Xbox Series X|S - OFFICIAL News!

That's not an HDMI 2.1 TV, it's only a 50Hz panel...

Re updates, Samsungs and LGs have had 2.1 support for ages now, Sony have revoked their update as it was causing issues, expect it to be out in time for the PS5 though.

I wish I knew what those numbers meant. I only bought the TV a year ago ffs, so will have to do for now 😂

I think we figured my TV supports hdmi 2.1.. hopefully makes the most of a £450 console!

Philips 43PUS6554

Packing support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, the Philips 43PUS6554 is the better connected TV. Pixel Precise Ultra HD and Micro Dimming for optimised pictureUnique picture processing sets the Philips apart from its rivals.

Thats a HDMI 2.0 panel matey

 

[DeeKay86]

50hz means it has a refresh rate of 50. Meaning it is capable of 50fps.

HOWEVER that is according to RicherSounds - which is incorrect. The panel is actually capable of 60hz, so you are fine for 4K gaming at 60fps according to the Philips website (I had to look it was bugging me).

Unfortunately you can’t do 4K at120fps on that TV. Don’t worry though you will still have an amazing experience.

Doesn’t look like my Samsung qe55q6fam supports hdmi 2.1.... sad times.

As you say it will still look awesome. Just another excuse to upgrade the TV next year [emoji23]

Literally checked just now after seeing your message - Amazon now says it has been Dispatched as of 6:53pm. Looks like they will have a few hundred at least to scan in as they are loaded on to vans so I think you should expect yours to be updated quite soon!!

Cheers. Still not dispatched, but then I live within an hour of a distribution centre so things frequently dispatched in the small hours. Just hoping my bank don't block payment as I won't be awake to rectify it!

Most HDMI 2.1 TVs were only released within the last year.

Rock up there at midnight and demand they give it to you lol

 

[J203425]

I've just been hassling them on live chat

I've been assured it will be with me and that stock is sitting in my local depot that's circa 30 miles away. Will dispatch overnight.

Not really helpful if my bank blocks the payment, but looks like I'll have to risk it.

My console is coming from Microsoft, so if the Amazon one doesn't arrive it's my brother who will miss out.

Serves him right for being on early shift when the pre-orders went live 🤷‍♂️

LOL same here!! I have two coming and if one doesn’t arrive my nephew will have to wait !!

Just watched the London Xbox Launch Party and it was awesome! They had a huge Series X and had stuff being projected everywhere, like a mini firework display with holograms! Very very very cool!!

Yep I think you'll only really be seeing it on the latest models. I'm gutted really I got the LG C7 a few years back and it's really hard to justify getting the CX now just for an extra 60fps. Secretly hoping mine gives up the ghost seen as it's covered under a repair and support plan 😂

 

[DeeKay86]

Xbox has launched in London with an AMAZING Hologram show on the Millennium Bridge!! I watched them do this on the Launch Celebration livestream and it was pretty special!!

Got my DPD notification.. mine is arriving between 8 and 9 this morning

 

[Chris V6 255]

Out of office will be going on early today [emoji23][emoji23]

Mine is at my local Amazon depot in Doncaster. Doubt I'll see it before early afternoon, sucks to live no where near the depots 😂

Yay, just been delivered. 😁

Dreading the PS updates. Good job I'm working when it's released 😒

Lucky b******s. No time slot for UPS 😢

Bought Valhalla so that's downloading.. we'll see what time I actually get to play today

I suspect today could be a pretty unproductive day for the UK.
Get some more pics of fellas.
what games you going to be hitting first? @Cookie @SharkyUK

AC: Valhalla and a bit of FH4 I reckon

Interested to hear how Valhalla is as that’s on my game shopping list

All 3 of my (what I thought were good) TV’s have a refresh rate of 50/60hz, but all ‘4K’. Ffs.

Tbh you don't really need 120fps, a good HDR 4K TV will be enough to make the most out of these consoles for now.

Yeah hopefully.. it’s just planted a seed and now i’m looking. As long as Fifa and CoD looks good on my little Philips, i’ll be happy.

My Hisense was by far the best picture for gaming but it’s in my bedroom annoyingly.

It was satisfying setting the Xbox to 120hz tbf, but I doubt many games will make use of it. I know the LG panels are having issues with VRR at 60hz though, don't recall if they are having issues with it at 120hz

I'm just excited to finally have a 4K TV

No, it's only when using VRR and the frame rate drops. It's probably not going to be a huge issue, and will only effect grey areas.

Edit:

Update: Yes, we also noticed that with the LG CX you can measure a shift in the gamma curve when using the VRR. But we don’t want to spread panic now, we just want to answer the most important question, if this is bad:

It means that when you are using VRR, areas that are not black but very very dark (near blacks) will appear brighter than they should be. In OLEDs, this is only noticeable because of the almost perfect black level, which remains the same by the way. Nevertheless, LG OLEDs still follow the EOTF curve very closely, even with VRR enabled. Most users won’t notice this little flaw, especially if you aren’t looking for it. If your TV is not professionally calibrated it might even look worse without VRR. By the way, all LCD TVs with VRR look much worse in this regard.

120hz will be a smoother experience, but don't expect every game to be running at 120fps in 4k.

Most games will be aiming for 4k 60fps.

Coming from a 7 year old LG LCD it's unlikely I will notice a drop in quality on the CX

I wish it was spot the difference, I've gone from knowing nothing about TVs and being content with a low end Hisense to a TV nerd in the last 2 weeks 😂

 

[Stay Puft]

My Ring doorbell stopped working so I almost missed it!

 

[Stay Puft]

It’s f**king massive 😂

 

[DeeKay86]

Fellas....

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!!! The UPS guy at the door was like “this your Xbox??”

I said “Yes” and let out a squeal like some sort of rodent! LOL

He looked at me funny and smiled lol - I think he could tell how excited I was!

 

[J203425]

so my UPS order is on track for delivery by 13:30 if the tracking is accurate. However those f**kers at Amazon have completely screwed up on the 2nd console. Stuck on preparing for dispatch overnight, then email stating there's been a delay and they're dispatching now. More like you don't have stock you idiots.

Customer service drone reckons it will be here tomorrow. FFS
