    Xbox Series X- Dim Screen setting causing Xbox to shut off.


    I just got my Xbox Series X delivered and setup yesterday. As I was trying to download games, I noticed it would shut off after about 10 minutes of not using it. I played a game for several hours yesterday without problem.

    I ended up narrowing it down to the Idle settings "Dim Screen after" X amount of time under Settings > Preferences> Idle Options. It was set to 10 minutes. I changed this to 2 minutes and then every 2 minutes of idle, my Xbox shuts off completely and I have to press the power button to turn it on. I changed it to 60 minutes (the maximum amount) and now it will go that long idle before hard shutting down.

    This is worrying me since I have an LG OLED and this setting was recommended to turn to 2 minutes to avoid potential burn in issues with the OLED. Anyone else having this issue?

    Hdr calibration tool doesn't work correctly when using hgig

    Yes it's the original hdmi cable for the xbox series x. I have tried hard resetting my tv and restoring my xbox to original settings without losing my games But still the same issue. I'm not sure but can shutting off the xbox completely while on the HDR calibration app cause this issue?

    Dimming while watching Netflix. Just started yesterday. Any fix for it?

    good evening

    It is possible that your device's power settings may be causing the screen to dim. To check this, go to your device's settings and look for the power or display settings. Try adjusting the settings to see if it helps.

    Sometimes, outdated software can cause issues with your device's performance, including dimming the screen. Check for any available updates for your device's operating system and install them if available.

    Some devices have power-saving features that automatically dim the screen or turn off the display after a certain period of inactivity. Check your device's settings and disable any such features that might be causing the issue.

    Xbox one S, Netflix dims screen when HDR is enabled

    I've had the same issue since the one S came out. The only way to stop the dimming effect is to shut off HDR in the Xbox settings. Not sure if this is an MS issue or a Netflix issue. But seeing as I can cast 4k hdr Netflix from my phone directly to the tv
    with no dimming, my money's on MS issue
