    Black Screen / Stuck in 640x480


    Hello all!

    I was just playing xbox and everything was fine. Xbox turns off after sitting idle for a while, no big deal.

    I turn it back on, the screen is black and my tv is telling me that the external resolution is too high and cannot read it. (This is after about a year of playing it on this resolution)

    I did the hard reset and the low resolution mode. The whole 9 yards. Finally I managed to get a screen that I can see, but the resolution is stuck in 640x480. It allows me to change the resolution, but the screen goes black for about 10 seconds then comes
    back to the settings in 640x480.

    I’m losing my mind. I have just been playing this xbox just fine and then this comes out of no where. Someone help! Lol.

    Xbox One X is my console

    Samsung Smart TV is my tv

    :)

    Xbox one resolution

    If you switch your TV connection settings in the Xbox One settings from "Auto-detect" to HDMI or DVI it will display the only resolutions the Xbox One is capable of even if your TV doesn't support some of those resolutions. You can set it to 1080p, but
    if your TV doesn't support it the screen will go black. If you set it to 1080p and your screen didn't go black then your TV accepts 1080p, but your TV might scale it to 720p.

    Unfortunately, many TVs don't accept either 1080p or 720p, so without 1080i output the Xbox One is forced into standard definition 640x480, which by Microsoft's own admission is not recommended. 640x480 resolution on a system meant to display in HD looks
    terrible and it makes the Xbox One look worse than the Xbox 360. Many of the Xbox One's main features do not even work in 640x480 like the big app tile goes to a black screen and when snapping apps the left screen goes black. Not to mention that any on-screen
    text is illegible and the system is letterboxed even on a widescreen TV because 640x480 is a 4:3 resolution.

    Microsoft could easily fix this by adding 1080i output in an update, but they have been ignoring this, even though it is one of the biggest requests on their new feedback site.

    Stuck in 640x480

    Same issue. Support chat did nothing for me. Xbox One X here. Maybe try a display reset but it automatically resets you in 640x480 witch is the only way I get visual now.
