Problem Solved:
I swapped the cable that was connected to the PS4 Pro with the one that was connected to the Xbox One X. Both cables are the same model, so I don't know what the issue was; the cable that didn't work with the Xbox One X works just fine with the PS4 Pro (it's outputting 4K-HDR from the Pro).
---------------------------------------
I recently bought a TCL 55R635 because it has better picture quality than my TCL 55R617 and has features that accommodate gaming, such as Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, and a refresh rate of 120Hz with or without HDR (though only up to 1440p, which I don't mind). Hence, I've connected all of my machines to it, namely my 4K Blu-ray player, my PC, my PlayStation 4 Pro, and my Xbox One X. However, whereas all of the other machines have connected to the new TV just fine, the Xbox One X refuses to recognize that the TV supports 4K; I had this issue with my 55R617 and recall that the only way I was able to get the Xbox One X to output 4K was to use the HDMI cable that was included in its packaging. I'm pretty sure that if I were to use that specific HDMI cable, this problem would be rectified, but my new TV is positioned further away from the console than my other TV (which I still have and is still where it's been since I bought it); in fact, I actually bought new, twelve-feet HDMI cables in order to connect the console (as well as my 4K Blu-ray Player and PS4 Pro) to the new TV so that I wouldn't have to reposition anything (my PC is directly underneath the TV, so I have it connected via one of my old, six-feet cables). So, in order for me to use the HDMI cable that came with the Xbox One X, I'd have to move the console to my desk, where the new TV is, because that cable isn't long enough.
Hence, I ask the following: Why does the Xbox One X think that it's so special that it can refuse to use any HDMI cable other than the one that came with it? The new cables that I bought are very durable, well-built 18Gbps cables and they work just fine with my other machines, yet only my Xbox One X is giving me problems.
