I bought that on the cheap a while ago, really enjoyed it, seemed to fly a bit under the radar.

Might go back to check out the X enhancements.

Seriously? I have that exact same model in 55" and 43". These TVs just updated to android nougat a few weeks ago. Awesome stuff. I've got my one x set up as 12 bit, suppose I should set it to 10-bit...

Got my X set to 12 bit , says it’s compatible with my tv .. is it better to stay 10bit then ?

I set mine to 10 bit.

LG B6 supports 12bit, but the Xbox One X doesn't do Dolby Vision anyway.

Very very few TV's are 12bit. If you're running HDR then you need a 10bit signal. Sending 12bit shouldn't stop it from working, you just won't gain anything either.

True dat:

Note: Current TVs max out at 10-bit color, but sending a 12-bit signal helps to allow processing (like white balance adjustments) to be enabled without adding banding.

Bought it anyway along with tomb raider.

Well I didn't get an amazing deal but I paid £423.98 plus whatever I can sell Forza 7 for.

It feels odd as I've been on PS Plus since the day it launched and have 11 years of 'progress' on there, feels like I'm taking a step back in that regard even if it ultimately means nothing.

Nipped in to Game and they had miss labelled evil within 2

one copy was 24.99 matching the digital price and all the others were 29.99 so I took it up and they honoured it. Also gave me a crappy metal plaque for some reason, pre-order bonus maybe

Don't forget that if you buy £50 Xbox credit from cdkeys you can get it for about £44 using Apple pay or with Facebook code, either give five percent off.

I am using a 4tb Seagate Expansion usb 3.0 drive on my One X, works really well.

Decided not to go for the MS green xbox branded one.

Cheers all

Thanks very much mate.

Question about the expansion drives. I can get a 7.200Rpm 2TB Seagate drive powered by mains for same price as a USB powered 2TB Seagate drive but its 5.200RPM so which one?

So tempted to get an X for Xmas, is it worth the huge chunk of cash over the S? I bought a Samsung KS7000 earlier in the year specifically for 4k/hdr gaming and am now debating the cost lol.

Jimbo · 17 Nov 2017 at 19:25

Get it I got a KS7000 and a PS4 Pro and its awesome. And tomorrow my Xbox one X.

We have the same tv

I thought wolfenstein 2 was HDR but it seems not? Or am I being silly? How do I check a game has been patched with the X enhancements?

Go to my games & apps section and in the top right corner you can filter your games into xbox one x enhanced games and it will display what games have been updated.

Thanks! Upon googling all I could see was posts from July saying it will have HDR so was a bit confused

Thanks

I didn't know what to set my xbox one X too so I left it set to output 36-bit :eek:

I was expecting more from wolfenstein after the reviews and praise in the forum's. Looks good but I wasn't sat there thinking it looks better than halo 5 or gears 4
