Be sure to remove it as your "home" console before you reset it.

Wouldn't resetting it remove all settings including that?

Get my S tomorrow - can't wait. Don't have any 4K or HDR capability (running on a projector), but needed a second one for my Theater room and the timing was perfect.
No, that's tied to your account. It takes a few moments to do it.

Shit I assumed it reset to factory. When I reset it, it started up as if it was brand new. Am I gonna have to go through setup and do that?
Na, just make sure when you get you new XBO S, the first thing you do is set it as your home console.

Started working tonight, which was a pleasant surprise. I still have my old xbox in my room right now so nobody could've done anything. Either MS support did their magic or it suddenly became available after 24hrs.
Also, Not sure about others but I love the feel of the new one s controller when playing overwatch & madden..
Another thing that I'm noticing is that the UI feels much more snappier and responsive than the original Xbox One. Most of all, they system is quiet while playing games. The original Xbox was pretty quiet but nothing as bad as the PS4.

It will work fine, I have the Denon 2200W and it works perfectly.
No it does. Resetting factory defaults clears all home associations of the console.
Oh, I didnt think it did. Welp you learn something new everyday.
Yes. I hope they update the YouTube app to support 4K soon.
Hey guys, quick question/concern. My One S (2TB model) is making a subtle clicking/ticking noise... starts up right when I turn it on. It's not terribly loud, but it's noticeable, especially coming from the silent OG model.
Here are some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivs9miYNhjc

Anybody else experiencing the same thing? Should this be a cause for concern? Is this just the fan noise? Basically, it doesn't run silent on idle.
I just transported my life across the country, and checked my One S in a bag full of clothes. Maybe this is what fucked it up? I honestly can't remember what it was like before I left because I only had it for a few days.

Does the Xbox One S support 1440P resolutions? I am planning to do most of my gaming on a 3440x1440p monitor I am thinking about purchasing and i was wondering if consoles would look fine on it over HDMI. (I'll have my PC hooked up on the displayport port.)
But if that is a no go I am considering just going with a full 4K monitor for guaranteed compatibility.

I am really surprised how many people use the system for streaming... do your TVs not already have apps that support 4k?
Finally
I really like Madden this year. The presentation is great.
I have no idea what it is but the Netflix app on my Vizio is frustratingly slow to use.

Slow processor. My older 1080p Samsung is the same way, but my 4k Samsung is much faster.
I'm not surprised at all. Unless you have an uber expensive TV or something, usually the console apps run smoother and are easier to navigate. Plus the consoles usually have better network connectivity as well, meaning better quality.
The Picture settings are 720p, 1080p and 2160p, no 1440p

It seems like either TV manufacturers or app developers are extremely slow with updating stuff on TVs. That's why I've mainly used either my Xbox or PS4 over my smart TV.

Anyone have any weird experiences with BluRays? I tried to watch Life of Pi and it looks horrible, like the brightness is up way too high. Changing the backlight setting seemingly changes the brightness and contrast as well.
Every other HDR thing I've played, streaming or on disc, hasn't required any calibration, which I understand is supposed to be how it's intended to work.
I have one of Vizio's current sets and I'd rather control my Xbox with my universal remote than mess around with the tablet they give you.

I believe with most HDR capable TVs that aren't OLED the back light and contrast goes up to the max. At least that's how it is with my TV. I have the Samsung JS8500 and won't be able to try a 4K Blu-ray until Amazon sends me the Revenant on Wednesday.
Secondly I would have to agree with you on not wanting to use the tablet
There can be only one home console designation per Microsoft account. One of you is gonna get the short end of the stick.

Is GameStop or anyone still offering a good trade in for the XB1 fatty 500GB?
Sitting on the fence.. I like my Halo CE XB1 in the living room.. but 4K goodness sounds enticing..
But then again imagine the deals during the holidays.. bleh.

TV apps are usually slow and they aren't integrated in the same way apps are on consoles in my opinion.

My TV apps require me to use an entirely different remote.. it's hard enough keeping the DirecTV and Xbox controller within reach..
That's what I thought. Thank you faer0n. I'll have to give 4K more thought.
Hmmmm, interesting.
Really pleased with the look of the system. I don't have a 4K TV at the moment, so I can't test out those features, but the system was worth it alone for the footprint reduction. Controller feels about the same to me, but the grip on the back is not as pronounced as it is on the Lunar White controller. I was taken back a bit. It's there, but it's not as sticky as it should be imo.
The fact that I can now get both of these on my desk with room to breathe is great.

Would anyone please be able to tell me what all of this means? It's a Samsung JU7000... bought it a few months ago and kinda bummed out I didn't do more research on 4K.

Your TV apparently does not have HDR.

It means you only get 4k and you will not get HDR.
Most older / lower end 4k sets just don't support it.

Thank you. Besides HDR, I'm not going to have any problem with 4K blu-ray or streaming?
Edit: Thanks everyone.

I traded my 500 gb One in yesterday to Gamestop and got 150 for it towards the S.

Please do. I would love to hear your results.
I also have the issue with my Roku 4 as well.
The issue appears to be way worse whenever the component does native 4k for the UI resolution as well (such as the Roku and One S) and not as bad if the content from the component switches to 4K.
I also have a Fire Stick but it has been awhile since I hooked it up but I do not recall any issue with it.
It could be my imagination but the issue on the One does seem WAY worse when the One Guide / Live TV is enabled.
Also from what I can gather the issue may be a result of the HDMI 5 port on the Vizio only supporting 10Gbps bandwidth and not 18. This comes from other people though who seem to know a lot more about this stuff than myself. So I am wondering if some people have updated HDMI ports and some do not. I had the latest firmware installed, etc. And for me it is not even like it takes a little while to kick in, as soon as I switch the One to 4k UHD it happens almost immediately and keeps happening. With my Roku 4 it was only once about every 20 minutes so I lived with it thinking it was just the Roku 4.
Good Luck. I do no doubt hope you are one of the lucky ones! And I also am real curious to see if it works without the One Guide. There is no rhyme or reason to it but it really seems to happen when it is set up.

So do all the 500GB/1TB models come with Halo 5? The Walmart.ca website listing isn't mentioning it.
