Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

YSK: Xbox One Has A built In Display Calibrator

From TV salespeople to TV reviewers, you'll often hear the word "calibrate" thrown around. It is said that getting your TV calibrated will improve its performance and increase its accuracy.

Calibrating a tv will get you the best possible picture your TV or display can produce.  A little known fact in the tech world is TVs DO NOT COME FROM THE FACTORY CALIBRATED.  While you may like the picture your display provides chances are it's not correctly calibrated.

To properly calibrate a display you should hire a pro to come to your house with special tools to do the calibration, however this can cost hundreds of dollars.  The next best option is to use a calibration DVD/Blu-RAY, this can still cost about about $20+ to purchase.  Why spend all that money, save it to buy games.



Xbox One has a built in display calibrator, here is how to use it:


  1. Scroll left on the Home screen to open the guide.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Select All Settings.
  4. Under Display & sound, select Video output.
  5. Choose Calibrate HDTV, read each screen carefully
Note: This will allow you to manually adjust your TV using the TV remote or the options in the TV menu. The adjustments are done to your TV not the Xbox.  Some of the setting in the Xbox One TV calibrator may be called something different on your model.
