  1. Very dim picture!!!


    I bought my xbox one the week it was released so I have had it a little while now. It has worked fine until about a week ago. Every day when I power it up for the first time the picture is incredibly dim. So much so that I can barely make out whats on the
    screen, but I can see to an extent so it's not a black screen. If I turn the xbox off then power it back on it works fine. A couple days ago I did a test to see how long it took for this to happen. It seems that if I turn it off and then within roughly an
    hour power it back on it works fine, but if it's off for more then an hour it doesn't show up properly and I have to restart it. Is this a problem others are having? Should I send it in for a repair or is there something I can try and do to fix it myself?

    :)

    Cannot upload custom gamerpic 'there was a problem'

    Hello!

    From the Windows 10 app, click on your gamer pic, then customize, then hover over your current picture. The picture will dim with a customize button appearing, click on that, and It will prompt to choose a gamer pic or select a custom picture.

  3. 4K TV

    You want something with HDR for sure. OLED is great, hands down best picture you can buy but it'll cost you. You can get 80% of the picture for half the cost from some of the good Sony and Samsung sets. TCL has a good set for very little money that won't blow your mind but it might for the value to price proposition. OLED also isn't great if you have a very bright room and can't / won't dim it. OLED sets aren't very bright, the infinite contrast just makes them look very bright but they end up very susceptible to reflections from windows or close lights.

    rtratings and digital Foundry have some good articles on TV recommendations and settings.

    LG has a better OS then Sony IMO but their LED sets don't have nearly as nice a picture.

  6. Hey everyone!

    Sorry to hear about the dim picture issue. I recommend trying a few troubleshooting steps to see if we can get this issue sorted.

    Please give the following steps a try:



    • Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One for 10 seconds.
    • Once your console is powered off, unplug the power cord.
    • Wait 5 minutes and then plug in your console.
    • Power on your console and check to see if the picture is dim.
    • If the picture is still dim, try using a different HDMI cable if possible.
    Give the suggested steps a try and let us know if you are continuing to experience the issue.
