Xbox Series X - HDR / YCC 4:2:2 Issue "Black Screen"

Aubanater The Frustraited · Mar 13, 2023

I'm encountering an issue with the Xbox series x and a ASUS 4K 60fps monitor. When starting a game, the picture is very dark and colours look terrible. If I go into settings, and enable YCC 4:2:2, brightness comes back and picture looks nice. Problem is, if I launch a different game, the screen fades to black for roughly 5 seconds and the game is washed out and dark again. I then go back into my system settings, this time disable YCC 4:2:2, the brightness and picture look fine again. Basically, every time I launch a game, I have to either tick or untick the YCC 4:2:2 setting to view the game in a HDR. This is a problem because it's not only frustrating having to change the setting every time I change game but it also stops me recording a with a game capture card "HD60s+" if I have YCC 4:2:2 on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Aubanater, this feature should only be checked if your TV is having issues displaying 4K and HDR. More info can be found here.

If changing to 10 bit, I would also suggest to turn off YCC 4:2:2

This will usually fix the black screen flick.

YCC setting is in, Xbox display setting.

Hope this fixes the issue!

No, When HDMI is selected, the image looks stretched and very pixelated.

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

JWIL83, from your report, the console is not able to identify your monitor settings.

Let's see if it's incompatibility.

I advise you not to configure anything in the image beyond what I will send you.

Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

Select System > Settings > System > Console Information

Select Reset Console.

Restore and keep my games and apps.

Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

When asking to pull settings from an old xbox, put no

You will have to log in your accounts again, that's all

Press the Xbox  button to open the dashboard.

Select System > Settings > General > TV & Video Options.

Select Video Fidelity and Overscan.

Under Display, select HDMI.

And see if the image looks normal on your monitor.

If you get an error, put it on auto detection.

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

Dérek Augusto

Just put it in automatic detection, as I sent at the end of the procedure, and at most configure the compatible resolution
