Thanks i will give Dirt 5 a try and probably Gears 5.

Hopefully LG will release the DV 120hz update for the CX soon now that it's been officially released on the Xbox.


Tbh using a controller I don't find 60-120 as big an improvement as 30-60. Like I tried it with BL3 but wasn't a huuuuge difference but I know using mouse and keyboard it would be.

Gears 5 does not switch to Dolby Vision even though i have it enabled in the settings menu am i missing something :confused:
 
Game Pass and a Series S are a brilliant combination. Game Pass can currently be bought cheap by buying 3 years worth of Xbox Live Gold then signing up for Game Pass which converts all 3 years to Game Pass Ultimate. I paid £90 for 3 years, it can be bought cheaper depending on the deals at the time. In regards to games for a 7 year old I can't say, not my demographic but there are plenty of games available.

Cool. Think this is the way we're going to go.

He'll also need a TV too. It'll be for his room and I don't want to be paying mega bucks. Prob 32inch. Is there anything I need to look out for in terms of input latency? Or is this nothing to be concerned about with most modern TVs.

Did you deffo enable Dolby vision for games? It's a separate option now. I made this mistake as I knew I had normal Dolby vision enabled from the Xbox before.

Also of you had the game on quick resume you may need to quit it and reopen.
 
Play Forza Horizon 4 until 5 comes out in November.

Doubt you will get close to "completing" it before 5 arrives but be prepared for it to consume the chances of another game getting a look in. :D
I've downloaded the Horizon 4 and it's quite fun, I'll wait for 5, but I don't plan on getting Gold or gamepass, will I still be able to enjoy it?

Got the X for flight simulator and have a PS5 for everything else

Input latency is still a big problem, ranging from 10ms to 250ms. Only Samsung seem to universally have good input latency across their whole range.
 
I've turned Dolby Vision off, it seems to force standard HDR10 into DV and looks dreadful, Cold War goes yellow, for example.
