Xbox series x - white flashing after opening netflix app on my 4k/60hz monitor

Kuba Bryniak · Dec 1, 2020

Hello, I bought new 4k display (samsugn u32j590) and i noticed that everytime i run netflix app my screen would flash every minute or so. Im quite sure that this is the problem with xbox itself and not my monitor. Have someone else expirienced the same
issue and are they any chances that microsoft will patch it?

Youtube works perfectly fine, other streaming apps like netflix or amazon prime are triggering the white flashing. My monitor doesnt support HDR, the game mode is off. I think i have tried changing every possible display setting both in my console and
in my monitor. The only thing that helps is changing resolution from 4k to Full HD but that is just a workaround and not the true solution, becouse i cant get full benefits from my 4k display

In Xbox TV settings try changing the bit rate.

Try any other streaming app like youtube, disney plus etc to see if those have any problems. Does your TV support HDR? If so, try turning off HDR and see does it make any difference.

Also try turning off game mode in TV while streaming Netflix.

Hello,

Sorry for my language, (google translate).

I'm looking for a monitor for my Xbox one X, ...

My question is, is it worth buying a monitor at more than 60HZ in 4k ???

Does Xbox One x accept more than 60 Hz ???

Thank you for your answers.

It is worth buying a 4K 144hz monitor for Xbox Series X, However you need to make sure the monitor has HDMI 2.1,

"Does Xbox One X accept more than 60hz ?"

At 4K , No,

Xbox One X uses HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.0 bandwidth can only do 4K at 60hz,

HDMI 2.1 of the Xbox Series X will allow it to go to 4K at 120hz, but only if you have a TV or monitor with HDMI 2.1, and a refresh rate of 120hz or higher.
