this is also happening to me with my XBOX One S on my Vizio M55-D0...looks like i may need to call vizio today...drops to black with no way around it...i've tried numerous HDMI cables (but seriously, shouldn't the one with the XBOX be good enough) to no avail...

Did you allow it to set up 4k automatically or did you go in settings and change anything? Also, are you using the hdmi in for tv?
let it set up itself and then checked all the settings...its HDMI-1 and subsampling is on...i am not using the HDMI in currently (i was the first night)

I have a feeling it could be something with the hdmi in. Is there a way you could reset it and not have anything going in the hdmi in to test it?

Yep, patiently waiting...
Anyone notice that it does not upscale regular blu ray disc?
is there somewhere to do it online?
I just registered the One S (already had my regular One & Kinect registered) and called in yesterday...had tracking by the end of the day yesterday and am getting it tomorrow...it shipped FedEX 2-day.

You have to contact Xbox support to do it once your One S is registered, I did it via chat. They have info about that on the support page.
My adapter shipped a few days ago, which was a 3 or 4 days after I contacted support.

Damn. Sorry to hear that.
I will know a week from tomorrow if the replacement Vizio is offering is will fix the issue or not.
Solid theory. However thinking about it some more, I do not believe this is a reason anymore myself. I know I said I could not help but notice people having the issue were using the One Guide and Live TV, however now I believe it is irrelevant. Unfortunately I believe I have a very good reason as to why as well. I have (and have had before getting the S) the same exact issue with my Roku 4. And it is also only when it is set to 4K.
So I do believe it is the Vizio TV's, themselves and because I believe this and I know it is not all TV's thanks to you and XBudz, I am pretty certain it could have been a manufacturing issue. Companies can and do often change components providers. Hell, it could have been the same provider but an issue at the factory itself with a certain batch that appeared to be working but was actually not.
Simply put, it could have been a combination of not the best quality control and you get what you pay for. Because let's face it. I know I purchased a Vizio myself as it was not only well reviewed, but it was less expensive. Also truth is when they came out there were not a whole lot of external components like the One S and Roku 4 doing 60hz 4K signals, and the ones that were available were more expensive external Blu Ray players that not a lot of people owned and or were doing 4k 30hz. So from that perspective as well it would make sense we did not hear much about the issue until these past couple of months.
I've been watching Newegg's eBay store page for good bundles. They just posted the 500GB Halo bundle with AC: Syndicate, Fallout 4, and MGS V for $329.00. Is this probably as good as we'll get until Black Friday?

I just talked to chat, didnt need to register anything on the site. Gave them my old SN and new one and they approved it
Holy fuck! it might be time to pull the trigger.

Just bought the 1TB model today, love the design of the system and feel of the controller. I found it amusing that it took half an hour before you really took control of anything. System update, ridiculous montage video with generic rock music that's unskippable, then controller update.
The stuff was down for a day. The person I talked to in chat couldn't even do it internally. It should be back up now though. I couldn't even register my console.
Not only is that video skippable by hitting the home button, but the controller update doesn't have to be done then.
Relax....Enjoy the show bro.

Anyone else having issues with HDR? My father bought one mainly to use as a 4k bluray player. He said when he turned HDR on, he couldn't play movies. The TV would tell him there was no signal.
He has a Samsung KS8000, and we've watched movies on it with my Samsung 4k player no problem. With the HDR setting on the TV off, the XOne works fine, if he turns HDR on, he gets no signal from the XOne. Seems pretty weird. Microsoft told him to return it, so Amazon is sending a replacement on Friday.

Doing work with that partnership.

No problem.
Super obnoxious is the word I'd use : I hate lack of consistency in a product or company.

Is there a dedicated HDMI port on the tv for HDR or do you have to turn that setting on on the tv for that particular port? Glad to know they are sending another xbox, though.
Right! How would a normal even know that?

Exactly.....it just seems they could do a better job at making things easier for your regular user.
Hmmm. I think they are already using something similar to that. The external drive I have hooked up to my original Xbox One seems to be substantially faster than internal Sata 2 drive. The only way that would be possible is by using something other than the standard USB 3.0 spec.
Thank you for this. They look damn cool.

Just $30 more for 3 more games is a great deal
Fallout 4 is great
Metal gear solid V is also great
Assassins creed is alright
I wonder if GameStop still sells eBay gift cards, so tempted to get this bundle

Is there a website or twitter account to find out about deals like these? I know about reddit /r/greatxboxdeals and about @wario64 on twitter. What else should I be checking?
Thx!

