  1. Has anyone seen red and green pixels flickerinng in some games?


    In Xbox SERIES X, I have noticed some games have green and purple/red pixels appearing over some textures, specially fur or water type textures. Until now I noticed it in the following games:

    Modern Warfare 2 (here the issue is more noticeable with green and red pixels appearing in water or stone like textures)

    Halo Infinite (screen flashes in green and red for less than a second, but happens constantly sometimes every 2 minutes)

    Shadows of Mordor (some enemies flash in red/purple when they are transparent)

    Red Dead Redemption 2 (fur or skin of animals has red or purple tint)

    Resident Evil 8 (some clouds appearing purple or green)

    Maybe happens in more games but I noticed these to be more annoying and messes with the game experience, menus from Xbox are not showing anything weird

    This happens more in 4k but noticed too in 1080 but less annoying, have tried four different 4k HDMI cables (including 2 original Xbox cables) and two 4k TVS (one is Samsung and the other TCL)

    What I tried:

    TV: turn off GAME MODE, turn off variable bit rate,disable any visual improvement, all the HDMI ports

    Console: disable HDR (seems to be more noticeable when I do it), disable Dolby Vision, disable Variable bit rate, disable game mode, changed Color depth options)

    This is driving me nuts, I already sent the console to repair center and they sent it back exactly the same, my guess is that they didnt do anything

    Hello Cesar Dario Pérez Rivera,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Try using that cable with another device to see if the problem persists, or plug it into a different port on your TV. You might also try using a composite cable or an AV connection to see if you get the same pixels. If everything else checks out, it has to be the cable, but if it doesn't, there could be a problem with your Xbox's HDMI port.

    If you’ve had your console repaired in the last 60 days and the console is still not working properly, you can request a call from Xbox Support.

    Please follow the steps below to reach out to our live support team.

    8. On the final window, you will be presented with multiple options. We suggest selecting either the "Chat online" or the "Request a call" options to speak with someone. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible.

    have you checked your hdmi connection make sure it's secure.

    Also try using a different port on TV see if that helps 🤔

    Its unlikely to be the xbox. I'd be more inclined to look at the TV or the HDMI cable you're using to connect the two.

    It’s most likly the TV, or the connection to thr TV. Can try another HDMI cable and see it that helps. But it most likely the TV.

    First, try plugging the HDMI cable into another HDMI plug on your TV (or receiver depending on your setup). If you are still getting artifacts and pixels, try swapping HDMI cables with another HDMI device you may have.
    If this solves your issue, then you have a defective HDMI cable. You do not need a specific XBOX HDMI cable. They are universal for the most part.

    Hope this helps!
