How to Change your TV Settings & Resolution on XBOX SERIES X|S (Best Method)
Optimizing your TV settings and resolution for your Xbox Series X|S is crucial for getting the best visual experience, whether you have a cutting-edge 4K 120Hz display or an older 1080p TV. The "best method" involves a systematic approach, adjusting both your Xbox and your TV settings in tandem. Part 1: Configuring Your Xbox Series X|S Display Settings This is where you tell your Xbox what kind of display it's connected to and what it should output. Open Xbox Settings: Press the Xbox button (the glowing logo) on your controller to open the guide. Scroll right to Profile & system (your gamertag icon). Select Settings. Navigate to Display Options: In the Settings menu, select General. Then choose TV & display options. Check 4K TV Details (Diagnostic Step - Recommended First): Before making changes, select "4K TV details." This screen is incredibly useful. It provides a comprehensive summary of what your Xbox detects your TV can actually support (e.g., 4K UHD at 60Hz or 120Hz, HDR10, Dolby Vision, ALLM, VRR). Use this information to understand your TV's capabilities and guide your choices in the following steps. If something isn't checked that you expect, it might indicate a TV setting needs to be adjusted or an HDMI cable issue. Set Resolution: Back in the TV & display options menu, under Display, select Resolution. Choose the highest resolution your TV supports: 4K UHD (3840 x 2160): For 4K TVs. 1440p (2560 x 1440): A great option for monitors or some TVs that excel at this resolution, often allowing for higher frame rates than 4K. 1080p (1920 x 1080): For Full HD TVs. 720p (1280 x 720): For older HD TVs. The Xbox should automatically test the selected resolution. If it looks good, confirm it. If the screen goes blank or distorted, wait 15 seconds, and it will revert to the previous setting. Set Refresh Rate: Also under Display, select Refresh rate. 120 Hz: Choose this if your TV supports it (requires an HDMI 2.1 port on your TV and the HDMI 2.1 cable that came with your Xbox, or another certified HDMI 2.1 cable). This offers the smoothest motion and lowest input lag. 60 Hz: Most common. If your TV doesn't support 120Hz, this will be your max. Important Note: Not all games run at 120 FPS. Setting 120Hz here just allows the console to output at that refresh rate if a game supports it. Many games will still run at 30 or 60 FPS, but the console's UI and 120Hz-enabled games will be smoother. ... Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourSixStudios?la...
