dash bug discovered.

When playing lost oddysey yesterday I went to the capture settings menu to change my capture resolution to 1080p, and noticed it was set back to internal again, I changed it, and then checked where the new captures were stored, the good news is they were on external. So it does appear to be a cosmetic bug rather than functional.

I rebooted the console just now, and it was set to internal again, so it would appear people need to check that at the very least on every reboot and power up.

Personal use, Sales and orders, Chat and then Xbox, then wait anywhere between 20-30mins to an agent to arrive.
As long as you bought from MS direct you shouldn't have any issues.
Forgot to tell them my original warranty date was wrong so i have lost nearly 2 months warranty but at least it says 2023 now.

From Amazon as well, so it's 2 years cover form Amazon?

I would like to think Amazon would sort any issues after just 1 year, so if its 2 years thats great.
 
Any of you guys running your xbsx on a high hz monitor? If so what monitor, size and resolution are you using?

I'm in limbo at them moment. I got got a 60hz 4k TV I'll play single player games on. But to play games like Warzone I'm looking to get a 1080p / 1440p 120hz + monitor at the mid price range.

I have tried it on a 27" 1440p Dell screen @ 120hz. Looks/plays great.

They told me on phone its 2 years, but I would do what I did ring up and ask them to send it in email, because the website shows a 14 month return date limit, so you want it in writing.

The new dell nano ips monitor I been considering should fit your requirements S2721DGFA, it does 120hz over hdmi. Be careful, a lot of monitors seem to be limited to 100hz over hdmi.

I've just ordered the BenQ MOBIUZ EX2710 for my Series X. 1080P 120Hz.

I tried warzone on my againg C8 OLED and that supports 1080p @ 120Hz and I couldn't believe the difference very happy with it.

Out with the BenQ 4K/60Hz in with the 1080p/120Hz

Ill let you know what its like tomrrow.
 
What rechargeable battery packs are you guys all using for your controllers? I can't use the one from my old One X as the battery cover appears to fit differently. Thanks.
 
I've just ordered the Dell 32 Curved Gaming Monitor S3220DGF direct from Dell. It's currently reduced for Black Friday and there was a code on HotUKDeals for additional money off. Will work with my PC, Xbox Series X and PS5 :D

Yup, usb cable connected to pc and download the app. Automatically updates the headset for you. They’ve been flawless once the update, I should have checked sooner.

Cheers. All updated.

Had a go of Ori Wisps to demo the 120fps ... Wow on 2 fronts.

4k@120 is glorious on OLED, the drop in input lag is lovely. And the TB 700 G2 headphones have come alive in this game. The bass response is excellent and with Dolby Atmos the game is super immersive. I'm impressed.

Some eneloop pros and a smart charger.

Any decent batteries will do. Try and get the highest capacity, my ones are 2500mah each.
 
Some good monitors, I'll read up on them tonight. I think I just need something to bide my time for a year or so when hopefully 4k 120hz+ is at an affordable price.

I ordered through the MS Store so that's possibly why it just worked for me. But they've been saying over and over since launch that it isn't in the UK yet but it is now.

I just did the normal chat on the Microsoft Complete page, and selected Sales.
