HDMI port for Xbox one question

Hello C0nd1t10nR3D,



How the Xbox One works with being able to control the TV is that the Xbox One has a HDMI In port and a HDMI Out port. If a person had a cable set-top box, they would take the HDMI cable from that and plug it into the HDMI In port on the Xbox One, and then
connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI Out port and connect that to the TV.



In your case, I think it could only work if your TV had both a HDMI Out port and a HDMI In port. If this is the case, which I don't ever think I've heard of a thing for just a TV (I guess it could be possible), then you would go from the TV's HDMI Out port
to the Xbox One's HDMI In port and from the Xbox One's HDMI Out port to the TV's HDMI In port.



I hope I have answered your question!

That would entirely depend on your TV, both ports are not always up to the max spec, and you should consult your manual

I tried to connect Xbox to both and see no visual difference. I think all these HDMI ports work as normal HDMI's but lets say if you ever wanna connect sound bar you need to use specific port like ARC for example.

If the Xbox is working with the same HDMI cable on a different TV, then that would lead me to believe the HDMI port on the TV in question is bad. I had a bad HDMI port on my TV as well that just went out one day. If it works on another TV with the same
HDMI cable then I would say the Port on the TV has quit working.

My question is…

Can I connect my 360 to the Xbox One too?
