On the Xbox series X, half of the screen won’t display on the TV for certain games. How can...

Hi LickEmTwoTimes, my name is Adam.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with your Xbox Series X. Try using a brand-new HDMI cable or connecting the console to a different HDMI and testing it might help.

I hope this helps.

Check your TV settings: If you are using a TV to watch content on your Xbox Series X, check your TV settings to make sure that any power-saving modes are turned off. Also, make sure that the HDMI input you are using to connect your Xbox is set to a mode that allows for HDR and 4K content, if applicable.

Reset the display settings: You can try resetting the display settings on your Xbox Series X console. To do this, go to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes > Allow 4K > Allow HDR. Make sure that both of these options are turned on. Then, go to Advanced video settings > Video fidelity & overscan > Display > Calibrate HDR for games. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate your display.

By my research it cannot display 120hz properly. The manual deliberately avoids talking about it, and the literature keeps talking about how the panel is 120hz. This does not mean the electronics driving the display can keep up.

according to this review it cuts the resolution in half at 120hz.

I appreciate the research you did. I’m really frustrated at this point, this being the second tv that I’ve gotten that has all the requirements to run 4k@120hz that is under 1k$ and won’t do it. Do you know what tvs will work with the Xbox one x and yield these results? Clearly it’s something in the fine print I am missing.

Games are only displaying half screen. New cables it's connected correctly. What I'm I missing? When watching tv it's full screen..

It sounds like you are experiencing some issues with your Xbox Series X. To troubleshoot the zoomed-in display on your TV, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the display settings on your TV.

- Some TVs have a "Zoom" or "Aspect Ratio" setting that can cause the display to appear zoomed in. Make sure this setting is set to the correct value for your TV.

2. Check the display settings on your Xbox Series X.

- You can access these settings by going to the "System" tab in the "Settings" menu, then selecting "Display & sound" and "Video output". From here, you can adjust the display resolution and other settings that may affect the display's appearance on your TV.

3. Check the HDMI cable and port.

- Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to the Xbox Series X and the TV, and that the port on both devices is free of any debris or damage.

4. Try a different HDMI cable.

- If you have another HDMI cable that you can use, try connecting your Xbox Series X to the TV using that cable to see if it resolves the issue.

If you continue to experience issues with the zoomed-in display on your TV after trying these steps, you may want to consider seeking assistance from Xbox support or a professional repair service.
