Xbox One March update to address 50hz issues

4.3
Microsoft is slated to add a manual 50hz option during the Xbox One March system update, this is intended to assist games in Europe and other PAL territories with TV integration problems.

From various reports leaking out from users beta testing the update the new changes will allow Xbox One owners to manually switch between 50hz and 60hz modes via the system menu to hopefully allow smoother television viewing. While this system tweak will be welcomed by PAL gamers but it is unclear at this time if it is a actual solution or a "patch" for a much deeper problem. The root issue here was 'juddering' picture while viewing PAL television broadcasts, it is believed to be caused by the console's native 60hz refresh rate.

Have you PAL gamers ran into this issue yourselves?

Miss My friend has been experiencing this problem. He ended up getting a PS4 simply because of this. Good to see them fixing it soon.

Exactly, who buys a x1 to just watch tv on..


People who like to pose or show off.


Or simply just to watch TV because they don't have a satellite box from Dish Network, Direct TV, or other cable providers.

It's pretty sad that a company would stream below 60Hz anyway....

I was just thinking the same thing lol, that made my day :'D


I don't see why he would switch systems over an issue like this, but it is his choice.. I wouldn't even see the problem considering I don't watch TV and wouldn't even have a tv service plugged in.
