Xbox Series X [YCC 422] Setting: On or Off for TVs Without HDMI 2.1?

[@timotim27]

OK...so I tried it out on my LG B7 OLED and it actually worked! It fixed an issue I was having where the screen appeared as if it was having some interlacing issues. Basically, the image around certain parts would look like every other line wasn't being drawn properly. I set the SX to both 4:2:2 and 12 bit color (previously 4:2:2 was disabled and the bit color was set to 10 bit) and everything now looks great. Thanks a lot for this video, it really helped a bunch.

[@skydivin4ng3l]

Aren't we supposed to set bit depth to 8 bit? What was your problem exactly? Colorbanding? I use also the B7 with 8bit and 422 disabled don't have those interlacing issues. As recommended before. But sometimes I think there is color banding... At least I would expect more from HDR xD

[@MrPancrasio007]

Short and sweet indeed! V is for Vincent and "visual" guru. The Murideo's calculator is more comprehensive than their previous HDMI bandwidth chart. I wish you would have commented what was the optimal setting for the CX in that case. To all who complained about Vincent never pointing out the negatives of OLED, piss off. He's always mention "flashing" artifacts with near black gamma, vertical stripping and uniformity issues with moving near black full screens, automatic brightness limiting, HDR peak brightness at 10% windows only. In almost every single review! I bought a C9 last year fully aware of all these shortcomings thanks to Vincent. Imperfect and all, OLED is still the best performer for dark room viewing. True blacks, vibrant colors, wide viewing angles.

I've been scratching my head over this for months now. I have the Xbox One X + LGC9. I want to know if I should check or uncheck 422 when I'm playing games. I want the less input lag possible. I've tried both and I can't see any difference

[@dangr3957]

If you want less input lag, use a wired game pad, and use a lan cable instead of WiFi. Some people recommend to set the Xbox to RGB pc mode and downgrade the resolution to 1080p. Ycc422/12bit has nothing to do with latency, it’s helps to view the games with better details. The resolution is the key factor which could create few ms delays. The Xbox One X definitely has delays in 4K. I am not sure about Series X as I have an Series S. If you don’t like 1080p on a 4K screen I recommend you to get a hdmi2.0a hdr scaller edid rekorder with hdcp2.2 support for better upscaling or/and buy an old 1080p panda plasma with low response times for gaming.

[@LeBonRoiLouis]

@@dangr3957 Thank you very much for your detailed answer 👍🏻 I noticed some differences when I do play in 1080p yes. Especially in games like Horizon 4 or Call of Duty. I might want to buy the Series X , but it's quite hard to get here in France.

[@officialcreatordestroy]

Another thing you can do is call your TV's customer service line to see if your TV natively supports 4:2:2. If not, then it's best to turn it off, because it can actually introduce further input lag or even other issues.

[@ganove84]

No it shouldn’t Even 4K60hz 12 bit 422 is only 17.82 GB. But besides that. If you want the best gaming!!! Experience you should always uncheck ycc 422 be it sdr or hdr. There are only 2 reasons to check this options while gaming: 1. You want better color gradients in trade off sacrificing other parameters 2. The very very rase case when you get issues outputting a 4k60 444 signal on your device. That’s basicly it. Keep in mind I talk about gaming only! IMHO you should never check ycc 422 as Long as you don’t have issues with your rendering device

[@mrgreen2769]

A lot of people including myself have had the random black screen especially on boot up. Its basiscally intermitent and goes away for some and for some it only happans watching bluray or streaming movies but for me it sometimes happens in the game. Now theres videos that say turning off YCC 4:2:2 and raising your high fidelity setting to 30 bit solves the problem. For now it seems to work, how ever i believe its not related to those settings and may be linked to Microsofts update. I basically leave mine turned off, however when its turn on it does no matter if you are in a game or whatever it pops up a black screen with the message about an update. I believe the update settings is bugged when its turned off. Why do i think this? Because everytime my Series X acted up with the random intermitent black screen i have gone into the update settings to check for an update and every time there was an update ready. After updating the black screen issue seems to disapear for awhile until the next update. I am not saying this is the true reason but it seems to be linked to it somehow.

Hi Vincent. I know this video is a few years old but I'm trying to get an answer about my Xbox Series X paired with my new Sony A95L. In regards to streaming Netflix from the Xbox, if I leave "allow YCC" off the TV shows an input signal of YUV 10 bit 4:2:0, and if I enable "allow YCC," the TV shows an input signal of YUV 8 bit 4:2:2. I'm not sure which setting I should be using for best quality and color. Any help is appreciated!

