    I can't get my TV to recognize the Xbox Series X/HDMI cord


    I just plugged my Series X in for the first time and I can't get it to connect to the TV with the cord given. I tried using another HDMI cord I had lying around and it works for that. So do I have a faulty cable or is there some other issue?

    :)

    Video Display issues.

    I'm having the same issue. My older Xbox was used on a Standard TV last, and now i can't get it to work with the HDMI switch on the component cable. Works with a HDMI cord though, but that's for my other xbox

    Xbox series x

    And what if I buy a cable will it work
    The Xbox Series X will come with a HDMI 2.1 cable,

    But whether you use a HDMI 2.1 cable or not, the HDMI port on the TV needs to be HDMI 2.1 to achieve the 120hz refresh rates at 4K.

    using a HDMI 2.1 cable on a TV port with HDMI 2.0 will still only limit the Xbox Series X to 60hz refresh rates.

    New xbox series x won't work with hdmi cable it came with

    good evening

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting your Xbox Series X to work with the HDMI cable it came with.

    Make sure the HDMI cable is securely plugged into the correct HDMI port on your TV and your Xbox Series X.

    Try a different HDMI port on your TV to see if that fixes the problem.

    Check for any visible damage to the HDMI cable, such as frayed wires or bent connectors. If you find any damage, try using a different HDMI cable.

    Power cycle your TV and your Xbox Series X. To do this, turn off both devices, unplug them from the wall, and wait a few minutes before plugging them back in and turning them on again.

    Check for any updates for your TV or Xbox Series X and install them if necessary.
