How are you hooking up XBOX? Composite or Component? If component make sure colors match, sometimes behind the TV ,its hard to see difference in the blue and green

Composite im thinking because i don't got blue & green wires on the Xbox i didn't even know they made color stream wires for the Xbox
but i might have a connection problem maybe because on my last TV i had to wiggle the wire some sometimes R set it in a certain position for the best pic.
so since they create color stream wires for the Xbox i might need those huh?
my bro. & sister seem to not to need them :?:

Yeah if you have a tv with component input (blue green and red) you really need to get yourself a component (HD) cable - the difference in quality is massive. At the moment you're presumably using SCART or composite which I would imagine is a bit fuzzy and blurry - run it at 720p with the HD cable and you'll wonder how you ever coped without it. Some users have had issues with the cheaper ones you can get off sites like ebay but I've always gone for the cheapest I can find and never had any problems, I do still have an official one but I can't notice any difference in picture quality between that and the cheap ones.

for component there really is a difference in picture quality, my cheap unscreened ones show noise and ghosting. expensive one doesn't.
i didn't use to think it was worth it either, but you can get a nice one for about £10 on amazon vs cheap for £5, worth it!

eh shame i didn't see this before. ^ that's an example of a cheap probably badly screened (or not at all) one.

i'd vouch for this, it's the one i use on my good 40" TV and the image is just about perfect, zero noise i can see:

only £5 too in the UK! look for equivalent where you are.

i should explain i use a breakout box from the xbox first, so this is a standard component cable (you can't plug it straight into xbox). i've not seen Xbox1 specific cables that good, but maybe someone else can link to one.

just a thought, but have you switched your video out into NTSC?

If youre in the UK and have come from an old CRT TV you might not have noticed how bad the signal was in PAL. You will on a decent LCD.
You need NTSC for HD.
