  1. Does having my console plugged into a power strip affect latency and 4k gaming at 60hz?


    I recently connected my Xbox series s to a power strip along with my tv and I notice that the hazard icon appears telling me that if I have av/or other connection between my television and console may affect latency and 4k gaming at 60hz. Does that mean it is affecting it immediately or can be affected it in the future?

    Hello Chris J, My name is Khaji I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

    Plugging your Xbox Series S and your TV into a power strip or power strip generally shouldn't immediately impact latency or 4K gaming at 60Hz. However, it's important to keep a few things in mind:

    First make sure you use a quality power strip that provides stable and adequate power for your devices. Some low-quality power strips may not offer adequate surge protection or may perform poorly, which could affect the quality of the transmitted signal and ultimately the performance of your devices.

    Use high-quality HDMI cables certified to support 4K resolutions at 60 Hz. Low-quality or damaged HDMI cables may not provide optimal signal transmission, which could affect image quality and refresh rate.

    If you experience latency or image quality issues after connecting your Xbox Series S and your TV to the power strip, you can try the following actions:

    Plug your console and TV directly into a wall outlet To rule out any power strip or power strip issues, you can try directly plugging your Xbox Series S and TV into a wall outlet. This will eliminate any possible interference caused by the power strip.

    Make sure both your console and TV are configured correctly to support your desired resolutions and refresh rates. See the user manuals for both devices for specific instructions.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

    Hello Casual,

    Yes, if the power strip or extension cord is faulty the console will not get enough power and it can affect all aspects of the console even causing it to not turn on at all. I tested this at home myself, with a console plugged into a power strip console
    didn't turn on, plugged into the wall and console turned on.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Hi Max,

    Is the console plugged into a power strip or ext. cord? If so please plug it directly into a wall outlet and then try. Power strips and ext. cords go bad and there is no way of knowing. If the Xbox is not getting the proper power to run, it will stat to
    affect everything, even the console not turning on.

    Thanks,

    Brad
