A/V power options settings screen. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > General > Sleep mode & startup > TV & A/V power options.

The Xbox One X is the only console that has HDMI 2.1. Xbox One S has HDMI 2.0.

The Xbox One S and One X both use HDMI 2.0,

The Xbox One uses HDMI 1.4

The Series X will have HDMI 2.1.

Hi,

There is more than enough bandwidth for 1440P @120Hz with HDR on an HDMI 2.0 Monitor. On the current consoles Microsoft decided to lock HDR to 4K displays, but with the Series S that won't be an issue anymore.

HDMI standards are backwards compatible, so you won't need an HDMI 2.1 compliant Monitor to use Series X or S on an older monitor or TV that only has HDMI 2.0.

Xbox One X and S can be very fussy when it comes to full monitor support. But if you bought a monitor that fully supports the Xbox One X then it should support the same features on a Series X/S.

My advice would be to check reviews of monitors actually running on the current consoles with 120Hz support. There are loads of videos on YouTube. Just looking at the specs on a website may not be enough.

Hi,

Exactly which Xbox One model are you on? HDMI-CEC (the feature for what you’re trying to do) is only supported on Xbox One X and Series X|S consoles, and it’s not possible to enable this on any previous Xbox models.

Are you an Xbox Insider and what OS version are you currently on? You can find this info in Settings > System > Console info.

Your TV appears to support HDMI-CEC, so no concerns there.

If you have a compatible Xbox One and the software is updated, then verify that this option is enabled in Settings > General > Sleep mode & start-up > TV & A/V power options. Refer to:

How do I control other devices using HDMI-CEC? | Xbox Support

You may need to restart your console so that the changes properly take effect. Be sure to wait at least 10-15 seconds before reconnecting the power to completely reset the power supply.

Keep in mind that there are known issues with this feature as mentioned in the status for the most recent update here:

What's new: Xbox system updates

> Some players have reported that HDMI-CEC isn’t working correctly. Ensure that your TV supports HDMI-CEC and that it’s enabled. If the issue persists, report the problem

Hope this helps.

I believe the Xbox one/360 line should be updated to support CEC

Not happening. IR only.

Minor workaround: plug a device with CEC into your Xbox's HDMI input. When you turn it on, your CEC supported display(s) should change inputs.