[@Master_Pantz]

Tried this on my KS8000(US), Allow YCC 4:2:2 with 12-bit on a 4K HDR 60FPS game and looking at the gradient of the sky this caused banding/shimmering and flickering. Seems best to leave Allow YCC 4:2:2 OFF on this TV, but OK to leave it on 12-bit because it seems to switch to 10-bit automatically for HDR games. 12-bit on non-HDR games seems fine without problems.

On my Xbox One X, there is no reason to use YCC 422 when it can handle YCC 444. So no point in turning on YCC 422. Only useful for TVs older than HDMI 2.0b, like 1.4. Now you know the truth.

No it shouldn’t. Unless all you care about is color gradients. If you watch only movies that might be a different story but when it comes to gaming there is NO reason to check this option. Do NOT check this option when you play hdr or sdr. In best case you get better colorgradients but also missmatch source content as it is intended and how it’s output on your Screen. Worst case varies from tv to tv but once again. When it comes to gaming do NOT use this option.

Ok to clarify this : If your goal is to get best gaming experience and how it’s intended from content creator: DO NOT activate ycc 422! Never! Not on sdr neither on hdr! Sdr content on Xbox is always mastered for 444 and hdr for ycc 420. So you will missmatch both when activate/check this options. Once again. The only benefits you get from ycc422 when It comes to gaming is better color gradients. There are some rare cases where you also need this option when a tv is not capable of outputting 4k60 at 444. But this is very rare. Keep in mind : Vincent said in his video the benefit of ycc 422 checked is better color gradient in movies!! because it lower subchroma and increases color depth.

I don't have an issue with the cable that came with my XSX & my LG CX. Works just fine. Maybe bad cable came with your XSX.

use hdmi not auto detect

[@marcellofrisina6460]

when I enable 4:2:2 chroma, 4K HDR content plays in 8 bit 4:2:2 instead of 12 bit. SDR works great, playing in 4:4:4 and 12 bit, but that’s because I’ve set the Xbox to HD 1080p. Is this strange? When I disable 4:2:2, I’m able to get 4:2:0 at 10 bit HDR 4K Edit: this is a series s by the way, but I figure that shouldn’t make a difference?

[@quinceyvanderwesthuizen2839]

Why is xbox dropping it all the way down to 420 in stead of 422 and keeping the 10bit color. The bandwidth should be enough in 60hz mode(hdmi 2.0)

[@ImmanuelH.]

Why do most games turn off my ycc or correct hdr colors and I’d have to put it back on and some games turn it off and just don’t work

Loving your vids and I have a Question, in regards to a Sony 900h. I have a series x and a ps5. I don’t plan on 120fps gaming on the ps5, just 4K 30-60 fps fidelity mode games. If I have the Xbox on the HDMI 2.1 (HDMI 4) port and the ps5 on a standard 4K dolby port (HDMI 2), will I lose graphical quality on the ps5 not having the HDMI 2.1, or just the 120fps options?

[@FutureBeatle]

Just the 120fps

Is this used for monitors too or just tv's?

Hi Vincent, I was wondering if you’re going to be reviewing the Hisense 100L5 and can we expect to see a video on it soon?

[@MicPrime]

After my test on my setup Panasonic GZ 950 with Xbox series x best option is ycc 4:2:2 off and color depth 8bit.

What XSX settings would you recommend for Sony 4K projector with 10.2 Gbps HDMI?

[@Y_ii_n_x]

If your TV/Monitor doesnt support 12-Bit it is not usefull. For HDMI 2.0 with YCC 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 + 8-Bit or 10-Bit I would go with this: If you play a game with HDR (better native HDR and not the "Auto-HDR") I would choose 10-Bit with YCC 4:2:2 (14,85 Gbit/s), but if you play a game without HDR like Fortnite (on the Xbox Series X/S) I would choose 8-Bit with YCC 4:4:4 (17,82 Gbit/s). Why? Because you cannot see much difference, except HDR is on and HDR benfits from 10-Bit much more. Thank me later.

[@toddthegod3221]

What if I have the Samsung Neo g8 4k uhd monitor?

[@rolandcarriage]

A HDMI 2.0 valóban látja 8-biten YCC 444 (PC Módban), de ha HDR10-es játékkal játszik a YCC 420-ra le eseik automatikusan 8 vagy 10-biten is! Ezért használja a 12-bitet YCC 422 engedélyezését és tartja játékok közben is ezeket a beállításokat...

