Xbox One X

Not really impressed with my purchase so far due to the controller issues. If I use instant on then the controller will not start the console, if I press the power button on the console instead it actually then turns it off(because it's in standby). The only way to stop the problems is to power down completely every time meaning no background updates or suspending any running games. Not what I expected from a cutting edge console it must be said.
its an odd one, never had an issue, until i took my xbox to a different adress for a week. did the same i had to switch it on twice. now back home, comes on first time as usual... both instances plugged directly to the wall. maybe an electrical thing with the property? im no expert

edit,
always stayed on after pressing the front button again.
 
argh!!! typical. Played on FH4 this morning for abour an hour. Switched everything off, came back a bit later and now there's no signal coming from the xbox x. Tried a different cable, and moved it to a new TV. Nothing. Did a reset, still nothing!!!

any ideas how I get my saves off it as my gold has expired :-(

Both of you using surge protector?
 
I wasnt going for the price of OLED, another reason is the sizes seem to be all rather BIG, was looking about 50" at best.

With BF shortly wait for those deals and the retailers to try and beat each other.

buy from either John Lewis or Richer Sounds as really good customer service and long warranties, unless other retailers have a stellar deal and 5yr+ warranty at the time.

How far do you sit from the TV?
 
Yea was going to wait for BF and see if theres deals on the X and Tvs, thing is if I have an idea of about 3 or so sets, easier to find a good deal if that makes sense.

Approx 8/9 ft from wall.
 
Anything in particular to look for if ordering a 4K screen with the X, in terms of compatability etc?
HDR is essential. Also HDMI 2.0 spec ports as you need that for @ 4K with HDR as it requires 18Gbps bandwidth which means HDMI 2.0 spec or newer I believe. Also make sure you buy a HDMI 2.0 spec cable to connect it to the screen! HDMI 1.4 will not pass HDR @ 4K. You can spend about £2K for a 50-55" OLED or save £1K & just get a non OLED. I would look at LG first they do some great sets. Try to avoid the budget brand sets as the HDR is weak. At 8-9FT you really need a jumbo screen size though 65-70" which would cost you a lot of money nowadays!

Definitely go HDR, try to stretch for OLED if you can afford it. I picked up a refurbed LG recently (the wallpaper model) and the picture is leaps and bounds ahead of my Samsung which was only a couple of years old.
