Xbox Series X Flickering

I cannot find the post again, but IIRC I saw people mention the electricity cable, some had to change it completely and some just had to turn it 180 degrees (switch holes/pins on Xbox energy cable).

Not 100% sure but worth a try.

Hi CA Jogi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you struggle with flickering issues on the series X. When you mention that you are using a 4k/60hz monitor, are you using a PC monitor or TV? IF you have attempted this on three other displays and have done all other troubleshooting steps. MY recommendation is to start a service order and send in your Xbox for repair or replacement. Let me provide you with the link to how to do this.

I have exactly the same issue today with the Xbox Series X but not the S.

"issue with flickering pixels that only happen on the menus of the console, but not in game"

tried multiple displays and multiples HDMI cable.

Do you have any news update?

if you read the original post he stated he already did that, this is a known issue with freesync and va panels.

it's a VA panel, they get the same thing on PC, it's a lottery if you get one that does not do it, setting at 60hz or disabling freesync fixes the issue, it is definitely a common VA panel type issue, i had a 32" va 144hz panel that drove me nuts.

It's when the fps drops below the freesync range or has multiple drops and causes the brightness to flicker, happens more on loading screens but can happen in demanding games too.

the higher the hz the brighter the va panel gets and obviously when it drops it flickers and they usually hate lfc too.

plenty of forums about the issue, just check out blur busters for it too.

i loved the image on my VA panel, dark blacks, vibrant rich colour, now i am on an IPS panel
