Xbox One X on 1080p TV without 4K patches

Xbox One S is not really a 4K console,

4K Media Content - Yes

You can play 4K Blu-ray DVD's or Streaming services like Netflix in 4K just fine if your paying the the 4K subscription options,

4K Gaming Content - No

As for games, it only plays games at 1080p but it is upscaled to 4K, other wise a 1080p image without upscaling to 4K, will look much worst on a 4K screen than what it would do, if it was only displayed on a 1080p screen,

A 1080p image upscaled on a 4K screen does look a little better than a 1080p image on a 1080p screen, but it still a 1080p image made to fit a 4K resolution screen, which is what the Xbox One S does

Xbox One X is a 4K console,

4K Media - Yes

4K Gaming - Yes

The issues is not the TV, it's the Xbox One S not being an Xbox One X.

This isn't sold as next gen 4k xbox two! Its still an upgrade from outdated xb-one with a little faster cpu but boosted gpu to render 4k graphics at max 30fps. to counter ps4pro "fake" 4k upscale.

Max out to 60fps/1080p or extra enhanced 1080p graphics or renderup to 4k/max 30fps is only possible with x enhanced patched games like: fortnite, rise of tomb raider.

cpu intensive games like pubg even have trouble to max out 30fps/1080p altough last patch was smoother stable 30fps.

UNless they program for the X only without old one compatibility the true X power can't never be shown.

So the next gen consoles will come standard with 1080p/60fps and 4k/30fps ready.

It will not upscale to 4K as your TV is only capable of 1080p. However your Xbox One X will downscale 4k to 1080p which looks a lot nicer then normal 1080p.

I'm running a Xbox One X on my 1080p projector and a 1080p TV.

Both consoles load faster (provided you install on the internal drive or have a fast enough USB 3.0 external drive) than the "standard" Xbox, which is evident in multiplayer sessions, where I am usually one of the first in the lobby, while others with original
Xbox One or Xbox One S are still loading.

Also, even if you don't have a 4K TV, the X will still render the game in 4K, and downscale to 1080p, aliasing diagonal edges of objects, giving you a much smoother and clearer looking picture in 1080p.

So yes, even without a 4K TV you benefit from the power of the Xbox One X

If you are playing an Xbox One X Enhanced title, it will not run on the Xbox One X
without the 4K asset patch. It is not possible to play the "regular 1080p" version of the game if it's already enhanced.

If you're running the Xbox One X on a 1080p TV, you will still get the benefit of supersampling, among the other performance boosts of the more powerful hardware.

If you are concerned about storage space, you can get an external hard drive to expand your game storage - just be sure it connects via USB 3.0, and it at least 256GB in capacity.
