The TVs are all 60hz now, it's just that normally if they take in a 50hz signal they do the correct conversion so they don't judder.

What are you on about? PAL TVs are 50hz compatible, they don't convert anything.

The Xbox only outputs 60hz, but when it is receiving a 50hz signal it isn't converting it correctly, then is passing it through to the TV in a total juddery mess.

You can force the console to 50hz too, though.

Here are the precise instructions. First, set your Xbox One to auto-detect HDMI (under Display settings). Then, toggle the resolution from 1080p to 720p (or vice versa), which should trigger a prompt window asking if the screen is displaying correctly, and if you want to keep the new resolution. Select “No” before the 15 seconds is up. This seems to trick the Xbox One into thinking that the TV is not compatible with 60Hz signal, and voila! 50Hz output.

Remember that with this method though, a blanket frame rate of 50Hz is applied to ALL content on the Xbox One, meaning that even 30fps or 60fps video games will be displayed at 50Hz, which may look unnatural or even exhibit micro-stutter.

If you snap TV and game, one of them will suffer from the stutter issue. And that's not fixable I assume.

Got the update in the SF Bay Area. Seemed to happen shortly after turning the system on and off again. Hand gestures are about a billion times more accurate now. I wonder if voice commands are improved.

So my wifes XB1 got the update right away when I got home but my XB1 hasnt. We are connected to the same internet. If I hold down the power button for 8 seconds the console turns off and the power brick turns orange and it restarts but doesnt update. If I turn it off any other way then it just stays in standby mode with the white light on the power brick. Help?

Got the update, but:

- Still no option to remove downloadable content from hard drive which isn't tied to an already installed/owned game.
- Achievement app is still showing French descriptions for some titles (Powerstar Golf), while console and billing region are both set to UK (since my country isn't available yet).
- And then there's this:

Killer Instinct looks really different now! The downside is that my eyes are watering from trying to focus on the softer text.

Not in the LCD age they ain't, it's very rare for an LCD to change it's refresh rate.

If they could I'd be forcing my TV into 50HZ for PC gaming as I could have VSYNC and not have to worry about hitting 60fps all the time
Click to expand...

I have no issues forcing 50hz or 60hz on my Mac mini and LG monitor or my LG TV that's hooked up to the PC. XBMC changes the refresh rate all the time, depending on content. 24fps, 60fps et. al.

They change refresh rate whenever you put on a 24Hz movie. Or pal TV that isn't converted to a juddery mess by Xbox.

That just isn't true. If the TV was converting 50Hz TV signal to 60Hz there would be noticable judder when watching a broadcast. And there isn't. What the hell is this 'correct conversion' you're on about?

I am in China, imported One from US. Didn't have update hour ago so turned of console. Then someone posted the link to manual update. Turned on console to check my version of OS (to get the correct update file) and update started installing.

So I guess the waves are random and maybe attached to the batches of consoles somehow.
