Күн бұрын

The best upscaling resolution settings for Xbox Series S on a big 4K TV. In this video we look at how you can get the best picture quality from the Series S, and answer a number of common questions. Should your resolution be set to 4K, 1440P or 1080P? Can this console run any games at native 4K? Should you let the console or your TV do the upscaling? What 4K TV size is best for the Xbox Series S?
Here’s a list of games that run at native 4K on the Xbox Series S: Hades, Kingdom Hearts, Red Dead Redemption, Evil Dead, Ori and the Will of Wisps, Mass Effect Collection, and Crysis Remastered.

Owning both PS5 and the Series S, i can honestly say the series S provides much better quality on streaming apps like Netflix and Disney+

Great video Tom! I have a question if I buy Xbox Series S just for 4K 60hz , will it be some smooth gameplay? And how much fps? Because my max budget is of 696$. Can you provide me the best console and leave some dollars for monitor? Will be happy to hear your answer😅

Can now New-gen fifa 23 run on an "xbox Series-S" with "120fps" at atleast 1080p with variable refresh rate now or is the game is capped at 60 fps. Really in need of this info for a purchase decision.

@PeteNice29 5 ай бұрын

When you drop resolution you can increase refresh. For example, 8k at 60Hz vs 4k at 120. So yes, it should easily run 120Hz at 1080p.

Yeah you should get 1080P for most games but no guarantee you will for the rest of the generation. I think this generation could be a long one…

I believe the console is native 1440p. So yes, there's a bit of scaling, but not that much.

Please anyone.. i need help 😅.. i connected my series s to a Toshiba 43“ 4k TV and set the xbox to 4k UHD output .. BUT in the menu you can already see that icons arent sharp but pixalated or grainy and this happens also in game .. text is grainy and just looks like the pixels where big as a rock .. its just not pretty 🙈.. so is it my bidget friendly TV or the Xbox that causes the problem :) .. ???thank you guys

I’m really not sure, even a budget 4K TV should be very sharp if you have the correct settings. The only way to be sure is to try another 4K TV…

@PeteNice29 5 ай бұрын

People that say the image is "sharper" are witnessing the effects of the TV's internal scaler. Anytime you're using more horsepower/processing from the display or console, you're introducing latency, even if game mode is activated.

@@marcusai210 it doesn't make a game better if you see slightly more detail on objects. Series s also got the power to display "next gen" tech like ray tracing. I also have the S with 4K tv, but im not a big gamer so I'll stick to the S. Also I like the S design better and don't need a blueray player.

If your tv is 4K then you should have 4K as a choice in your display settings when you open the drop down menu for Resolution.

It's a setting so some tvs that the xbox doesn't like. The xbox s is a brick when it comes to it communicating with the TV what the best TV setting to get 4 k is play station ps5 sense the TV the. Gives the best possible setting just by connecting a 2.1 HDMI. Took me 2 hours to get some werid setting right on my TV to let it go up to 4k. Check when make a.

I have the 2021 55 inch v series and it upscale 4kuhd great👍 I recently updated it and I now have Variable refresh rate. It makes 4k gaming smooth but still is hard on the xbox processor. The new update took away 1440p and now the only other resolutions are 720p, 1080p, and 2160p. If you try to put it on 1080p with the default tv gaming settings, the sharpness of the tv won't fit the resolution of the console. So if u use 1080p on the v series 55 inch u need to downstate the sharpness, backlight, and gamma too fit the consoles 1080p settings. Hopefully this helps you because I struggled to figure out the best settings for the tv. Personally I just leave it on 4k uhd with the default tv settings and it looks and plays great just a little hard on the console you will notice it gets hot lol.
