Distorted text on Xbox series s

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good morning

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this issue with your Xbox Series S. It sounds like the problem may be with the display resolution or refresh rate.

You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Make sure that your TV is set to the correct input and that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the console and the TV.

Check the display settings on the console to ensure that the correct resolution and refresh rate are selected.

If you're using a HDMI splitter or HDMI switch, try connecting the console directly to the TV to see if that resolves the issue.

If the issue persists, try power cycling the console. To do this, unplug the power cord from the back of the console, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in.

If none of these steps help, it's possible that there may be a hardware issue with the console. In this case, it would be best to contact Xbox Support for further assistance.

I hope this helps!

Distorted letters on the Xbox Series S can be caused by various factors, ranging from software glitches to hardware issues. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem:

Software Glitches: Temporary glitches or software conflicts can sometimes cause display issues, including distorted text. Try restarting your Xbox Series S. A simple restart can often clear these temporary issues.

Display Settings: Check your Xbox Series S display settings. Ensure that the resolution is set correctly and that any text scaling or other display enhancements are not causing the distortion.

HDMI Connection: Inspect the HDMI cable connecting your Xbox Series S to the TV or monitor. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends and that it's not damaged or frayed. Try using a different HDMI cable if available.

TV or Monitor Settings: Check the settings on your TV or monitor. Sometimes, overscan or other display settings can cause text distortion. Adjust the settings on your TV or monitor to ensure that the entire image is being displayed correctly.

Update Xbox Software: Make sure your Xbox Series S is running the latest software updates. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues or display glitches. Check for updates in the Settings menu under "System" > "Updates & downloads."

Reset Video Settings: Try resetting your Xbox Series S video settings to default. This can sometimes resolve display issues caused by misconfigured settings. Go to Settings > General > Video & audio > Video modes & formats > Reset to default.

I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help, if it works let me know and have a nice day. Oskayra

I am having the same issue on my Series X, it's been happening for about a month as well and getting worse. I thought it eas my headset or controller so I replaced both. It is still distorting. I tried your above fixes and neither did anything to help.
