Setting color depth for he's tv

blazinghellion · Mar 4, 2018

My Xbox one x is set to my her 4k display.

I know it will automatically turn a lot of stuff on the tv when it detects hdr content. Bit for color depth, I know hdr needs 10 bit. But what about none hdr content.

If I select 8 bit, will it automatically switch to 10 bit upon sending hdr content?

Dashes mean that the sampling for those color schemes are not available. The zeros are equivalent of checkmarks, that in this color scheme, sampling is available. And with UHD Color setting turned on, the 10-bit and 12-bit sampling for color depths YCbCr
4:2:2 and YCbCr 4:2:0 are available. Xbox One S supports all of the color depths. And 10-bit sampling is the equivalent of HDR10. So as long as you turn UHD Color on the TV, you will get HDR color support with this TV set.

What is the model of your TV? Does your TV actually support 12-bit color? The "Color depth" option may still be available even if your TV doesn't support it. If you set the color depth to a setting that your TV doesn't support, you're likely going to see
artifacts on your TV screen, or the HDMI input will just disconnect while running a game.

If your TV supports HDR, set the color to 10-bit.

If your TV does NOT support HDR, then set it to 8-bit.

Select "8-bit" if your 4K display is not capable of HDR. HDR content will be displayed in 8-bit, non-HDR color.

Select "10-bit" if your 4K display is capable of HDR. Non-HDR content will be automatically displayed in 8-bit color.

Is your color depth option set higher than your TV can support? Go to
Settings > Video output.

Under "Video fidelity", you will see the "Color depth" and "Color space" options.

Color depth:

If you have a Dolby Vision TV, set it to 36 bits per pixel (12-bit).
If you have an HDR10-compatible TV, set it to 30 bits per pixel (10-bit).
If your TV does not support HDR, set it to 24 bits per pixel (8-bit).

Color space:

If you are on a TV, use Standard (recommended).
If you are on a monitor, use PC RGB.

There was no change in the options of the color depth with this update. All three options are still available.

The difference may be that if you are on auto negotiating the TV connection your plasma may not give the option for all the color depths to the One, so the menu only gives you the choices, your TV is capable of.

If you set the TV connection to "hdmi" and disable the auto negotiation you should be able to use all of the the given depth options.
