Haha, but right now in AVForums, it seems like xbox series has some issue if there is AV/ soundbar in between.

Either u lose HDR (Turn off UHD) or u lose Audio Atmos.

Still reading though

Yup I've subscribed to game pass ultimate for $1 for the first month already. I can't fully utilize it since I don't like shooting (FPS) games, but would consider Cyberpunk just to join in the hype train.

Now I just play UFC 3 lol. Might buy Watchdogs Legion.
*
ohh if u don like shooter then susah sikit. but u didnt do the gamepass ultimate trick? convert 36 live gold month to gamepass ultimate lol. tat only applies for US account tho. cyberpunk must buy. i think u have access to EA play if u are on gamepass, if u like star wars lightsaber fighting u can try fallen order.

What about Ori and the Will of the Wisps? Or Streets of Rage 4?  Gamepass does have other game genres besides shooters. Soul Calibur VI and Tekken 7 are there too. The Forza games are there if you play racing games. Dirt 4 as well.
*
yeah actually got alot genre and alot of games. but mostly is shooter la those microsoft studios punya game. Ori quite nice, the graphics with HDR is mind blowing man. if u like sports, i think fifa 20 also in already thanks for EA play.

But if ur acc singapore one i not sure la, i heard singapore is abit diff on the gamepass?

lol, i actually managed to grab a PS5 pre-order at launch that night, go thru all till the payment page, didn't proceed, and didn't regret it now tongue.gif

MS M'sia, Y U forsaken us????!!!!!
*
i plan to PO and resell tongue.gif but woke up 1hour late, everything gone. I just cant buy it for myself now, because at launch no exclusive game i would like to play. PS plus collection? Most game tat interest me already played. I have more interest in gamepass game, heck i even get destiny 2 beyond light to play full game. And i am a fan of Halo and gears series, so halo 5 and gears 4 and 5 i havent play too. So many games i can play if i buy xbox series X. Sony exclusive game i am in interest is god of war, uncharted only. Last of Us they pretty much fuk up part 2, aint gonna play that franchise anymore.

How? 36 months for how much? But I subscribe dy, how ah?
Thanks thanks... will try out!
*
u subscribe gamepass ultimate US region? Not sure bro, if me i create new acc lol, cos takut later u reload live gold then u no longer eligible for the 1 off conversion. I think somebody shared back then on how to do that.. this was in discussion before series x/s launched lol. BUt i share my step la

1) Create new xbox/microsoft account US region, make sure ur PC is also US region at language and region. email i use gmail one. Make sure ur email alias is not same with ur previous one. like now is abc123@hotmail.com, dont use abc123@gmail.com or watever. Might be causing issue later.
2) buy 3x xbox live gold 12month timecard, can get from shopee, lazada but i get from g2a around usd43 for each, the price fluctuate daily one.
3) I don reload 1 go, i reload 1 timecard 1 day, 2 another day. remember reload u choose not to recurring. but i dont think is a problem to reload 3 1 go la.. i not sure tis one.
4) Reload usd20, u can use it to pay the usd1 and microsoft always wan u to standby the usd14.99 for payment for recurring after your 3 year expire.
5) subscribe to gamepass ultimate for usd1, then it will convert ur xbox live gold remaining months to gamepass ultimate
6) voila u got ur 36months gamepass ultimate

someone can correct me if im wrong

Not sure you need a special one headset or not but maybe can just try a standard one test first?
Make sure to download up to date Dolby Access in your xbox console before testing.
Same.. previously me also everything Sony end up now mostly Samsung.
Next probably will try go LG TV  thumbsup.gif

Will join but not now, kaput d XD

Bought xbox series S (PO) and Xbox GPU
Upgrade soundbar

But since using series S, i still can utilise on my current TV Samsung NU8000 for max reso @ 1440p and 120FPS too biggrin.gif

Unlike ... PS5 sad.gif This round really disappointed
knock.gif  knock.gif
*
but 1440p and 120fps, is not ur TV native reso, everything will be blurry eh. Ur tv will do the upscaling to 4k? If upscale to 4k via TV, can still have 120fps? cos 1440p without upscaling, i can confirm it looks super bad on a 65inch TV lol.

Haha, need to test lo but even right now 1080p from PS4, i also barely see much difference?

But if based on how Xbox One works that time, upscaling 4k will disable the 1440p 120hz feature which probably gets upscaling 4k with 30hz~60hz ?
Have to disable "Allow 4K" under system display menu.

But my TV got native support on 1440p 120hz as per the Rtings review
[attachmentid=10688471]

I also got see youtuber last 2 years mention this on NU8000 review that 1440p looks good also on this TV biggrin.gif
*
cos u need to see ps4 vs ps4 pro which u can see 1080p vs 4k native lol. Now ur TV do the upscaling for 1080p content for u. Easy u go youtube find 4k native video those high quality one then u switch between 1080p see got diff or not.

But at distance 3-4m, u dont really see much diff, maybe only artifacts from 1080p upscaling can see. I can see the diff when i run game from my PC 1080p vs 4k native.

if disable 4k at xbox then upscaling will be by ur TV. TV upscaling is very basic upscaling, if series s using better upscaling method like supersampling it will be much better than ur TV.

I dont think my TV will do the upscaling work, haha..

Basically it depends on the console / devices / media player to do the job

Else 1080p / 1440p contents will be raw output to the TV.

Based on my laptop last time connect to TV, it will shows 2560 x 1440 with 60p on the Information but laptop not power enuf to run 4k , so cant really see differ XD
*
No la, TV actually do the upscaling if ur content is lower than 4k lol. Thats y some TV can do quite good job, some cant. But if TV do upscaling, u will have some input lag. Maybe in game mode, there is no upscaling.

Anyway, if u go rtings u can see the section for upscaling. Most TV can do decent job upscaling video content from 1080p to 4k, but still can beat native, easily can see netflix content 1080p vs ultra 4k lol.

Yea, i dont see any upscaling review mentioned much in Rtings XD

But i havent checked between Native app of Netflix of my TV vs Nvidia Shield one with AI Enhanced though.

Upgrading TV probably wont be so soon for me until they really fix those handshake issue between TV, Soundbar/Audio and Console.
HDR, Vision, Atmos, hahaha

No perfect TV solution yet.

Kinda off topic though  sweat.gif
*
Nah, upscaling review memang ada, maybe u scroll pass it lol. this one is nu8000 one.

Attached Image

There will never be a perfect solution, since hdmi started with all these arc, hdr sure bound to have some handshake issue when u start u implement more and more features. See hdmi-cec already how long in the market still got issue.

For me, as long as is not game-breaking, just enjoy while it last thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

still xbox topic la, so ppl know what the set their console for their own preferences smile.gif
