Thanks a bunch.
So for the audio, it seems I can only choose uncompressed 5.1 for the HDMI Audio option.
So am I better off connecting the console directly to my Home Theater?

Good question.. My B7 absolutely supports the full PC RGB range. I'll trying changing later tonight and see if it makes any difference.
Sea of Thieves at PC max settings and 4K is going to be mind blowing, hope they add it to the alpha build soon cant wait to try it.
As your receiver supports HDCP 2.2 you should absolutely connect to the receiver first. (as long as it supports HDR)
On Xbox the gamma curve for the full range used to be messed up so blacks would be crushed. Not sure if it still is.
Beyond that though there is no reason to set it to full when using a TV. Limited ensures you still get correct video playback. And as long as your TV settings match games will be great too.
pl
plug and play honestly. It does help you mess around with the tv in the settings of the console. Once you set it up just make sure it automatically switched to displaying 4K because for some reason it started at 1080p for me until i loaded a game and it asked if i wanted to switch to a 4K output.
For anyone wondering, it's perfectly fine to play whatever you want on top of a network transfer.
Yes. Everyrhing shoukd plug to AVR and AVR to TV.
If your AVR does Atmos you can just select butaream and Atmos and it will use 5.1 or 7.1 when no atmos
On the ps4 pro if I had it on limited it would set HDR colors wrong so I left it on automitic which used Full, on the xbox one x I see no difference between standard or pc mode ,even with HDR enabled, so I just left it on pc. LG E7 tv. The ps4 pro likes to use rgb full on automatic on my LG which gives crushed blacks, so when I play a non HDR game I just switch to limited.

Just got my Xbox One X set up. I bought ff15 real cheap despite having it for PS4 Pro. It is disgusting how good that game looks one the One X. WOW.
A small patch has been deployed for Xbox Only to improve visuals and performance on Xbox One X - Titanfall 2

probably some algorithm that would drop the resolution too low when it was supposed to be another standard or something like that
So either all my Skyrim mods got nuked with the latest update or the move to Xbox One X, I'm not sure which.
I got the latest insider build and it does seem to be fixed.
#7 is the first thing I noticed about the packed in controller. My A button sticks and it's driving me crazy. I've played on a dozen Xbox controllers including the elite and this is the first one with a sticky button. I was going to call support to replace it but it's the Scorpio edition and I know they wouldn't send me another one
I hope Digital Foundry does a small update, I'm not sure if the really fixed everything with that. Maybe they just noticed 1 or 2 small things and the rest, like the worse textures in comparison to the Pro version that you have everywhere is still there.
Yup. But... the network transfer speed does drop a lot when doing so.
It looks pretty good. I prefer 60 fps though. Halo 5 is my jam today. Wish I could turn off the helmet HUD :/
X has brought out my graphics whore. Id been playing Overwatch non stop since it came out. Now I cant stop playing Halo 5 and Gears 5. Gears with HDR is particularly impressive. And Halo, its crazy what a difference just 4K makes. Looks like a different game. Now Overwatch almost looks SD to me lol.
I had this same issue they are sending me a Scorpio controller replacement. I'll give an update when it arrives to see if it is just a generic model or a scorpio edition (it does say scorpio on the order). You can also try to take a straw and cut up the ends so it fits around the button and move it around the button.
I bought RotTR on clearance at Walmart tonight (damn you Xbox One X enhanced games) and haven't had any issues.
Right left a bunch of stuff on background download, Halo finally finished. Looks a really nice upgrade even on a 1080p screen. Fingers crossed for no issues with it.
This my question as well, guess it will all come down to budget.
Looking for clarification on this as well.
Just finished Gears 4 .. O M Gawd! What a Stunner.. Looks beautiful, plays great, I just love me some Gears, lol. Loading up Quantum Break now to play.. can't wait.. these games I held off on until the X released same for the Witcher 3 DLCs..
Sadly, I finished Halo 5 pre-X so I'm holding out to play it later but so far.. what a damn good purchase the X has been.. my first UHD player and movies look amazing.

So far it looks like I don't have to, but it's still in the early stage of fulfillment so I won't know for sure until it ships out.
How large should my halo 5 install be? Kotaku says 107 gigs but my install shows 97 gigs. Is the save data it creates 10 gigs or something for forge?
There was a patch recently that took out 10GB to help save some space.
I'm not sure if this is interesting or useful to anyone, but I did a little more testing with the X1X tonight, focusing on power draw and noise. As with last night, I measured the output with the phone directly on top of the X1X, but separated by a 1/2 rubber pad to minimize vibrations. My tv is a Panasonic VT65 VT65 1080P plasma, so the X1X is down sampling for my purposes. Power draw was measured using a Kill A Watt P3.
Power draw at outlet, standby mode: 13 watts
Ambient room noise: 22-25db
As above, with X1X on at dash: 22-25db
As above, with WD 4GB My Passport Ultra plugged in: 24-27db
As above, with TV turned: on 24-27db
As above, power draw at outlet: 47 watts
Game observations:
COD WW2 averaged 29db with 156 watts measured at outlet (Stronghold mission)
Return of the Tomb Raider was 32db in performance mode (162 watts), and 33db average in enhanced mode (183 watts). I did not try 4k mode downsampled.
Wolfenstein II averaged 33db with 199 watts measured at outlet
FM7 averaged 32dB and 151 watts measured at outlet (4 lap race at Homestead, overcast turning to rain)
Titanfall 2 averaged 33dB and 173watts measured at outlet (post patch today)
Since Wolfenstein posted the highest decibel reading at 33, I measured it at my normal seating position 9' away, which yielded 23db; so in my case, the sound dropped off considerably.
Despite the fluctuations on the power draw between the different games, the sound at the console remained fairly consistent.

Playing Gears and Tomb Raider in 1080/60 has been (Gaming) life changing.
As someone who still has a 1080 set, my One X is dead silent. Does pushing to 4K make the console work harder? I have a friend who claims his fans kick in when playing, but the console goes silent back at the dash.
Is it really better to pick 10 bit if your panel is 12 bit? I know Mindhunter on Netflix supports Dolby Vision so 10 bit wouldn't display the image accurately.
I just want to make sure I am getting the most out of this display, since I am an idiot when it comes to this stuff. I have the console connected via HDMI. The FreeSync is on Extended with Fast Response time. Super Resolution is High, Sharpness is 100.. I read places where some monitors have 4K disabled on certain ports. I just want to be sure my display is on the best settings.
Appears that the save might have corrupted? I am re-installing and was able to play through a bit of the beginning without an issue.
In case I have to end up doing this, who do you contact for a replacement?
