Hello everyone, If you're like me, you want the BEST video display from your Xbox One. There are a lot of settings in the Xbox settings and TV settings that need to be correct for your TV, and although Xbox includes some calibration I found the AVSHD 709 disc to be the best way to ensure consistency across devices: Xbox One, PS3, Bluray player, Xbox 360 (disc version not compatible with the 360, but you can download the video files necessary from the link). I used the AVCHD version burned to a DVD to perform my calibration. The patterns manual explains how to use this, but on the DVD version there is also a video from HD Nation that walks you through the steps too. Using this disc I found out my TV's black level setting was wrong for the Xbox One which caused me to lower my brightness- This effectively crushed the blacks in BluRay movies and games. Downloads are here: Again, make sure to read through the video or watch the HDTV Calibration video on the disc to understand what's going on. One thing to note: Games are all over the place in terms of their adherence to any sort of video standard.
Some games will look great with this set up, but I've found that some don't. Madden 25 looks washed out and a little dull, while Ryse Son of Rome looks beautiful (And the calibration is confirmed via Ryse's own screen settings calibration). Some games will have a brightness setting themselves so you may need to adjust/readjust this setting in the game after calibration. I used this disc as well. I found out my sharpness, color saturation and contrast were all off.
I surprisingly had to crank my contrast up to maximum, reduce color and reduce sharpness some more to remove ringing that I did not even notice before. I had to get used to the lower sharpness at first, but I can't stand anything higher than 20% sharpness anymore now. It just looks that much better. It pains me to know so many people are using their consoles on TV's that are currently not even close to outputting the image they should. Sven bomwollen.
Calibrate your shit, people. It's well worth your time. Yes, that is another good and free alternative to use.
I already had in my possession the Disney WOW calibration Blu-ray so used that instead. The great things about properly calibrating your set is to obviously gain the most natural/accurate picture quality, getting to know your set in a more in-depth way, significantly lowering power consumption and increasing the sets longevity. If you haven't yet calibrated then I highly recommend doing so.
It's worth the time invested. Yeah, that's actually why I liked the one on the xb1, before the xb1 i was using AVSHD to be honest. And I agree with you, AVSHD was the best solution for people like me and you. I just happened to like the one on the xb1, just because I like native apps and stuff.
I noticed that on the 360 and ps3 AVSHD revision 3 videos were suggesting to set your tv to expanded mode. How do you feel about that? Because I noticed that there was a debate whether or not users were supposed to use that expanded mode when using an HDMI standard hook up. People were saying that the expanded mode is only for colors when hooking up through a pc hookup?
See now i'm just getting confused talking about it. I noticed on the xb1 color settings they changed the wording from 'expanded' to 'PC' which I thought was pretty interesting. Interesting because if you set your tv to 'pc/expanded' color mode, you (or rather I was) will receive crushed blacks. Which, for anyone reading this that does not know what crushed blacks are, it means that you are going to have a flat black that you cannot balance not matter how much you turn up your brightness/contrast. And you are going to have some bad shadows in your games. Good for movies I hear, but not for gaming at all. Does all this sound accurate to you?
