display resolution

ecullen1122 · Aug 20, 2016

I don't have an option of changing my display resolution on my screen. Usually it will give you options between 820p or 1080p, but it will not give me that option. I also cannot see the whole left and top sides of my screen. please help me fix it

:)

Does it help if you change the resolution on your console?

If it's on auto-detect, try changing it to 720p and rebooting it.

4K content not working on my Xbox One S anymore.

Hi,

I'm not sure if you are aware, but UHD colour just refers to HDR, not an UHD resolution. Enabling UHD colour won't automatically enable 4K resolution. Does your console report to be in 4K resolution? Does the OSD (on screen display) on your display/s
show a 4K resolution I.e. 3840x2160?

Hi, try resetting the display settings on the Xbox and then go into the display options and try to set things up again.

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

2.On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for five seconds to turn off the console.

3.Press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You will hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. DO NOT LET GO until the second
beep occurs.

Note This will boot your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480). To reset this setting, go to Settings in the guide, select Display & sounds, Video options, and then TV Resolution.

If that doesn't help then check the TV picture settings aren't set to Zoom or something that may be enlarging the display input.

There's also an option on many modern televisions, called Overscan (names may vary depending on brand.) On newer consoles connected via HDMI, this results in the image being cut off and making parts of the interface outside the viewable area. You will want
to make sure to turn off any image processing like Overscan, and any options which auto-adjust the display to make it fit, as this often has more negative impact on the image than positive.

If you're interested, the Xbox One has a screen calibration app in the display settings area which is very helpful with more than just color balancing; it also goes through various image procesing settings that you should enable or disable to make the image
fit and look better!

Hi Feth l Charl,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with streaming to Mixer. If your stream seems blurry and you are wanting to create a more clear image, be sure to keep your resolution as high possible. 1080p would allow for a more clear stream,
though it may require more upload speed to keep the stream smooth where as 720p would allow for a smoother stream, the quality of image would be reduced.

I hope this information helps.

HDMI cables are recommended for resolutions of 720p and higher. How high to set it depends on your display's highest resolution. A way to find this out would be to check the manual or website of the manufacturer. Then to set the resolution that the Xbox
will broadcast, go to System Settings, then Console Settings, then Display. In Display, go to HDTV settings and select the resolution that matches your display's.
