meh, still think 4k sets are overpriced / too new / standards too nascent.

been saying that since i bought my 1440p monitors years ago, still think i have around 3 years until i give any fucks about 4k or HDR personally.

figured this was the case.

"okay fine, i'll buy a fking house! for the TV, for the TVEEEEEE!"

Eh it's not like I would not buy one. The thing is manufactors only invest in good tech for bigger sets.
I mean there are very good 4K HDR monitors coming next year and I will get one for my PC - I see no reason there can't be good 40" TV with actual good HDR and no compromises.

Yea I have to say I'm not seeing that great a difference in hdr on the DF Gears video on my TCL 605 Fald. I mean it's certainly on and I see but I am not blown away..... A little disappointed tbh with my tvs hdr I guess but I do appreciate it in games but it does not WOW me.

Could be your TV settings. Make sure you don't have your auto backlight set too high. On my LG LCD setting auto dimming to medium or high really destroys those HDR highlights. But low or off they look fabulous.

Is there any change to overwatch when playing on an X? My friend said hes buying an X mainly for overwatch, and I was kinda confused because I thought there was no patch for it. That game is already extremely smooth for me on my original xbox one

It will be on 1080p now all the time. As it uses dynamic re. And the end screen with the characters in no longer blurry. :D
There is indeed no patch for it.

Sorry if it's been covered but do we know from impressions how good the 4K BR player is? I heard the one in the S wasn't so hot.

I have the same set. I had the same thought until I turned down my backlight, and calibrated some settings on the TV. Now it is certainly recognizable. I'm not sure how much time you have spent calibrating your settings but it is certainly worth the time to do.

Speaking of calibration, are there any good online tools for that? I just got the Sony x900e (65" Bravia) and I feel like the calibration is just sort of all over the place and I'd like to get it tuned by Tuesday.

I know of the rtings site but I've seen many different suggestions so I just gave up on it for a while :p

Are there 360 game improvements from MS or the devs going in and updating things, or are they just a result of the higher resolution and texture filtering?

Edit: More Gears gameplay

I hear you.

I'm just not a fan of early adoption with regards to display tech, always so shitty compared to what comes out 2/3 years later [price wise, standards wise, etc].

If I wasn't so happy with my 1080p TV and 1440p monitors [as well as my 1080p 60hz zero input lag gaming monitor], I would be inclined to upgrade... but 4k still isn't standard, and I'm just not moved to upgrade anytime soon.

Any word on how un-patched BF1 runs yet?

It's only 4 specific 360 games so far that have gotten enhanced (extra pixel count and 10 bit color unlocked) through a method that doesn't touch the game code. All 360 games will get system wide enhancements that include 16xAF and hitting it's target framerate more often or all the time.

Those Gears of War 4 shots are so clean looking. Pretty pumped! Just need to have a few more key titles have the Xbox One X patch released prior Tuesday. Specifically for me: Witcher 3, Project Cars 2, The Division, ESO, Wildlands.

Finally got my Xbox One X from Taco Bell! Won't be keeping it, but I know that hardcore Xbox fans are not gonna be disappointed with this beast. Hope you all have fun with your new shiny consoles!

I certainly wouldn't call Overwatch extremely smooth on Xbox One. The resolution is poor and it tears quite a bit as well. Blizzard will definitely make a X patch for it.

I thought that the ACO Xbox One X specific patch was not out yet? You can clearly see some improvements in that bottom shot big time. Just wondering if this is just the system outputting it higher or if the specific Xbox One X patch hit?

The patch did drop yeah. It just didnt move under the enhanced tab yet.

How do you check if a game is enhanced??? Downloaded the 15gb~ update for Halo 5 and I just want to make sure I'm not getting a placebo effect. I'm playing on a 1080p TV and the game looks really sharp now.

RB + LB + Menu + start
It says if the game is X1XE true or false.
Some games or apps say 'assets installed Scorpio'
If X1XE is true and/or assets say Scorpio it's enhanced

Really impressed by how quiet this thing is. It's makes about the same level of noise as the PS4 amateur I used to have, which is impressive considering the hardware inside. Good job, MS.

Only thing I'm still not feeling is the UI, but it's not bad. Wish pins could be grouped like in PC Windows 10, unless I'm missing something here.

On a another note, I kinda wish I had gotten a 360 in addition to my PS3. All my last gen games are on the latter outside of the free ones MS gave away (Lost Odyssey & Witcher 2).

You'll get used to the UI. Once you do you'll start to dig it more.

Anyway, Gears and Halo look like new games now. Incredible.

From 'quake area to big OH.
I've been fine with the UI (all iterations). At first there are a few pains, but in a few days I'm learned. The past 3 weeks I've been on the PS4 while using Netflix etc. to take care of the baby, and I don't like that UI.

Everyone has a preference I suppose.
