Xbox One not showing colors, just grayscale

RepaidLamb19945 · Dec 1, 2016

Hi, I have an issue with xbox one. Last night I was playing DOOM as normal, it froze one time and needed to restart but still played as normal. But today when I start my xbox one it was everything on screen grayscale, no colors. I already tried changing
HDMI cable, changing HDMI tv ports but still everything grayscale. Did anybody know how to solve this problem?

Colors are messed up. Green tint

Hello my Xbox 360 has recently stopped showing the proper colors. It has a green tint to it. My guess is something is wrong with one of the main colors. I am wondering if there is any fix for this. It is not the TV. It does the same on other TV. It is
not the cable. I bought a new one to make sure. I have the plugs plugged in to the correct "colors". Colors are fine if I use the non HD cables. Does my Xbox need to be repaired? Can I repair it? Am I screwed?

Hi

Can you please check your console is not set to one of the high contrast modes.

In one of the accessibility settings there is a color filter setting for grayscale. This should be under ease of access, then color and contrast. Not sure why this is not under display.

Select Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Color filters.

•STANDARD makes use of the entire grayscale.

•INTERMEDIATE uses only a part of it, crushing the white end of the spectrum.

•EXPANDED crushes black.

Crushing one end of the grayscale will highlight the other end. So you'll notice shades of black and vibrant color in Intermediate. Shades of white are more prominent in Expanded Mode where scenes appear brighter and less saturated. (With white levels and
crushed blacks Expanded seems like a massive leap in contrast.)

The best thing you could do on your own, is hook it up to a PC (HDMI or VGA input) and calibrate using a website with basic calibration images like brightness, Sharpness, Contrast, Color, Etc. If you want to better your color temperature settings, but won't
be perfect without a calibration device, you could look at a 10 point grayscale Image and use the 10point IRE feature on your TV to adjust each level accordingly.

Just some suggestions if pre-defined settings don't look as good.

Also, just wondering, is this a fairly new console or an older one? And what color light is showing on the power brick when you have the Xbox One turned on?
