Xbox Series X Display Help

Excalibar22 · Mar 7, 2023

Hello, I am currently having this issue when I start up certain games on my Series X. It's like the image is negatively reversed (I think that's what I'm trying to say.) I will post some pictures to show you what I mean. It's only in the application itself. When I go back to the home menu, it shifts back to normal. I have tried resetting my TV, resetting my console and I have messed around with the TV settings and I have not had any success. If anyone can help, it would be most excellent.

:)

Hi Excalibar22!

Sorry to hear about the issue. When did this issue start to occur? Does it happen to all of your games or specific only to Xbox One games or Series X/S games?

Alternatively, try to use a different HDMI cable and try to connect it to a different HDMI port on your TV.

Hi,

Red Dead Redemption 2 on Xbox was only optimised for Xbox One X it hasn't been optimised for the Series S or X hardware. On the Series S it runs in Xbox One Backwards compatibility mode. As such, it runs at around 900P (around 1600x900). This means it will look quite soft looking on a 4K display, although it should not affect the colours or the contrast.

Unfortunately, RDR2 is not great on the Series S, especially on a 4K display. FIFA 23 is Series S|X optimised, which is why this game looks a lot better.

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.

X enhanced games are just for the one X not the S

As for 120hz though they can display it games are still max 60fps. The series x which is the next gen xbox will be able to do 120fps games

Thank you. I get the following error code when trying to display the colours on the Series X if it helps. For the gamer pics and themes, there are no error codes.
