Push the most out of your Xbox One with these tips for display settings and calibration.

While the Xbox One packs cutting-edge visuals for games and video, it's important to choose the right resolution settings for you. Making sure the output resolution of your console matches the maximum supported by your console ensures you're leveraging its full potential. To get the most of your Xbox One X and Xbox One S, 4K resolution can be enabled on compatible displays. Following the Xbox Spring Update, support for 1440p monitors is available too, alongside existing 1080p and 720p compatibility. By selecting the maximum supported resolution, you'll be getting the sharpest, most defined image possible. Connect your Xbox One directly to your TV or monitor over HDMI. Avoid using any HDMI switches and splitters to prevent throttling your maximum resolution. Open the Settings app on your Xbox One. Navigate to the Display & sound tab. Select the Video output tile. Choose the maximum supported resolution for your display. Check HDR is enabled

The color depth setting indicates the number of bits used per pixel to represent on-screen colors. Essentially, when set to a higher value, your Xbox One will output a wider range of colors, with more incremental steps between color values. Xbox One consoles can output signals at 24 bits per pixel (8-bit), 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) and 36 bits per pixel (12-bit), and while higher is often better, don't mindlessly crank up the value to the maximum. Both your TV and game content set limitations on how significantly increased color depth is reflected on screen, with most consumer displays not supporting 12-bit video. While HDR10, the standard used by Xbox One X, requires a 10-bit panel, many without HDR support only offer 8-bit. Open the Settings app on your Xbox One. Navigate to the Display & sound tab. Select the Video output tile. Select the Video fidelity & overscan tile. Choose your Color depth from the available options. Push the best with a PC monitor

Xbox One also allows players to customize the color space of the console, with "Standard (recommended)" and "PC RGB" settings available. Relating to different color spaces, this determines the which colors are displayed, according to your display's supported space. While PC monitors are built to output "RGB Full," TVs are often built to output a narrower space, known as "RGB Limited." By changing this option, you'll be changing how the video signal is sent from your console and colors are represented by your TV. Even though it might make sense to display the full RGB range regardless, using this on many TVs results in an unwanted side effect known as "black crush." When attempting to output full RGB, darker parts of images can lose detail, making certain scenes much harder to view. In short, PC RGB can be recommended for some PC monitors, though for many, especially those on TVs, the recommended standard setting should be used. Open the Settings app on your Xbox One. Navigate to the Display & sound tab. Select the Video output tile. Select the Video fidelity & overscan tile. Choose your Color space from the available options. Get smoother gameplay
