Xbox one x won't display in 1080p (beta)

Hi,

The Series X supports 1080P resolution in the settings same as Xbox One and One X. Games on Series X will still render in 4K, but will downscale to whatever display you have. There won't be any loss in quality at all.

Hi,

Unlike the base PS4 Pro and the PS4 Pro, HDR on the Xbox One X and One S requires a 4K display to be enabled on the console, it won't work on a 1080P display, be that a TV or Monitor.

This is because on release the PS4 hardware had the necessary built in graphics processing power to run game in High Dynamic Range, while the original Xbox One did not.

Sorry.

Best to leave it as it is. There won't be any performance penalty, none enhanced games run better on the X than the standard console anyway. The One X will automatically scale 1080P games to a 4K display - obviously they won't be proper 4K. But, they
should look better than dropping your console resolution to 1080P, therefore forcing your TV/Monitor to use it's own down-scaling, which may not look as crisp.

While 4k gaming is the major benefit of the Xbox One X, I believe you will still see some performance benefits when using the Xbox One X with a 1080p display.

The Xbox One fat goes to 720p the S version at 900p and the x goes to 4k native video quality changes, but it mostly depends on the developers

That's incorrect.

RDR 2 runs at 864P internally on both original Xbox One and One S. Original Xbox One can upscale this image to 1080P, while the One S can upscale to 4K.

Only the One X runs the game natively in full 4K, with a dynamic scaler in action.

It's important to stress that there is a big difference between upscaling, and running a game natively.

I would say running this game on an original console or One S on a 1080P display won't be too bad, but would look quite soft - or washed out on 4K display, unless you're playing on the One X.
