How to Set Color Depth (Bits Per Pixel) On Xbox One

Hardcore Gamer: Three options are given: 24 bits per pixel, 30 bits for pixel and 36 bits per pixel. There is, however, no explanation for what these means and reading the official FAQ doesn't make it any more clear. We break it down.

i like xbox tv calibration however they seem to have left out the sharpness calibration which would help for some who have their sharpness off .

[buynit]

What calibration? I went through the tutorial thing but it wouldnt let me adjust anything it just explained it. I didnt know what the bits was about either so i just set it to 36..

[NarcolepZZZZZZ]

It isn't on the initial setup. It's in settings.

Im trying to learn the ins and outs of everything.. Its kind of hard with ki and forza, i want to take the time to learn the new console and kinect but i just cant stop playing. And just saying snap tv just for the hell of it... Lol

The settings greater than 24 bpp are probably used by the upscaler, and by TVs which have movie Motionflow (that's the Sony name) type technology, which renders "inbetween" frames from otherwise 24-60 Hz source material.

I have noticed that when I set the color space to TV its grayish but when I set it to PC, I get my full Blacks. I'm playing on a 65" Panasonic vt60 Plasma.

Damn 65"? I used to have a 50" that was too damn big for me. I found it harder to game on. I felt like I had to make my self look around the whole screen when playing bf3, loved it for 3d though. I use a 32" now. Perfect for me. I bet that 65" is great for movies.

[sharpened sense]

I have had 60", 65" and 70" hdtv's for years and can't imagine going smaller again. But the resolution difference in battlefield 4 between PS3 and PS4 is hugely noticible on the big tv's.

24-bits per pixel is known as True Color, 30/36/48-bits per pixel is known as Deep Color..
This would explain 3rd party games like BattleField 4 and COD Ghost being more colorful on XBOX ONE..

That makes no sense. You can always increase your TV colour.

[Mkai28]

What I mean is the colors are more vibrant( colors pop out more). You can't get 36 bits (68.71 billion colors) effect just by simply adjusting the colors on your tv or monitor. What's strange is I know the PS4 can support this, may be they will put it in an update where you can change the color depth to 24/32/36/48-bits per pixel?

[Detoxx]

So the higher the better?

[Mkai28]

Yes, but only with HD content. Deep Color™: HDMI 1.3 supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification.(HDMI1.2)

Most HDTVs support it(1080p) LCD /LED. But this is more up scaled colors because it's only at 8 bits..

[2pacalypsenow]

DO any HDTV's have more than 8 bit per color? (24 bit)

[Mkai28]

Sadly, only 2K/4k/ and some projectors produce 10-bit.
