Re: Xbox One
Is Xbox live acting weird for any of you guys?
It's showing all my friends offline and I just got a couple calls from a few buddies saying they have been sending me invites, but I haven't received anything nor have they received any of mine.Horseshoes & HollyWoodComment

I've seen some tantrums on Twitter, so I suspect so.

Re: Xbox One
If you are a videophile then I do not recommend plugging your tv to the xbox one as it will be a pain each time you put the tv on that you must change the picture settings from game mode to movie mode or custom mode like I do
Some people calibrate their sets and play in that setting for both gaming and watching tv but I personally do not as without game mode the gaming experience takes a huge hit performance wise
So If I play games and then want to watch tv, I will have to go deactivate game mode from within the tv menu each time I want to watch tv which is a pain
The Elite controller is worth it just for the modification of the buttons and stick tensions and deadzones. Gaming on the elite after tweaking the sticks and deadzones make it superior to the default controllerComment

Re: Xbox One
My remote has a 1 touch button for game mode. I don't notice any issues anyways though. Maybe it depends on the tv. I just play games and watch tv in theatre mode. Seems fine to me.Comment

Re: Xbox One
Depends on the tv you have but most tv's today have high input lag on anything not named game mode. In game mode on my samsung you can only use settings for standard and I watch movies and tv in movie mode but for example my samsung 4K has 22 ms input lag in game mode which is awesome but deactivating game mode and putting movie mode makes input lag 144 msComment

Re: Xbox One
I feel like all game mode does is turn their stupid motion (TruMotion or whatever companies call their version of it) thing off.
Which, I already feel bad for anyone that keeps that on.badComment

Re: Xbox One
it does more then that. All image processing is turned off and gives the user the raw feed that is intended from the source
If you have a tv from the last 5 to 7 years there is a 98 percent change your tv without game mode is terrible for gaming
many do not notice and have gotten use to it but if they play with game mode on a few days they will notice their performance increase in any game but mostly shooters
most gaming monitors like benq and asus have input lag in the 9 to 11 ms which is incredible and I can attest as I have an a benq monitor
If you want to game on a big screen it is important you research the tv for the input lag
I had a chance to get the new OLED LED 65 inch that would have been an incredible picture but in game mode the input lag is 45 to 50 ms which is not terrible but not good either and games like COD or BF and The Show would be terrible for hitting and precise pitching
I went with the Samsung JS9500 which is very pricey but it has in game mode just 23 ms on input lag making it a great tv for gaming
The picture settings giving on game mode are still great and after I calibrate the picture looks awesome and gaming is a dreamComment

Re: Xbox One
100% and when they say picture may degrade, it is not the quality of the graphics from the game it is not the resolution. It is the processing that all these tv's get in todays market that help improve the smoothness of the inputted source. You get the raw feed from the console which is how the game is intended to look and it throws in many settings like on my samsung i can control color, back light, contrast, sharpness, dynamic contrast, gama, color tone, Smart LED etc etc
What is “Game Mode”?
Game mode is an option that display manufacturers put into their HDTVs to disable certain image processing protocols when its enabled. It usually makes your picture look worse. Why would anyone want to do that? Because your pretty picture is the reason your controller and inputs feel sluggish. By enabling “Game Mode”, you are disabling certain features of the TV to reduce picture quality, and in return you get more responsive inputs on your controller. The less your TV has to work, the more responsive your controller is.
Sounds great! How do I do it?
This mode varies by manufacturer. Some manufacturers require you to go into a settings menu and enable it from there, while others require you to change picture settings. I will explain how to do it on the major brands of TVs, as those are the most common:
Samsung:
Samsung keeps it consistent when it comes to enabling Game Mode on most of their recent HDTVs. It usually involves navigating to “Setup”, and then going to “General”. You will see an option for “Game Mode” over there. Use your remote to enable this option. Update: Some Samsung displays can further lower their input lag over using Game Mode, by renaming the HDMI input to “PC”. Usually, this only works on the dedicated PC HDMI port, which for Samsung HDTVs is usually HDMI 1. If you’re not satisfied using Game Mode, check out the PC rename trick! -Tip submitted by Ian
LG Electronics:
HDTVs from LG enable Game Mode by going into their picture menu. That menu has an option called “Picture Mode”. It lets you select modes such as Standard, Vivid, etc. In that menu, there is an option for “Game”, set your picture mode to that in order to enable it. This location is convenient because you don’t have to go into extra menus outside of picture in order to enable it. Smart placement by LG.
Sharp:
Sharp HDTVs require you to go into “Picture Settings” and change the “AV MODE” setting to “Game”. This method is almost identical to the way LG does it in their televisions. You don’t have to dig through a lot of confusing menus to enable it.
Sony:
Sony HDTVs are very different from the other brands covered here, because they require your remote control to access the scene menu. Look on your remote for a button labeled “Scene” and press it. Once pressed, it will bring up a scene selection menu pictured below. Simply select “Game” and it will select Game Mode for you.
Panasonic:
Panasonic’s Game Mode can be enabled from the “Picture” menu, similar to LG and Sharp HDTVs. Once in the menu, select between different modes until you find the “Game” setting:Comment
