Live TV input to XBOX ONE looks darker than expected.

Sorry Unreal, many posts and many times it is possible to blend cases (If like I do refer to the last few posts and not the whole thread, which is my mistake). You have done everything well and I really do appreciate the extra work. The goal was to make
the transition so clean a multi-chromite (a person with extra cones in their eye) would not be able to tell. We are not quite there, but getting there.

XBR1,

I don't think people many people would notice this issue. It's not like the screen is made black. Its only noticeable if you have a reference and are paying attention to it. I would guess the majority of folks don't notice it.

"Why not remove the splitter to test?" I don't understand this, we covered this before and it didn't help. I went to the basic setup that you suggested in earlier posts and the issue remained. What do you want me to do?

I haven't tried GZA's test for the TV inputs yet (wife is using the TV) but I will soon. I also had another idea... I'm going to remove the cable box from the environment in an attempt to prove my theory that it doesn't matter what is connected the the XBOX
hdmi input and that the XBOX one will always darken the image. To do this, I'll hook up my PS3 to the XBOX's hdmi in and see if that image is darker too or if it's only with a cable box.

SWANLEE, yes that is the same issue I'm seeing too. I suspect its some sort of gamma correction on the Xbox itself.

XB1R, Yes I have done "Calibrate HDTV" but doesn't that only check settings on the TV? My HDTV settings are fine (I've had it calibrated and fine tuned all the settings on it long before the XBOX ONE).

I don't have any HDMI 2.0 cables. Is the cable that comes with XBOX ONE an HDMI 2.0?

Have you been able to repro this XBR1? It's REALLY easy to see if you pause a DVR on a screen with some blacks. Please fix this! XBOX shouldn't be changing the output of my cable box.

I did CABLE HDMI XBOX HDMI TV and the image is still darker (no splitter). I changed the cable box's color space to RGB and that didn't make a difference either.

Are you able to repro this? It's really easy to see if you have add an HDMI splitter 😃.

What I mean my until a control can go: is forming a control (like, we know that this particular setup runs perfect, then add variables until it does not work anymore).

The setup I would like you to try is: Cable box HDMI Xbox One HDMI TV. No splitters/hubs. HDMI cable that came with the Xbox going to the Cable Box.

After trying above...

- Try RGB (does it give an option for full, or some restricted version of this?)

- It should be set ideally for 16:9, so that should be fine.

No worries on the help, I want this awesome feature to work for everyone with out exception (although I know we are not 'there' yet. We are working hard to get 'there'). Let me know!

-Cheers
