When my TV is set to 720 or 1080p, the resolution is worse.?

Hey people,

I got my Xbox One today, and so far it's great. But there is a problem which i think has to do with my TV. I have a Samsung 43" Plasma TV and when i set my Xbox (One and 360) to 720p or above, the quality gets worse. The display loses sharpness and looks fuzzy around the edges, and the colors are FAR too bright to handle. On my Xbox 360, the solution was simple; i set my Xbox 360's display to 'Optimal Resolution' and the display was perfect, nice and sharp, and the colors were bang on.

On the Xbox One though, i can't seem to find the 'Optimal Resolution' option or any alternative to fix the display of the console. The only two options in the display section in settings are 720p and 1080p.

My question is, does anyone know whats happening and how to fix it?

    For starters, you don't "set" your TV to 720p or 1080p. Its screen is one or the other, and it doesn't change.

    What you do change is the resolution of your source--a game box in your case. You always want the default output resolution of any source to match your TV's screen.

    So....is your TV 720p or 1080p? Whatever it is, get in the Xbox menu and set its output to match the TV.

    If you continue to have a problem, something else is going on; possibly a fault in the Xbox. But you always want to start by matching up your output resolution to your TV screen. (Do the same thing with any other source you have, like a DVD player or cable box.)
