    X1 and 4K...


    Amazon had a heck of a deal on a 49" 4K LED tv I could not pass up. I know there is very limited 4K content broad cast right now but I did upgrade my Netflix to the Ulta HD package. Now will I get the 4K through my X1 Netflix of will I have to watch via
    my Netflix on the TV to get the ultra HD???r

    :)

  2. 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.

    Everything on your console will more than likely be up-scaled, if anything, via your TV, so I would recommend your 2nd suggestions and simply watch it through your Smart TV features to gain the full benefit (as I'm not entirely sure that the console supports
    the "ultra-HD" function that Netflix offers).

    Yeah, I'd have to agree with GG about using your tv's own features.

    We got a UHD tv a few months back and tbh, I haven't had to use a seperate box for viewing UHD shows yet. The tv does a fine job on its own.

  8. X1 and 4K...

    I'm still holding out hope that they'll flip the switch and allow the Xbox One to stream 4K from Netflix and Amazon. Major Nelson already confirmed that it is 4K ready, it just needs to be activated. As I would prefer to use the xbox interface rather than
    my smart TV to stream 4K, especially since it would require further hookups for audio for me.

    As someone who recently bought a 4K TV I can confirm they are all correct. You are going to get the best quality if you go through the apps on the tv itself.

    My TV Netflix app will show the Ultra HD movies/shows, where going through my X1 will not.

    -

    What a difference though! Even the response of the controller seems faster than before? Weird... my first couple games of free for all were interesting... lol...

    XBOX SLIM 2TB NO GAMES BUNDLE ON DAY 1 APART FROM MIROSOFT DEALS ?

    Except, out of the box. The X1S does not have 4k support, for that you need to connect it to xbl and dl an update. (NZ ships x1s early)

    So 4k rendered in software rather than hardware???

    What are your thoughts with the Xbox One Slim?

    My current x1 works perfectly fine and I am not a fan of the x1 slim being white. Plus it is not going to be til 2018 when I plan on getting a 4k tv so the 4k features would be pointless and the scorpio will be out before I even have that 4k tv.