Try turning on UHD HDMI Color on for the input he's using it on.
can you or someone else keep us posted on whether they add any more deals because i would buy this if they included games i actually wanted and if I recall newegg had put several different bundles up for the other xbox ones.
That's cause the internal Xbox One SATA interface is limited to SATA2 support and is a slow 5400RPM drive. USB3 has more bandwidth than SATA2 and your external drive is probably faster than the internal one.
UASP is faster than the standard USB3 protocol and would be nice for my external SSD to be able to take advantage of it.
FYI: The Xbox One accepts 250GB SSDs even though they said 256GB is the minimum. This Samsung 850 EVO I bought from Amazon is working great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OAJ412U/?tag=neogaf0e-20

That's what he's doing, I believe. By the way he described it (I haven't been over there to look at it) there isn't a setting to turn HDR on/off on the console? But, when he turns it on for that input for the TV, that's when he loses signal, even if it's a standard 1080p bluray.
Just to reiterate a logical follow-up question, it's only with the XOne. My 4k Samsung player works perfectly fine on his TV with HDR on. We just watched 4k Creed on it a couple weeks ago no problem.
You can turn it on on any of the inputs. He tried multiple to be sure one wasn't fucked.

I came to post the deal too... lol, Newegg... "Games are CDs version"
Also because I'm sure many people are probably just scrolling past it...
$330 US DOLLARS, NO TAX OR SHIPPING IN MOST STATES! 9 GAMES BRUH!!!
You definately want to get an external HDD with it though, you're not gonna have much space after installing all the games...

I would have kept it if it didn't require an external power supply, but I never really use the damn thing anyway outside of the occasional movie and FH2 (which I sold since 3 is coming out soon). It didn't seem very useful on my PC either (couldn't even get it to work with Skype). Glad I was able to get $100 for it thanks to the adapter cable. Also managed to get it all in the adaptor box.
Saves me some money on shipping. My 2TB upgrade was basically a wash after this.Honestly they need to remodel the Kinect too, it's damn near a third of the size of the console. They should make a smaller white version that works just off of USB power, but we all know it's a dead accessory.
Maybe hdr Mode only works with hdr Signals. My tv automaticly changes to hdr when i Start the Netflix app. Did you try it while playing a hdr movie?

Yes, he tried 4k blurays with HDR also. But, the TV handles non-HDR sources just fine with HDR mode turned on, I have the exact same TV.
Sounds like it isn't a widespread issue if no one else here is experiencing it. Hopefully his replacement fixes it.

HDR is a bit of a shit show in terms of standardization right now. All the studios are mastering the films different (to different brightness levels, brightness roll-offs, and on different mastering displays) and setting different metadata from title to title. Plus all of the TV manufacturers are doing their own thing in their HDR10 implementations.
And the calibration protocol for sets is essentially like weeks old.
Dolby Vision is probably the best right now since Dolby has more of a standardization, but that doesn't mean that it still can't get messed up my provider or TV. I know the Mad Max discrepancy has been discussed on AVS.
I actually don´t really understand why Kinects needs this much power.
It´s 2 cameras and a microphone and I read they didn´t include much hardware with that because it would have been too expensive.
But yes => Same for me, I am not using the thing anymore because of all the cables I would need with the One S.

Would that paper it's wrapped in prevent moisture from getting into the system if left outside or in a damp environment while boxed?
I've yet to set my replacement up and had the windows open one night when there was a bit of dampness in the air. It's been driving my mind crazy with worry, although I know there's nothing to worry about realistically.
I hope to set it up tomorrow. My friend said he would the other day, but only if I bought him a bottle of rye and that feels dumb and kind of rude. So I think I'm going to do it, since I have to start a game I only have for a limited time.
Hopefully it will go well, and not be a shitshow like the last time.

After noticing the first couple S deals last month on various sites like Fatwallet and CAG, I just made a shortcut to Newegg's eBay listings, sorted from highest to lowest price. Obviously this won't catch if they accidentally make a price mistake and post something really great for the wrong price, but it'll have any of their normal bundles, usually listed on the first two lines. I just check the link a couple times a day. They seem to post new things at around 1700-1900 EST most of the time, though not always.

I mean, unless you left it outside in the rain, then you have nothing to worry about
This is an OCD thing right? I know how much of a mindfuck that can be mate
As long as it's not out in the pouring rain it's fine. Think of it this way it was probably in all kinds of hot crapped trucks getting to Amazon warehouse or wherever you bought it. It's fine.

Good idea! Thanks. Just bookmarked that link.
Hi
has anyone tried viewing 4k hdr stuff in the native youtube app? everything seems to play in 1080p when you choose to show video info in the settings.
cheers
The Youtube app is not updated yet. IE also can't display 4k content so you can't use the browser either.
