How to Fix TV Display Resolution Issues on Xbox One

Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

The Xbox One console automatically detects the display resolution of the display device that it's connected to. However, on rare occasions, the console may not detect the displays resolution correctly. If this happens, don't worry. It’s easy to change the display resolution.

2. Adjust Display Resolution

1. Press the Xbox button on the controller.
   

1. 
   
2. Go to the System tab.
   

1. Then go to Settings.
   

1. Then go to Display & sound.
   

1. And then go to Video output.
   

1. Select the TV resolution option. This may also show up as just Resolution.
   

1. Set the option that best fits your display. Only resolutions supported by your display will appear. Xbox One supports the following resolutions: 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1440p, 4K UHD.
   
   Your console will automatically revert to the previous setting if you do not confirm the new setting within 15 seconds. This is helpful in case your display goes blank while switching between resolutions.
2. If you don't see the resolution for your display, go to Advanced video settings.
   

1. And make sure the TV connection setting is set to Auto-detect.
