Hey guys, just a quick one.
I have been a bit out of the AV loop the last 2 years as I was focusing on my career / new family and have dropped off a bit, missing critical advancements in HDMI / 4K and HDR technologies which have crept up recently.
I naively picked up the Xbox One X all excitedly, as my current set up is from late 2014/early 2015 including the original Xbox One. However, I found my Philips 50PUS6809/12 did not support 4K 60Hz, and so at best I get a crisp 1080p image due to downscaling and better performance / visuals for my games.
Sounds ok I guess, but since I'm a video/audiophile at heart, this is eating away at me.
Long and short, I'm picking up an LG C7 at some point soon as there are some good deals on Curry's/PC World and I expect another drop around Black Friday. To be safe, I did a bit of revision on my Onkyo receiver as well prior to putting down so much money on a new TV to make sure that could handle 4K 60Hz / HDR.
The good news: 4k 60Hz is supported, brilliant. However, it does not support HDCP 2.2 as far as I can see (somebody please prove me wrong). I can't justify replacing my TV AND receiver when both are fully functional, so my question is:
Can I connect my XBOX One X directly to my TV to get the support for 4k 60hz and HDR, and then connect my receiver to the XBOX to keep the 5.1 Surround Sound, or does it absolutely need to go into the TV to get the audio benefits?
Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
