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?
