Dark Blurry screen

Sharkdeath09 · May 9, 2020

I've had my xbox for 2 years and only today started doing this. I turned it on and the xbox logo was a dark green instead of the usual bright green. The home menu is blurry and dim . I don't know what's wrong or what to do. I've tried a different HDMI
cable and that didn't work, and I've turned off and turned the console back on, but nothing's worked.

Do you happen to have HDR turned on? If so, turn it off and see if it changes.

This helped the tv had to be set to movie and game mode.. it was a setting on the tv. Thank You!!

Hi,Logan! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Let´s try resetting the display settings

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds to turn off the console.

Press and hold the Power button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).

Note If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button  and the Pair button  instead, as your console doesn’t have an Eject button.

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480).

To change this setting, press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution that you want from the options under Display.

I unplugged it and left it unplugged for over an hour before I tried your method, and it’s already back to normal without having to go through those steps.
