Be interested to read your thoughts when your s arrives. I'm trying to source a Series X/S i'm only interested in Forza Horizon 5 so i'm wondering if i can get away with a Series S on my 65" CX or be forced into spending the extra £200 for the Series X.
I have a 77 inch Sony OLED A9G and sit 12 foot away.
Fed up of waiting for a PS5 or Xbox X, so I reluctantly bought a Xbox S over a month ago.
Must say I’m impressed with the S.
Didn‘t realise the S was so small, it’s also totally silent.
I like the quick boot up times but the massive positive is game pass ultimate. The ability to trial games I’ve previously had no interest in, has been a massive benefit that I didn’t realise.
You are also able to share the game pass between 2 people in
different households.
Regards the picture quality on a 77 inch 4K OLED it’s variable.
However even the worse examples the graphic quality is good to very good.
Then there are x/s optimised games where the graphics are excellent on my 77 inch.
Games like Forza Horizon 4, Rally 2.0 and F1 2020 all have fantastic graphics and look impressive on my large tv, they all look like crystal clear smooth 4K graphics to me.
I’ve read several comments about Xbox S is for a 1080P tv whereas Xbox X is for 4K so I was surprised how inaccurate this conclusion is. Suspect it’s a bit like someone talking about cars and coming out with statements like “for motorway driving you need at least a 2 litre engine and a car capable of at least 140 mph”. When in the real world general speeds on motorways are 80mph, so a 1.6 litre engine capable of 110 mph will still do a more than adequate job travelling up and down the motorway.
