PC RGB On Xbox One X

As of the most recent Xbox 360 and Xbox One updates, the problem is still not fixed.

I have my TV calibrated and configured properly. I have tested it with my both my PS3 and PC set to RGB Full and RGB Limited, and my Wii U (which outputs RGB Limited)

It works perfectly with all 3 devices.

On both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, however, the output from the both the RGB Full and RGB limited options have 16 levels of black crushing and 16 levels of white crushing when the TV is set to the corresponding mode, and only look normal when the TV is set
to RGB Full, and the Xbox is set to RGB Limited.

I don't have recording equipment, but others have recorded output and tested the black levels in photoshop to verify this issue.

Essentially the problem breaks down as follows:

Black Levels

15-239

- PS RGB Limited option, Wii U, PC RGB Limited output

0-255

- Xbox RGB Limited option, PS RGB Full option, PC RGB Full output

(-16)-271 (values out of range by 16 levels)

- Incorrect Xbox RGB Full option

Hi Mutant x Gene,

The Xbox 360 RGB cables will not work with the Xbox One. Other companies make HDMI to RGB, but they're not officially supported by Microsoft, and you would need to contact the manufacturer of the cable should you have issues with audio and video.

All of you are correct in describing how RGB Full and RGB Limited are SUPPOSED to work.

On every device I own EXCEPT the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, the options for RGB Limited and RGB Full DO work this way.

On the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, however, the RGB Limited option outputs RGB Full, and the RGB Full option is completely broken.

TV content is authored such that a value of 16 (on a 0-255 scale) represents full black and 235 represents full white (this color span = “RGB Limited”) and assumes the viewer's TV has been calibrated to show full black upon receiving a pixel value of 16
and to show full white upon receiving a value of 235. Xbox One is assumed to be connected to a TV (not a PC monitor), and we make our best efforts to optimize video content (movies, TV shows, content authored specific experience for video levels, i.e. "RGB
Limited"), consistent with CE devices.

Switching to RGB Full will cause loss of visual dynamic range on a properly calibrated TV.

Basically, you should always use the TV (RGB Limited) Color Space display setting on Xbox One. All video content (TV shows, Movies, Blu-ray, DVD, etc.) is authored for (RGB Limited). You’ll actually lose visual dynamic range if you select Color Space = PC
(RGB Full).

The "RGB Limited" setting could be named more accurately.'

Note they have now changed the name to RGB Standard and PC RGB. If you use RGB Standard then 99% of your "crushed black" problems will be gone

hello,i have the same issue and have contacted support who cannot identify the error code,nobody knows what 0x80bd002a is,its a bit sad when Microsoft cannot even give advice on one of its error codes,i have a samsung tv which is fully capable of full rgb
and when playing non hdr games makes a difference but now im just sticking to standard,the console was fine up until last friday

Thank you so much for your answer, really appreciate it . Sad to hear your console was fine until friday, maybe my will go the same destiny, I love One X so far and think it's amazing so its sad it has these flaws. I have a really hectic work so when
I have time to sit down and play I just want it to work.

Many thanks and hugs

Hi guys I have the same issue on the XBX with an LG HDR 4K TV

Hi BlueLotu5, thanks for your answer.

Hopefully this is a software problem (probably) and not at hardware problem and can be solved via a patch rather quickly. But you never know, maybe we just sadly have to deal with a strange behaving xbox.

Many thanks and hugs
