I have a 55inch LG Oled. @best3444 @skillzdadirecta @JPDunks4 @Kal-El814 @Spawn_of_Apathy @Keyser_Soze @TheLeon I did, though I don’t have an OLED, but I just wanted to make sure my white and black levels were tuned well. also check out your video modes under Tv & display > Advanced. You can set the max refresh rate, max resolution, variable refresh rate, HDR types, etc. So you can max out what your Tv supports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Since you're on a budget I would try out MS rewards to get points for either giftcards for games or just to get Games Pass for free. There is a reddit page for it which is probably the fastest way to figure out how to max out your points. Waste a few minutes a day, get some free stuff. I have Games Pass through July 2026 with enough points to have it extended through the rest of 2026. Games Pass is pretty fucking sweet when you aren't even paying for it. The UI might suck, but Quick Resume and Smart Delivery are awesome, and as SM said, all the upgrades to BC games are nice too. A lot of your favorite last gen games probably have free 4k60fps support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I find quick resume to be hit and miss for some of the games I play. For example, Remnant 2 will not even load past the character select if I let it quick resume. It is a constant loop of loading the title screen, the character select, and then back again. I have to completely close the game out. Halo Infinite would never register you being online if you quick resume the game. Kind of annoying.

Yeah, I think it's good for games that don't require being online. All games I've done it with work perfectly (Eiyuden Chronicles Rising, Tinykin, and Starfield) - On Tinykin I was kind of blown away, last time I played it was in March and then recently last month it was going off game pass so I finished it up. But I quick resumed from the quick resume from march and it was still there, so like 6 months and working like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gunna say yes...not 100% sure. I played Madden 24 yesterday from something I could download and I could only do practice scenarios but it was fun. I was actually completing passes and running the ball pretty well. It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Settings-> General-> TV & Display Settings-> Video Fidelity & Overscan: Change color depth to 10-bit. Don’t bother with 12-bit for two reasons: 1.) games and media are almost always coded in 10-bit HDR or Dolby Vision (those that aren’t 10-bit are 8-bit), 2.) XSX’s HDMI port isn’t full speed 2.1 (neither is PS5’s) so it can’t always handle 12-bit color depth and if it exceeds bandwidth it drops everything to the lowest possible settings.

I thought the Xbox cable was a full 2.1, 48Gps cable. The PS5 wasn’t at launch, it was only 40Gbps, but they’ve since gone with a 48Gbps cable too. Is that not the case? Everywhere I look online says they both a full HDMI 2.1. I know the big problem I have is I need an HDMI 2.1 switch and none I’ve found with any kind of IR or auto switching can handle a signal using the full 48Gbps. I’m not sure if it’s a voltage issue or not with power being drawn by the auto switching or the IR sensors, resulting in only being able to pass through 47 or less Gbps and so the screen goes black. Because when I unplug from switch and go directly into the Tv the image appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the bandwidth, they're within spec of what qualifies as 2.1, however the XSX is only capable of around 40Gbps. Sony was 32Gbps at launch but was updated to about 38Gbps iirc.

Could also be why I see people complain that Dolby Atmos or at least some implementations of them have sync issues on Xbox. Or I don’t know, maybe all of that is unrelated.
