Xbox one screen flickering

Rocketninja5820 · May 5, 2015

my xbox one is approximately six months old. Approximately 3 weeks ago the screen started flickering when on Youtube. Progressively has gotten worse. Now even happens when playing games...using Netflix...Youtube Etc. Have tried powering system off. attempted
to change HDMI cables and used various different HDMI inputs in TV. These changes havent made any difference so it makes me think it is an issue with my Xbox (hardware or software). can anyone advise? I read other forums but havent found a permanent fix and
even the "temporary" fixes havent made a difference.

xbox one screen flickering

I have had weirdness similar to this, yesterday my screen went berserk twice, both times I had been playing for a couple hours. Once it refused to draw 90% of the textures in Boneyard & I could see some of the other maps in a similar state in the distant
background. Made it really tough navigating maps I'm still unfamiliar with, lol. I had a pretty decent game still though, for me anyway. That corrected itself after exiting game and returning.

The second was a little more problematic, my display was ghosting horribly. Especially the text in my HUD and other player names, it wasn't long before that was all I could see. I had to shut my 6 day old console down & restart for that one go away. It was
only in Titanfall though, Halo Spartan Ops worked fine.

Ceased, when you say reset, you didn't mean back to "factory settings" did you? Clearing the consoles cache is most likely in "Settings" somewhere as with the Xbox 360?

Thanks!

I had this happen also, usually after extended playing. You need to reset the X1 and clear the cache.

Hey Rocketninja5820,

One thing hardware wise you can try is another TV. If you have another TV just to test I would recommend plugging your console into that to see if the problem moves with the console. Additionally follow the link below to ensure all your resolution settings
and other display settings are correct (It could be the hz).

Screen goes Black on HDR with Xbox ?

You talk about going black but have flickering on Topic.

There was an official Problem with HDR Flickering on that TVs and Xbox but that should be fixed a time ago

The screen flickers when HDR or HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Colour is on in the TV, after a while of flickering it goes black, then the TV loses the signal from the Xbox. That's
my problem.

If I deactivate HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Colour, then there's no more flickering and no more black screen.

Well it isn't fixed yet, I'm 100% sure I am on the latest firmware on both the LG C9 and the Xbox One X.

My xbox one makes my tv flicker black non-stop when i open games and apps. I switched HDMI cords to see if it was the issue and it still flickers. It's not the tv either cause i've tried a separate xbox one and no issues. I need to know the issue here with
the xbox that keeps making the screen flicker black. I did the hard reset with holding the power button down and it didnt fix it.

Hey, having the same problem here. Using Xbox One X. It was working fine for a year and recently started flickering. I have bought a new 4k tv and it's even worse. I bought a new high speed HDMI cable: new set of issues - complete black screen or it flickers
heavily. Went to test the XBOX on a 3rd tv and it flickers as well. I'd appreciate some help.

Hi Dallas,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand having issues with video. We recommend trying a

soft factory reset in case an update became corrupt causing the issue. First before doing that if you are in the Preview/insider program we suggest to post on the

insider forums first. As their updates are specific to content not released to the public.

Thanks,

Brad
