my bad - I thought it was going to be a quick answer and it was more involved than I thought.

Try this: 1) Run an HDR game. Make sure that your X and TV are in HDR mode. 2) Shut down your X and TV. 3) Restart your X and TV. The X should return to HDR mode.

This pattern seems to cause most of my failures.

I would agree that sending your X to Microsoft would be futile.

Not sure I fully understand the step you're proposing. So if I start up an HDR game and then turn off the X/TV and switch them both back on again, I'll be returned to the dashboard on boot-up (which doesn't run in HDR on this console). Are you saying that most of your issues come from relaunching HDR content after the console's been off in instant-on mode?

It will only come back in HDR mode if you use the mode that puts the game in standby in memory. If it does a full shutdown then the XB1X will be in SDR when it comes up.

Unless that source is a 4K @60p game, it really doesn't compare.

Sorry, I left out a step: after power-on, return to the HDR game. It should be loaded in memory and start right away without going through the "cold start" process.

I do recall this generally not being an issue. I think it somewhat depends on the game as some seem to suspend better than others, but if I recall correctly, when I boot the console out of instant on mode it will usually start up and flick in to HDR without too much issue. Is it this process that causes your video signal to be lost more often than not?

Why not? Maxing out 18Gbps would show the cable can handle the full bandwidth....

It's hard to be certain because the problem is so intermittent, but I believe, in my case, the problem occurs when restarting a suspended HDR program (ACO typically) on the X. I would guess the failure rate is about one in ten.

When the problem does happen, I can switch to another HDR source, e.g., my Blu-ray, and 4K/HDR work properly. When I switch back to the X, the problem remains.

A full screen of smooth video, think of it like a full screen of white screen, will not as demanding as full screen of random flipping pixels. Games generated on the fly has more quick pixel changes between frames than any film/video.

Sorry, not buying that.

4k60 12bit 4:2:2 = 17.82Gbps

4k60 10bit 4:2:0 = 11.14Gbps

Not try to make it off topic. When a cable is sub-quality, what do you think it can't pass all the bandwidth? Do you think the cable counts number of bits and decided to drop after certain number of bits? No, in the end what transmits on the HDMI wire is an analog signal that changes up and down based on the bit flow. The transceivers on each HDMI port than translate that into 0 or 1s. So, if you all you need to send is all bit 1, all bit 0 or mostly the same bit, it doesn't really require a lot of bandwidth and any crappie cable can handle it. But if you send 101010..., this will require the highest quality cable in order to not drop the bits.

The compression used in all the video material are lossy which effectively drops those high frequency changes to compress the signal down. Games from the console or PC don't need this compression.

Again, not buying what you are trying to sell.

Using the Oppo to send 4k60 12bit 4:2:2 has pretty much been an established way since the summer to stress test HDMI cables up to max bandwidth. The owners thread is full of discussion on the topic and passing/failing cables.

Plus, as I pointed out the max bandwidth of 4k60 10bit 4:2:0 (what the Xbox is outputting) is 11Gbps. But I guess all of the bandwidth calculators and charts are wrong.

Finally got around to trying Wolfenstein 2 The New Colossus and immediately noticed elevated black levels, everything looked washed out.

Had to go into my LG E6 oled settings and change the picture options Black Level from Auto (washed out) to Low. If I set it to High, it goes back to looking washed out.

Now blacks look right, but I'm wondering why this happens and if its normal to set Black Level to Low?

By the way, it sucks Wolfenstein 2 was supposed to have HDR (at least that's all you see when you google it) and the devs never added it...

COD WW2 looks phenomenal with 4K+HDR

WOW!

Forza 7 looks INSANELY good in 4K/60 HDR on my 120" screen





at ~9' wide, this shot is almost actual size

Not just Forza...Ghost Recon Wild Lands 4K+HDR looks nice too

It absolutely does. 4K60 at 12-bit 4:2:2 is at the upper limits of what the HDMI 2.0 spec can handle and I personally tested it and it handled that signal without issue. Cables don't care if it is a game or a video, if it is the same refresh bit depth and color space, it doesn't discriminate.

Tried saying that. But his response is that video games are dynamically generating pixel data so it is more demanding on the HDMI cable

They didn't have any left when I picked up the X1X at BestBuy,
But I did good on amazon for $24 less

Wow it's easy to eat up storage space on a 1TB HD with 4K games

Well they clearly have no understanding that the cable has zero idea whether or not they are transmitting a lossy compressed video file that is decoded prior to transmission or a realtime rendered game. All the cable cares about is the resolution, bit depth, and color space.

The fact of the matter is that I could take a 360p30 4:2:0 8-bit on my Xbox or HTPC and upsample it to a 4K60 12-bit 4:2:2 and move to a native source at 4K60 12-bit 4:2:2 and the transport/cable will be none the wiser... the same signal is being sent for it. The cable/transport doesn't care about decoding, bitrates or anything of the like.

Conceptually I understand what Foxbat121 is trying to convey and it would make sense, if only cables/transports and the HDMI spec worked that way but unfortunately it doesn't.

The fact of the matter is that the One X cable is more than capable of delivering signals from any source within current HDMI 2.0a spec.

Ok need, my controller just stop vibrating.
Any ideas on how to fix that?

Thank you!!

Pardon my ignorance guys but in order to get Atmos do I have to pay for it through the app on the 1x?

Only if you have Atmos Headphones.

If not Bitstream our in audio settings and select Atmos.

It's a freebie
(I think it's $18.99 extra for the Headphone version only)

If it shows up in your app list,
all you need to do is enable it under sound settings under Bitstream-Home Theater





A couple decent Demo's (Hope they add MOAR!)

^^^Ok thanks guys, I didn't see pop up because I didn't select bitstream! Do you guys set it and forget it with atmos?

Yup set it and forget it.

That bitstream got me too, same issue and all was well after setting it.

The Dolby Atmos free program is great for testing too

Awesome just tested a few movies and COD WW2, and wow!

Yup and I added buttkickers to my setup too, Atmos and buttkickers are the ultimate COD experience.
