Its the box!!  not my setup. ... View more

I am NOT the only one that has brought this up!  I have seen atlest 4 others with the exact same issue!  The Xi6 box does have issues in 4k UHD setting.  Even the streamin in 4k and broadcast 4k conten is very washed out!!  Do a search in the forums for Xi6 picture issues or terrible picture and you can see other have the same problems.  As I have said in my previos posts I have even gon so far as to hook the tv on my Xi6 box to the xg1v4 box in the other room and move the boxes/swap them room to room and have the same results.  The Xi6 box has a problem with 4k signal.  It fine in 1080p.  My LG OLED has the exact same issue an my newer Vizio.  Bab picture quality.  If you do get an Xi6 I would like to see what your results are.  ALSO 4K CONTENT IS 4K CONTENT.  It has little to near nothing to do with the quality of the broadcast 720p or 1080p content I am getting.  There is a bug in the box. @lesmikesell wrote: @markDouglas wrote: If its deliverd at 720p how can they advetise it as 4k.  Also when they need much mre in the way of 4k content.  they have the band width!  using the apps like Prime and youtube in 4k also looks washed out on the xi6 box set you 4k UHD.  backing it down to 1080p brings back the picture to much better quality.  Viewing 4k content on my main XG1v4 cable box looks great on both my 4k tv's.  i tried them both.  I think as of right now the addition of the Xi6 box to my 2nd 4k tv is a waste of time. Broadcast TV is broadcast TV - that's just what you get.  The local networks might be 1080 but nobody broadcasts 4k yet.  There is a small amount of sports programming in 4k that is regularly updated here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/uhd-4k-faqs   I don't have an Xi6 but since you are the only one that has mentioned a quality difference between it and the xg1v4 I suspect it is really some issue with your setup or the particular TV connection.  You may be forcing the TV to HDR when the input is not.    The X1 YouTube app does not send HDR even if the content says it is HDR.   Amazon's 'The Man in the High Castle' is  good series for high quality scenery in 4k HDR. ...
