I’ve recently bought and xbox one one with forza 5, I played it in one of the gaming stores in their demo forza 5 and demo xbox one, the graphics on the in game game race on my console are no where near as good as the one I played in store, and I have a much better than what they had, any idea on how to get it to look looks good? My in race at the moment look as good as forza 4
Cheers
what type of TV and how old is it?
I have a sony bravia, thought I would give a go at playing with the picture settings and it looked way better than it did before. I just searched to see what other people using.
Hi Mad, the stunning graphics are one of the great things about FM5. Here’s a few asks I’d go through:
I trust you’re using an HDMI set with 240Hz response time and rated for at least 1080p/60fps?
I’ve got the HDMI cable running directly to the TV, not into a switching receiver, how about you?
Have you checked video settings under System in XB1?
Can you tune your picture on your TV monitor?
After tuning the monitor, can you verify system settings and then the “adjust picture” settings in FM5?
Are you on a wired IP connection? Does it test out well on speedtest? Can you verify you IP line with your ISP?
The game installed itself to the hard drive ok, right? (not sure if XB1 will even play a game from DVD without installing to HD, but worth an ask)
Finally if the forum isn’t helping (we’re not tech support I’d try XBox Support for a support-chat session and/or phone session.
Easy: set your TV to GAME MODE, if it is present.
If not: turn OFF all options on the TV that are supposed to make your experience of watching better. Consult your manual on how to do that and make a preset of it. TV’s nowadays interfere tooooo often with smooth gaming.
@bob qoq: there is no such HDMI-cable rated for “at least this or that”. Do look at the HDMI-specs like 1.3 and 1.4 and EVERY cable sold in a decent store should be able to cope with the MINIMUM requirements printed on the cable.
Yeah, this would definitely indicate a television issue. Demo stations clearly use a retail Xbox console - the only thing that might be tricking you is that demo stations typically use a relatively small monitor for the display which compresses the images in such a way that imperfections in the details cannot be seen. If you have a larger monitor, this could be another reason why you see the game differently.
As has been suggested, look into your television’s settings and make changes as needed. Performing an internet search for your television model and console gaming should yield results.
The guys before me are picking up on stuff that’s more technical, but don’t overlook your Xbox settings. I played my 360 for almost 4 years before realising that I could turn up the graphics big time.
Here are the console display setting options - they are quite limited, so I’m not sure how much better you can get the image to look without performing a “technical” diagnosis of the television.
Just to add… if you go through the calibration included in the xbox one settings menu it will make it look much better. I had calibrated my tv with Avia 2 prior to getting an xbox one but the console’s own calibration made it look much better.
The average TV together with an ISF-calibration, has got (guestimated) 9,000 settings more than the Xbox to display a picture. For sake of argument, you could be correct but the One, default from the box, should be 95% correct on its own settings when connected to a TV. This still means there is a 100% chance that the TV in question might need some settings adjusted.
That said, and referencing my previous post; no 2 TV’s leave the factory in the same state of calibration. Buy 2 average Samsung / LG / Panasonic TV’s for $1,000 at 42" or more; hook them up to a Spyder4TV device and you will find these TV’s are at least 10% off when it comes to actual colors. Some can’t even be corrected to display “true color”. Only if they are THX or ISF calibrated by the manufacturer or a certified aftermarket party, there should be at least 1 preset in the menus to enjoy the panel to its fullest. Most of the times, these specialist TV’s are rare to find and come in at “about” $2,000 for every 20" in diagonal.
