Resolution Issue

Godsliltippy · Oct 27, 2015

Hi,

I've been checking to see if anyone else is having this issue. My husband has been using our xbox one all day without issue. However, when I exited Netflix, the resolution had changed to the point it looks like we have zoomed in on the home screen. Youtube
and Netflix are also showing up zoomed in. We have changed the resolution in settings, turned off the console, the tv and sound system. We are unsure of anything else to try.

Any ideas?

:)

Xbox Resolution Issue. Halp!

they will probably not add a 1600x900 resolution option because remember, the xbox 360's native output image is 720p (1280x720) so if your using that lower resolution (probably 1360x768) its still more than 720p and you wont be watching 1080p video unless
you have a 1080p monitor.

The other pc resolutions (such as 1440x900 or 1680x1050) are for compatibility reasons for 16:10 monitors and since you already have a 16:9 ratio on your monitor (not calling you stupid, but 1600x900/100=16x9 (16:9) ), you don't need a separate 1600x900
resolution as it wont look any different than the native 720p image (upscaling barely makes a difference) and since it isnt 1080p, just settle for 1360x768 or get a 1080p TV/Monitor.

Sorry for the babble, but i hope you see the reason.

ALSO. if your screen is "skewed", use the auto adjust feature on your HP monitor to make it resize the image to the correct position. Its normal and has happened to me while i used a 1920x1200 monitor. The reason is that the VGA cable doesnt have a "sense"
wire in the connector like HDMI does so its not considered "smart". doing this auto adjust should fix the skewing issue.

Xbox Resolution Issue. Halp!

okay so here's the deal... as much as i would prefer to be using an HDMI cable to hook up my xbox.. i can't.

i'm 22 years old.. i live at home with my parents.. and i play xbox on my computer monitor.. (it's the only way i guarantee that i'm able to play whenever i want to.)

I have an HP 20'' 1600x900 resolution monitor... and up until the new update everything's been working fine. Xbox doesn't support a 1600x900 resolution so i settled for a lower one that still looked fine.

Since the new update... the resolution i was using is now skewed and only displays half of the screen.

there are now no resolutions that scale correctly to my monitor and i can no longer play xbox... without it looking like complete and total ***.

is there any way to get my xbox into a 1600x900 resolution?

and if not.. can we turn this post into a petition to get microsoft to add one?

thanks guys.

Did you do a hard reset? While it XBOX is on hold the power switch on the console down for 10 seconds or until the unit shuts off completely. After 15 seconds then power it back up and see it that corrects the issue. Let us know.

I would like to let you know that Fortnite only supports 1080p on the Xbox Series S. Only the Series X can play the game in 4K.
So when you use 4K in your Series S, the system is going to upscale the game resolution.

Did you try adjusting the settings on the monitor? You may have to adjust it to 1080I or 1080P settings. The HDMI cable might play a role in this. When using a HDMI it will change the picture making it seem like the image sits far back. Or the monitor
might not support that resolution. If you want to be sure go to gamestop and buy a AV cable. Try plugging that in and see what happens. If you are unhappy of the results, return the cable within a couple days. Make sure you save your receipt.

Never mind, I suppose it fixed itself somehow when I switched my TV mode from HDMI to AV, and then back.

Your HDMI out is failing. Nothing you can do. Component would be a better choice, but your console is having a slow and painful death. Usually once HDMI fails, component works for the majority of cases.
