Does the Xbox One S actually upscale regular Blu-Rays?

Hey everyone,

I'm a bit confused by this and I've heard conflicting reports.

But, does the X1 S actually upscale regular Blu-Ray films to 4K?

When I play games on my S, the tv lists the ouput as "4K." so, I'm assuming that means the games are being upscaled to 4K.

However, when I play a regular Blu-Ray film on my S, the tv lists the output as "1080p." so, I'm assuming that means regular Blu-Rays are NOT being upscaled to 4K?

I've seen other people online comment that the S no long actually upscales regular Blu-Rays to 4K. It used to but not anymore.

the official support page for the S says that it is supposed to upscale "everything" if the console is set to "4K UHD" in the settings.

I have my console on that 4K UHD setting, but it doesn't seem to be upscaling my regular Blu-Rays.

Does anyone else have this issue? I'd appreciate your help and comments.

Thanks.

:)

 

Does X1 S Upscale Games and Blu-Rays to 4K?

Hey everyone,

I'm considering getting an X1 S in the near future. But I wanted to confirm some of its features, first.

1. I know that the S has a 4K UHD Drive, so it can play 4K Blu-Rays.

But, does the S actually upscale regular Blu-Rays to 4K? Or, does it output regular Blu-Rays at their normal resolution and let the 4K TV do the upscaling?

I've heard conflicting reports about this.

2. Likewise, I know the S can't do true 4K gaming, but does it upscale all X1 games ( including already released X1 games ) to 4K? Or, does it only upscale certain games to 4K, such as new upcoming games designed to take advantage of the S?

Thanks for your help!

 

Xbox One S doesn't display 4k on Normal Blu Rays it converts 1080p

My xbox one S works greats with all Ultra Blu Ray plays them in 4k and video games in all 4k no issues with that . Tv set is UN65JS8500FXZA .

I would of thought the player would upscale the regular blu rays to 4k output...

 

I have not tried a standard blu ray on my xbox one s... I'll have to try it. I had that happen with a 4k blu ray, but it only happened on a certain hdmi input. Changed it to a different input and it output 2160p. I doubt that's the problem, but you could
always give it a shot. That's kinda garbage if they don't upscale.

 

Knight, Blu-Ray disc's are by default HD only (1920x1080 59.94i) at 16:9 aspect ratio where 4k resolution is considered Ultra-High Definition (3840×2160 60p) at 16:9 ratio. The "upscaling" you're referring to is where it increases some quality like sharpness
and sound but you can't take a media format that maxes out at 1920x1080 and double it. That would be like trying to take a beat up record from the 60's and match that quality to that of a CD's digital sound from today's artists. I'd grab a U-HD Blu-Ray and
give it a spin... At least then you'll be getting what you paid for in that console and TV.
