    Xbox one x won't allow me 4k


    Hi. I have enjoyed 4k hdr @60hz on my Xbox one x and Samsung q80t for some while now.

    I got myself an ultra high speed hdmi cable last week and after plugging that in I can't get my Xbox to allow 4k content in the settings.

    I have switched back to my old high speed hdmi and the problem is still there, now I can only play at 1080p @60/120hz.

    What shall I do now?

    :)

    Epson 5040UB : Your TV setup doesn't support HDR10 for gaming. Games won't be shown in HDR

    Yep. I think there will be a lot of dissapointed people when they find out their 4K HDR TV won't play Xbox One 4K games because they don't have a full 18Gig HDMI pipe.

    The requirement from the X to have 4K @60 and 30 Bits just to play a 4K game seems off. I can see where the bandwidth requirement would be there for 4K @60 with HDR, but I'd like to play the game in either 4K without HDR or 1080P with HDR but the current
    setup on the X (and S) will not let you do this.

    Odd thing is that I played Horizons:Zero Dawn on my PS4 Pro and the first thing it did was tell me I could have either 4K or HDR but not both. I chose HDR and the game looks fantastic. I can't believe the XBOX One X won't do this.

    So, if you have a display that does 4K@ 24 with HDR then the XBOX One X is just a nice game machine that will play videos in HDR for you but none of the UHD features are available to you for gaming.

    Microsoft, surely you can change this and allow HDR in 1080P?

    Xbox One X HDR in 1080p

    You'll be able to set the output of the Xbox One X to 1080p, and if a game supports HDR then the console will use it, I mean the Xbox One S supports HDR, so no reason why the Xbox One X would only allow it at 4K.
    Thanks, I hope that is the case. The S will not allow HDR unless output is set to 4K. Not to tout the PS4 Pro but it told me my projector would not support HDR in 4K but offered up "2k HDR" as an option. I would hope the X was as elegant.

    The upcoming X-Box Series X

    Yes, I currently own an X Box One X

    When does the new X Box series X release this year?

    Will it have blue-ray?

    I have a 65 inch, 4K television.

    Will I see a difference in graphics with the new X Box on my 4K?
    Xbox Series X will release Holiday 2020, given Xbox's track record of releasing new consoles, they've usually been around November.

    It will have Blu-Ray.

    With the Xbox One X, it uses checkerboarding to get 4K resolution, though it's not true 4K, it's what allows the One X to get to 4K,

    With the Xbox Series X, it will use true native 4K, you may see that the Series X will look a little better at 4K than the One X at 4K.

    Does 4K on xbox one x work on all games?

    Yes, the xbox one X and one S are 4K capable machines. However while the hardware can "support" it, you will still have better graphics on the One X as it is native and more powerful hardware. Since the one X can play all past xbox one titles, if a game
    is not designed for 4K that game won't be as visually appealing as a 4K title. If that makes sense.

    Netflix on Xbox One X won't play anything in 4K

    I thought that may be the case. But then I wondered why my 4K Amazon FireStick can still play everything in 4K. I mean, I can just watch all the 4K stuff on the FireStick and call it a day. But it just bothers me that I finally got a 4K tv and the Xbox
    One X and it won't play Netflix in 4K.
