    Xbox randomly went into widescreen and wont go back to full screen.


    And this just happened randomly while I was in a game too. At first I thought I had hit my remote and changed the display setting maybe, but that has not been the case. I've gone through every setting in my TV, but the problem is on the xbox because I can have my TV settings open and it be displayed in full screen while the xbox screen only takes up the middle third of the screen behind it. I've tried resetting my xbox, and doing it to where I hold down the eject button. I have tried messing with all the setting I can in the xbox, but everything seems to make it smaller. I really have no clue what to do now

    Xbox randomly went into widescreen and wont go back to full screen.

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community, and we're sorry you're having this issue. Seeing what problem you are having I suggest you try the steps below before we try any different solutions.

    Try testing your console on another TV or Monitor if possible

    Change the HDMI port your console is connected to the tv and also the console itself

    Try plugging the console directly into the power outlet, without using a line filter

    Try testing the console on another power outlet

    Try using another HDMI cable if possible

    - If none of the above steps solve the problem, I suggest you try the solutions below.

    'Solution 1:

    Step 1. Press and hold the Xbox button on the console for at least 10 seconds to open the Power center.

    Step 2. Then unplug the power supply from your console and wait for 3 minutes.

    Step 3. Plug the power supply back into the Xbox console.

    Step 4. Press the Xbox button on the console to turn it on again.

    Solution 2:

    Press the Xbox button on your controller to bring up the guide menu. Once you see it, use it to access the Settings menu.

    Once you’re inside the Settings menu, navigate to Display & Sound > Video Output > Video Fidelity & Overscan.

    Once you're inside the Video Fidelity & overscan menu, look under the column listed as Display and you should see a TV connection with a drop-down menu. By default, it’s set to Auto-Detect (Recommended). To fix the issue, change it to HDMI, and then confirm that you want to override your TV settings.

    After you manage to complete and confirm the operation, return to the Display menu and change the resolution normally. You should now see the full list of available resolutions (not just 640 x 480).

    *Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

    will the Xbox one have cinema zoom to get rid of the black bars for Blu Ray like the 360 had for dvd?

    Wont know until we get there, but lots of modern Blu-ray players offer the full screen or widescreen option these days, so your chances are reasonable.

    TV wont go full Screen

    is this on live tv, or when playing a game? If it's on like tv, hit the menu button on your remote and then select stretch as your display mode. if it's not correct when playing a game, check your tv menu settings and make sure it's set to stretch
