Make sure you are plugged into an HDMI jack that supports 4k, and that you have all the settings appropriate for each console - VRR, 120, Dolby Vision, etc. Not all HDMI inputs on TVs will support all input types, and a mismatch would do what you are describing. Also make sure your cable actually supports 4k - I've had some "4k" cables do some wonky things to signal.

I have both a XBSX and a PS5 plugged into my Sony 4k OLED, and they look equivalent. Any differences in quality are subjective. I will say the XBSX feels "snappier" in the menus, though the PS5 has a better interface IMHO (though both are a bit info-barf-y compared to the PS3 era).

I swapped his HDMI from port 1 to my port, and mine to port 1 to see if it was the ports and it's the same. I never considered the HDMI cable itself though. I'll go out and buy a good 4K one and see if that was the issue

You need a hdmi 2.1 cable able to support 4k 120fps or 8k 60fps

He doesn’t need to go out for a replacement 2.1 HDMI. The series x includes one and there is nothing wrong with it. It’s his tv settings and what his settings are in the Xbox for video output.

Yeah the TV is only 60hz though so I only bought a standard HDMI. I didn't need 120fps I don't play online games that often

Still needs to be hdmi 2.1 for hdr and or Dolby vision etc depending on the model of tv.

When I load a game a little logo from the TV pops up telling me it's in Dolby Vision mode. But I'll still try the cable option just to test it out
