Does anyone here have a simple number can ring and talk to someone?

Google came up with this:
0344 800 2400

From here

(Bow to my skills if the number gets you through to someone)

Different number to what I found but seems to route to the same place.

Same menu options, and same kicking you off the phone when choose home use -> xbox

I appreciate you looking.

Oh wow, just noticed plague tale has a 60fps 4k update.

This looks and plays great, only bad thing for me is no option to turn off motion blur....

That looking interesting, downloading it now

Is it worth picking up a Series S if all I really want to do is play GamePass games from years ago. I don't have a gaming PC or even a Windows PC at all these days, and want to replay classics like DragonAge: Origins, 2 etc.

Sounds perfect. Hardly any if any of them will be in 4k anyway.

Yeah, one thing there - do they look ok on a 4k Screen, not tiny etc. I'm guessing the TV just downscales to 1080 or 720 or whatever.

And you need to upscale that either option so it doesn't really matter. What you might need to do is get an USB 2TB drive for £40 or something and use that as external storage. Most of the old games runs fine off the external drive.

The console will upscale it to whatever resolution you set the console to. Or if you set 1080p your TV would do the upscale work.

Great cheers folks. Ordered one, will be able to return it if needed.

Whats people's go to TV for series X at the mo? Currently using mine on a Samsung 40MU6000, but looking to get the most out of HDMI 2.1 and some 120hz goodness.

Any of the LG Oled 10 series or the latest 1 series are a good bet for the most compatible hdmi 2.1 ports and features at the moment.

LG 48”cx is what I’m using with my Xbox.
Absolutely beautiful picture although dark scenes in games are very very dark lol.
Used HDTVs settings from his YouTube video to get the proper settings.
But it’s faultless the TV set.

i bought a 65" CX with my Xbox, can't say I've noticed anything being dark and i left most settings as default.

You should set it up for your specific tv as there is always a surprisingly large variance with each tv, and what you describe definitely isn’t normal.

It’s the game I play ie Destiny 2 and others who have the same tv have said the same pretty much.
I actually don’t mind the dark scenes in the game etc. Other games are fine though.
