    Make the display screen of my Xbox One smaller?


    Hey there! I recently moved into a new apartment and I am now much closer to my tv screen than I would like. Because of this, I find it very difficult to play games and was wondering if there is any way that I can change the size of my xbox ones display,
    effectively emulating a smaller television screen? The options I have with my TVs display settings are limited at best. I can make the screen stretched, zoomed, or dot by dot, which doesn't help my situation at all.

    I am totally fine with black bars on the top and bottom of my screen, I just want to be able to play in comfort again. Any help would be much appreciated.

    :)

    Wireless Display App

    Having a bit of an issue with the Wireless Display App. Has worked seamlessly on my original black Xbox One without any issues, however since upgrading to an Xbox One S (both in preview program) all I get is a green screen when connecting my laptop. Sound
    still comes through fine, just a big green screen and no desktop display. Anyone encountered this?

    Make the display screen of my Xbox One smaller?

    If your TV is 1080p it may allow you to run a lower resolution (720p) and display it 1:1 (normal) so it would be centered and only use 1280x720 of the 1920x1080 pixels.

    Unfortunately the ability to do this depends entirely on the model of TV that you own. The aspect setting (sometimes called a "Wide" setting) you are looking for is called Just Scan, 1:1, Full Pixel, Screen Fit, or something entirely different depending
    on the TV.

    Xbox One Stretched smaller screen display

    Try it on a different TV. That looks like it could be a scaling chip failure in the display

    Hi Chelsey,

    This sounds frustrating and I understand you have tried a lot of troubleshooting steps already, including resetting the console, so I’ll do my best to help!

    Has there been any possible software updates to your Xbox One and TV recently? Any recent changes to your setup?

    Are you using a HDMI adapter or splitter on your connection from your TV to Xbox One?

    Does this issue occur on other resolution settings, such as 1080p or 720p?

    Set the Display Override setting to “Auto-detect”, which is recommended, unless one of the manual override options work better on your TV. To do this go to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video fidelity & overscan.

    Reset your TV settings on your Xbox One. To do this go to Settings > General > TV & display options > TV & OneGuide > Troubleshooting > Reset TV settings. Although a complete reset should’ve adjusted this and resolved the display issue.

    Verify your TV is set to the correct ratio, usually 16:9

    You may want to try your Xbox console on another TV or monitor, if possible. This would help identify weather the TV or Xbox console is causing this issue.

    Also here is another thread with a similar display issue on Xbox One, which may help.

    Make screen resolution smaller

    How is your console connected to your TV? The available resolutions depend on your connection, and if it's an HD connection such as VGA or HDMI, your TV will determine available resolutions. :)