[@JesusOvalle-jq2kk]

So heres the thing, i own a acer monitor with a native resolution of 1600x900p and my xbox one is set to 720p, pc rgb is on since the monitor supports it but i dont know if i should enable 4:2:2 or not. Youre saying not to enable if your monitor or tv doesnt support 12 bit whcih mine doesnt abviously, but does it have any negative effect if my hdmi port isnt hdmi 2.0? I dont know if its 2.0 or 1.4 since as much as ive looked online for my monitors specs, nothing shows up in terms of what hdmi version it is, so im not sure if it supports hdmi 2.0 yet with ycc 422 disabled blacks look like real blacks yet any other color doesnt seem to show much difference i would say. Only blacks look darker which i feel like that should be the case with it but um im not sure.

[@ADISTOD3MUS]

What about having a 2.1, HDMI TV but in the display settings in your console put 1080p 60hz instead of 4k 120hz while still having checked ✔️ the alow 4k box on seriesX?. What I see it's that nobody is talking in KZbin how whatching 4k content trough a 1080p port (specially if it's a 2.1 HDMI port) everything looks 10 times better. How in the world a very good calibrator like you Vincent doesn't ever discuss this very important setting about Xbox and TV'S.? Only respect.✌️

[@Heijden89]

so its not nessasary for an neo qled 4k tv with hdmi 2.1?

[@rolandcarriage]

Yes disabled YCC 422 (HDMI 2.1) 4K UHD/120Hz or 60Hz, 10-bit, and your TV's dashboard change to PC MODE!!! (This is full YCC 444 Chroma)

[@AdamH7]

So this setting was fixed? I remember in a previous video you found that this setting dropped to 8-bit? Now it's 12-bit?

No, the LG was under-reporting the bit depth with 4:2:2 video signal.

My TV has hdmi 2.1 ports but they are only able to do auto lo latency mode, from what iv read in reviews. I have had 4k blu rays playing through my blu ray player with certified high bandwidth hdmi, and I'm seeing data transfers from blu Ray player to TV of 40 + gigs. Would this apply with the xbox also, so what exactly are my TV hdmi ports capable of with the xbox? Should I change the setting in this video or leave it? Please could you clear this up for me very confusing.

[@arash7even]

Interesting! I have question about PS5 hdmi bandwidth which is 32gbps! Do you think Hardware wise Sony can uncapped the signal to 48gbps for 12bit 4.4.4? Since many people dont know to go with cheaper C1 G1 (40gbps hdmi) or C2 G2 which support 48gbps hmid bandwidth!

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

HDMI 2.1 bandwidth isn't enough for 4K120, 12bit, 4-4-4. It's 0,11 Gbps over 48 Gbps limit. You will have to wait for next version.

[@aadamkhan5217]

3:31 Should I use a game that is originally formatted for HDR or should I use a game that has auto HDR?

Leave it auto. It will start hdr automatically if the context supports it.

@HDTVTest Why does the xbox not output 12 Bit at YCC 4:2:0 ?

[@Dreamer-79]

Thank you so much! Just found this out myself, seeing how I am in the process of setting up a 4K matrix 4x4 switcher throughout my house. 2.1 fiber cables are extremely costly. And I couldn’t justify the cost, not to mention potential incompatibility issues, with fiber 2.1 cables being so new to the market. A great work around is the 12-bit, 4:2:2 settings, which take full advantage of hdmi 2.0 spec. Thank you for this video... there isn’t much out there on this. 😉👍

[@rolandcarriage]

Yes, dude! But the "Colour Space" setting Standard (recommended) or PC RGB? And my TV's dashboard what's on mode "Gameconsole mode" or "PC mode"???

[@Dreamer-79]

@@rolandcarriage Personally I would leave it to “Standard”, keep input to “HDMI” - NOT PC or Game Console… I say this because it will result in lower latency, but also lower brightness/contrast.

Sorry still dont fully understand but if I have a hell old tv should I still turn on this setting for my xbox series S?

My Xbox series X reads my monitor being allowed to run 1440p @120hz but when I click it, it always reverts to 1440p @60hz. When I select 1080p @120hz, the Xbox can run it with no problems. Do you have an idea why I can’t set it to 1440p @120hz when my Xbox can see it? I am using a 3ft Zeskit Maya hdmi cable with a Viotek GN27DB monitor.

[@gagahouse]

You have to disable allow 4K on xbox video settings otherwise it defaults to 4K and because your monitor can't handle 4K120Hz it will automatically select 4K60hz. I had the same issue with an xbox one x and an LG C1 - by disabling allow 4K I was able to set 1440p@120hz but then you lose the HDR so I stuck to gaming on 4K60hz.
