Xbox One S not support 4k UHD?

Hello Spinhead82,

Things are still in a state of change in the land of 4K UHD and haven't quite settled out yet. Part of this may have to do with DRM (Digital Rights Management) and trying to lock things down when it comes to all this 4K digital plumbing. Not only is it the
hardware, like needing to use HDMI 2.X cable. But, it's also the software. Does the firmware in the monitor/TV support the 4K UHD (HDCP 2.2)
content coming from the attached device ("Checking your TV's 4K and HDR capabilities on Xbox One S")? Yes, the Samsung U28E590D
can do 4K UHD, but does it support HDR10? HDR10 support seems to be a very important threshold when comes to connecting the Xbox One S to 4K UHD TVs. The current crop of 4K UHD monitors seems to be more directed to PC gamers. While, the Xbox One S is geared
more toward lager format TVs. I'm sure that this is not the only list, but Windows Central has what it calls "Best 4K HDR TVs For Xbox One S".

Good luck and good gaming,

SA

Sorry to hear it. I think the problem here is that the One S does not fully support 4K but only upscales the video. https://www.xbox.com/consoles/xbox-one https://www.windowscentral.com/does-xbox-one-s-support-4k-uhd-gaming

Hello, changed xbox one for xbox one "s" 2 weeks ago. Changed HD terminal for a 4K UHD terminal. Pass-through doesn't work in 4K. I think xbox one s caracteristics are not clear. I upgraded the console and the terminal for the 4K pass-through not for changing
hdmi sources all the time... Not happy about this. I know the xbox one s caracteristics do not say "4K pass-through enable" but as a central entertainment device as MS says, 4K pass-through should be included in the "4K content" terminology. At first I didn't
think 4K pass-through was not supported because it was obvious it was supported.

Unfortunately the Xbox one S is only really capable of maxing out at 1080p UHD. If you want the full 4k HDR experience you'll need the Xbox One X. I dont think there's a way of getting it to run even in 4k UHD on their S. The only 4k you'll get on the
S is the streaming and video quality.

As long as your TV supports 4K, but still not working, I would recommend checking this link: Error occurs when you select the 4K UHD resolution on Xbox One X or Xbox One S | Xbox Support as it offers some points you might be missing.
