    Series X Blu-Ray/4k player does not output true black (even though the X1X does)


    This one surprised me, especially considering I figured the Blu-ray would be the same as the X1X.

    Turns out that the Blu-ray app on the Series X puts out a very (VERY) dark gray (RGB value of 11,11,11) where it should be putting out straight up black (RGB 0,0,0).

    This might not even be noticeable to most people, but anyone using an OLED with a properly calibrated TV may. I hope this can be fixed considering the Series X is supposed to be the premium machine, and it doesn't even do what the X1X did properly.

    Important questions few have asked about XBOX ONE!

    Re: X1 and PS4 both being "4k compatible," that does not mean they are 4k Blu-ray compatible, it just means that they can output 4k. So, in other words, there is still the possibility the X1 might only be able to upscale 1080p Blu-ray to 4K, and might not
    be able to actually decode and output native 4K Blu-ray.

    X1 can output in 4K in other scenarios, though.

    The upcoming X-Box Series X

    Yes, I currently own an X Box One X

    When does the new X Box series X release this year?

    Will it have blue-ray?

    I have a 65 inch, 4K television.

    Will I see a difference in graphics with the new X Box on my 4K?
    Xbox Series X will release Holiday 2020, given Xbox's track record of releasing new consoles, they've usually been around November.

    It will have Blu-Ray.

    With the Xbox One X, it uses checkerboarding to get 4K resolution, though it's not true 4K, it's what allows the One X to get to 4K,

    With the Xbox Series X, it will use true native 4K, you may see that the Series X will look a little better at 4K than the One X at 4K.

    Xbox Series X 4K HDR blu-ray to SDR bug

    Since my TV does not support HDR, I cannot activate it and it is disabled by default.

    As I really like Interstellar, it was offered to me in 4k without knowing that I do not have a 4k TV.

    What I mean is Xbox series X has a very dark image with HDR blu-ray. But when I watch HDR blu-ray on my PS5 I have no problem.

    I think Xbox series x is not converting HDR to SDR correctly but that the ps5 yes.

    On the other hand, blu-ray 4k comes out very well on a 1080p TV.

    3D Blu Ray playback On Series X

    To be fair, on the Xbox Series X official page, there is no mention of 3D so it can't be expected:

    "Optical Drive. 4K UHD Blu-Ray"

    As to not having a state of the art player, not surprised there either....a £450 ($500) console is not expected to have a blu-ray player that would cost probably £200 standalone
