Xbox One X - Enhanced Edition Bonerstroke Megathread
-
Those looking for a new tv shouldn’t be looking at any other tech than Oled. It’s all towards the upper end of the market but is totally worth it. It’ll make your new consoles sing. Freesync is a way off for TVs and I think is probably too niche a selling point for it to be a major focus for the manufacturers. 4k, hdr/Dolby vision and Oled is about all you should be looking for at the moment. Should be pretty perfect then.

You’ve not met my Samsung KW950. Best sound set up I’ve ever bought by miles.
Surely nowhere near as good as a proper surround setup ?

If yuo want surround and space is issue, then Yamaha YSP range is only real option, mazing bits of kit though"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B -
Yeah the surround programmes in those bars are very spacious. They use angled speakers to bounce sound around too.PSN - minkymu

Nope fraid not. According to Microsofts handy side by side spec comparison sheet the X has identical wifi spec as the S, which ws a minor improvement over the original bone.

Has anyone else spotted that the initials to X Box One X spells XBOX?
Thats quite clever.PSN - minkymu -
Nah it's been the plan all along. As is the Xbox One 10, or XBOX as it will be known. -

I agree with that.

I'm not sure if I'd spend three grand on a current flatscreen even if I were rich, 'cause I know that I'd still be disappointed by their inherent failings. Even with Freesync and strobing at 120Hz, a lot of games have baked-in motion-blur to maintain their resolution. It's very clear to see in the Uncharteds, for example.
I really miss the old days when games were far simpler to look at, but with permanently sharp textures, CRT motion-handling, and just a small amount of hardware input lag from the controller to the console. Things look so much better now, but almost invariably feel worse. -
Aye it seems like a bit of a waiting game for a display that could be considered nearly perfect. We seem so close though, but that's why I would also recommend against spending a small fortune on a display right now, wait for the flaws to be ironed out and for the new technologies to come to fruition.

The tech's there, the market isn't.
Putting FEDs and HD CRTs into production would probably lose companies money unless there are more of us screengeeks than expected. But if a small production run aimed for a break-even point to test those waters...
For me, a 32" HD CRT would cover everything but screensize, and I don't personally need that. And for those who want slim 55" tellies for a few grand, FEDs could do that within ten years if they were a manufacturing reality. -
Yep, it feels like the companies making these have been milking the existing tech for ages now, hardly any drive to get to the next level. I guess most people are pretty happy with what there is anyway.
-
If us techies had a taste of FED we'd drive the high-end market in that direction, but that's not gonna happen while they can sell us these cheaper-to-manufacture TVs for the same premium prices.
I'd love for a Chinese startup to launch a 24" FED monitor for less than a grand. That's what it needs. It wouldn't sell many, but once the cat's out of the bag... -
Anyone know when the embargo lifts for the X? Loads of unboxing vids but nothing else yet.
