    Xbox Series X - Problem with Dolby Vision


    Hello everyone,

    I just want to report my experience with Dolby Vision on Xbox Series X.

    I own a Sony TV, 55 inches X900F.

    The TV is 4K 60Hz fully capable TV, supporting HDR 10 and HDR Dolby Vision.

    The Xbox is connected to the TV using HDMI 3, which is the ARC HDMI, normally displaying 4K 60fps with HDR10.

    Two days ago I purchased the license for Dolby Atmos (headphones), which unlocked and installed the Dolby app on the Xbox.

    Yesterday I was browing inside the app, and among the different settings, I noticed the tab for Dolby Vision.

    At that moment, I forgot that Dolby Vision is currently available only as part of testing for Xbox Insiders, so I inadvertently clicked on ''Setup'' under the Dolby Vision section.

    A message prompted, redirecting to the main Xbox settings, under TV & Display Options.

    When it entered in the options page, the Info Banner on my TV popped up showing 1080p as the resolution (normally shows 3840x2160p).

    From that moment, the maximum output resolutions selectable (under Display - Resolution) were 720p / 1080p / 1440p.

    1440p was particularly surprising because is not even a resolution contemplated by the TV.

    Switching among the different resolutions was causing the image to be shown as thumbnail (not using the full extent of the display).

    Under Setup - 4K TV Details, all voices were with the red dot. Normally I have all green checks, except the three voices linked to 4K 120Hz.

    Restarting the console did not help, the console was then loading up at 1080p max resolution.

    I thought it was a HDMI cable problem, so I switched different cables but without result.

    I then proceeded to have the console reset (keeping apps&games) and finally the issue was resolved, with the TV now handshaking correctly with the Xbox, receiving the 4K resolution, and all checks under 4K TV Details section were correctly shown.

    Funny thing, under Volume & Audio Output, Windows Sonic was automatically restored for the headphones (instead of Dolby Atmos previously selected).

    I am not sure if I was the only one experiencing this issue, or if it is a bad combination between Dolby Vision not being fully implemented yet on Xbox and on the Sony TV.

    I just wanted to raise this technical issue, maybe suggesting that until Dolby Vision is not fully ironed out on the Xbox, to remove the option ''Setup'' for the standard users, to avoid any other similar situation to happen.

    Thank you everyone.

    :)

    green flickers when going to dashboard.xbox series x

    I have a series x connected to a Philips Amerlight 65pus8535 I get 5he silver metallic screen playing x/s dedicated games and it also appears while using Disney plus app from my tv apps! Is this a problem with my tv or is it a Dolby vision problem, I have turned off the dolby for gaming and this worked but in the detail list on my Xbox series x it says that the dolby vision may experience distortion?

    How do I make Dolby vision become active on 4 k uhd disc play back even when allow box has been ticked

    Hi I have a Xbox series x with a Dolby vision compatible tv also will the allow Dolby vision playback selected in settings on and it still only displays in HDR only when playing 4k blu rays ? I have set it 4k 60hz and the games display in Dolby vision plus streaming apps but not 4k disc playback! Is this correct that the xbox series can’t do this ?

    4K Blu-ray playback

    I do know about the gaming part. I was asking the question if the Xbox Series X could have the Dolby Vision added into the BluRay app so, that 4K BluRay movies can enjoy Dolby Vision as well.

    Dolby Vision - Blu-ray player app

    I got a response from Customer Service: no support for Dolby Vision on Blu-ray app on Xbox One X at the moment (not even on Xbox Series X).

    They said they are working on that, since a lot of people made complaints about this issue. I hope it's true, it's ridiculous to not support Dolby Vision nowadays on a device that has been promoted as a valid Blu-ray player.

    Xbox Series X - Screen Glitch/Distortion only during Game loading/static screens (not on any other app)

    I had the exact same problem which didn't start until today, and I use my Xbox Series X every day..

    Starting today, running any game would show me a screen like the op showed.

    I turned off Dolby Vision on my LG 55C2 like Jesse Mass suggested (THANK YOU!) and that completely fixed the problem.

    With regards to Dolby Vision...

    So it's either a TV update that went through (current software version 03.33.65) and changed something (but I didn't notice a recent update), or the Xbox changed something (though the last Xbox update was over a month ago).

    So I turned off Dolby Vision in the Xbox's video settings and now everything works fine (except for no Dolby Vision).
