My Xbox One is stuck in 640x480 display

Walker1444 · Jul 12, 2021

I turned on my Xbox and it was set at 640x480, which was not what I had originally on a couple of hours before using it. I have gone through the process of a hard reboot, but that did not fix the problem. I am now inquiring about other methods to fix this problem. What other ways have you been able to fix this issue?

My One X would that from time to time...I'd turn it on and it would be stuck in that resolution and not recognising that my TV was 4k. For me, all it took was unplugging the HDMI cable from the Xbox (unplugging from the TV made no difference), then plugging it back in again.

Try the following:

Remove any disc from your console, if necessary, then hold the power button on the console to completely shut the console down.

Now hold down the eject button, and hold the power button. The console will chime as soon as you press the power button as usual, but keep holding Eject and Power button, until the console chimes a second time.

This will force the console to reset it's resolution settings to a rescue resolution.

Now try going to the console's video settings and set the resolution according to these instructions:

Hello! This may be a dumb question, but do you have a remote tied specifically to that TV (Not one of those remotes TV providers would give you, but a remote that specifically came with your TV)? If so, there should be an aspect button on there or something
along those lines in which you should be able to change the screen size.

I can change the resolution out of 640x480 but if I choose 720p, 1440p or 1080p the green screen start again.

I tried using another device (laptop, xbox 360) with the same HDMI cable and they are displayed in 1080p perfectly. As soon as I reconnect the HDMI cable on my xbox one the screen shrinks in 640x480
