Aspect ratio help

@Acidgen ... That's just the problem. My HDTV does not have a "PC Mode" option in the Picture Menu. This is not, however, a limitation of my TV. As I've already stated above, my TV has been working just fine for my 360 - no issues whatsoever. This is an
Xbox One issue. Thanks, though, for your trying to help me

 

Hi AWX, Yeah read through all the posts yesterday.

Most WOULD have been solved with PC mode. I dunno if you guys tried it but....

Check settings on xbox one and FORCE the HDMI output to PC mode....

But since a lot of you guys have the problem, only thing i can think of is... nothing...

You usually have this problems on Windows Machines hooked up to the tv, with the aspect ratio and all that..., and you have to go in to the graphic card settings and do the cropping etc etc.

Must be something with the TV / Projectors and the XBOX One signal. I thought my tv was going to give me problems. (PFL9956) but for once it has been smooth as silk.

Br,

The only "setting" present within the One is a Calibration indicator that shows you where the green and blue lines are. If that's not what you are referring to, can you be a bit more specific?

Thanks for those fast replies, man. A real champ, indeed.

 

Hola!

In the Screen and Audio setup of the xbox, where you choose like 1080p (Can't look at the One atm since the kids have done a complete take over of the main livingroom here) there is options to choose Depth and HDMI mode. The HDMI mode can be used to choose
e.g PC mode / TV Mode. Change that to PC mode, and lemmieknow how that does for you!

No problem, glad to help, it this works for 3 of you guys with problems i'm glad. If the rest of you are still having problems, that makes me a sad puppy.

Br,

 

Br,

If you get the chance, can you outline the procedure step by step once you have access to your One? I don't have it for testing purposes.

Really appreciate it, man.

 

I just got done reading this whole thread, and Awx it really seems like you have a thing or two to say about the X1. But I think a larger point is being missed here and I'd be remiss not to make it.

Now before I get into that, I want to preface this whole post with the fact that I in no way consider myself a "fanboy" of either side and I am in no way trying to be hostile or critical of your views.

That being said, it seems to me you're really missing out on the big picture here. I'm also going to save you a lot of time and hassle, the LIMITATIONS of your TV are going to hold you back from fully enjoying the system. There is no work around. There
is no fix. There is no incoming patch. There is no adapter to buy that will fix your issue. And it sucks, I really feel for you. But that's just a segway to the main point, that being: real innovation has to be a balance of convenience and progression.
The short version, you have an old TV and the X1 was made with thoughts to the future. This is a system that has to run the distance for the next decade, at least. If you want to be at the forefront of what the system is capable of doing, and you want to
be on the cutting edge, then you need to be willing to make the investment to do that.

The tired complaint of 'well the 360...' is just that, a tired old complaint. And the same goes for 'shoulda bought a PS4'. I have both a PS4 and an X1 and I can tell you from experience that the only thing that makes the PS4 nice is it is only just now
coming on par with the 360. Sure the hardware is better in the newer system, but it's capabilities and how they're being used are right on par. As for the X1, there are bumps in the road, just like there was with the 360. Just like there was with the PS4
and 3 and 2. These systems were all nightmares at first. But after years of updates and remodels, we have the systems we now know today.

Your inconvenience is rough, I get that, I have a TV that's about 5 years old I can play it on at all either, so when I do want to play I have to wait until the kids go to bed so I can use the one TV in the house that can use it properly. It's a price I
pay until I can make the investment into something more convenient. It's the price I have to pay for being a first adopter.

It seems to me the X1 isn't a good fit for you...right now. And maybe you'd be better off playing a PS4. That's your call. But I firmly believe that if you want the most out of the next gen and you're willing to make that investment with both your patience
and your money (for the new TV), the I believe you'd be a lot happier in the long run. At the end of the day, you have to do what's best for you.

 

Hey AWX,

Settings, Display and Sounds

And you will see this : compass.xboxlive.com/.../9e0760cb-c985-4d21-8868-41d8e67c49b5.png

Look for colorspace (TV-RGBLimited) like in the picture, and change that to PC.

Hopefully the TV might detect the new signal type.

Lemmie know how goes!

Br,

 

Has anybody been able to test the method that Acidgen provided? I feel unsure about buying this console only to find out that the above recommendation might not work, no offense Acid (I do hope it works, trust me).

 

Ive tested it. Doesnt work. Still only the blue box visable. Please release a fix.

 

wow ... it is MAY of 2014 ... and this STILL HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED!? ... this must be just too much to handle

 

I'm having the same issue. Here's to hoping for a fix...

 

Hey everyone looks like Microsoft just ignores these forums since they haven't addressed this issue after all this time.

However, they have new feedback forums, so vote here to fix this issue:
