  1. My Xbox screen is on a wide display


    I poured a large coffee into my xbox 2 days ago and I let it sit for a day and it turned on and everything was good, until I turned it off and turned it back on and now the screen is wide and there is a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen, also
    the quality has gone down, what do I do?

    Xbox One Streaming: Setting resolution to match monitor resolution and aspect ratio

    Hi! I love this streaming thing! How do I set the streaming display resolution to match my monitor? I have a 21:9 monitor and I was stoked to play some destiny in panoramic wide screen, but no joy, black bars on the sides of the screen My Xbox screen is on a wide display :( Is there a way
    to change the streaming aspect ratio or resolution? Thank you!

    All games are suddenly widescreen

    If I recall, lowering resolution will bring the display to more of square shape instead of wide screen. I don't exactly recommend that if you do have actually have a HD wide screen TV with HDMI since that would let you get closer to native resolution, giving
    you better image and less screen lag still.

  6. Hey Fat Papers,

    Sorry to hear! In this case, as mentioned by our ambassadors, you would need to look into service options for the console. There may be a charge to have the console serviced/replaced if the damage is not covered under the

    Xbox One Console Warranty
    .

    There's more information in our
    Xbox One Repair FAQ
    that can help you get started on that.

    Quick Question

    Ultra wide screens like 2560x1080 are not supported by Xbox One, these screens typically use the superior Displayport interface only and do not support the ultra wide resolutions over HDMI. Xbox has no Displayport output only HDMI
    so there is a limited pool of displays that could ever use it over HDMI with Xbox.

    Xbox series S and an ultrawide monitor issue

    Hi,

    As no Xbox consoles support ultra-wide 16:10 aspect ratio displays, the image will have to be stretched to fit the screen. There is no work around for this.
