Xbox won't display on 720p but will on 1080p TV

JerryCook7 · Mar 17, 2020

Hopefully someone can help. I've searched but cant find the solution. I have an Xbox One that was hooked up to a 720p TV. I stopped displaying recently when I disconnected it. I plugged it into a TV that is 1080p and it works just fine. I've plugged
it into a 2nd 720p TV and it won't display. All TVs work, all ports work, all HDMI cables work. I've changed the display settings on the Xbox and it doesn't matter. Any help?

the TV and select 720p. If you have an oddball TV that supports both 1080p and 720p input, but only has a 720p display, then I would test and see which plays better - the scaler on the Xbox One or the scaler on the TV.

Did you buy the Xbox one used?

Sounds like your trying to display 1080p on a 720p TV.

@ Icestorm

If a tv was only 720p, would you set it at 1080p or 720p in the console display settings, and would it make any difference?

Since your set is 720p, use 720p. The vast majority of 360 games are 720p anyway, so this is a no-brainer. The games are 720p, the display is 720p... Why use 1080p? Since your TV is 720p, anything you send to it at 1080p is just going to get scaled back
down to 720p, where it started to begin with.
