If you own a UHD Samsung TV (2018 or newer) the integration between it and an Xbox is pretty intuitive. Both devices detect each others settings and can even control the other device to cut down on manual picture mode adjustments and extra button presses. Also, owning an Xbox One S, X or Xbox Series X provides support for disc media from CD up to 4k Blu-ray playback (unfortunately the Series S does not have a disc drive, but may provide an update for the use an external one in the future like Sony is planning with its next PS5 model) on top of being able to use tons of major streaming apps. It also supports media playback from a usb source (and being able to play thousands of video games) making it far superior to a standalone streaming device. Once you specify picture settings for each type of mode (SDR gaming, HDR gaming, SDR and HDR media playback at 24p to 120p) the integration automatically detects and switches to the appropriate setting. Though Xbox integrates with other tv brands as well, Samsung TVs seem to take advantage of extra features.
To get auto 24hz switching.. turn on hdmi-hec mode on the Xbox.. under tv & av power options.. plus you will need a hdmi 2.1 cable.. it ships with a 2.0
I use consoles for my streaming. Have a series s in bedroom and series x in living room. I'm sure they consume alot of power but I just like how smooth and fast everything is. I don't like how slow my smart tvs are. I also had a firestick and that got slow after awhile. Series s for the price is just a excellent multimedia platform. I'm sure there is better options but works good for me.
Roku uses 2W. XBOX, or any console start at 200W. It's the equivalent of using a dump truck just to drive a block away to a convenience store for milk.
@@SerenoOunce the S has 140W max as far as I know and uses around 30-40w fors streaming. still a lot more than arm devices, but nowhere close to 200w. but even with 35W difference and ridiculously high prices like 40 cents/kwh, you only save 14 bucks on 1000h stream time.
I agree, however this is perfect for the market that only wants one device under their tv and only casually play games. The only disadvantage would be the lack of a disk drive for Blu-ray’s
The 24fps issue need not be a problem if you upgrade from a 60 Hz display to a 120 Hz panel, as 24 divides evenly into 120 (5:1 ratio). Just make sure you set the resolution to 1440p or lower. Or if you have an HDMI 2.1 display, use 4K with an appropriate (ultra high speed) HDMI cable. That gives you the best of every world (up to 120 fps content, 24 fps content without pulldown, and/or 4K). The Series X comes with an ultra high speed HDMI cable, but with the Series S you’ll have to acquire one separately. But both systems are capable of driving a 4k@120 display. Useful when switching back and forth from a 120 fps game to a 4k@24 film, for example.
Hey Lon. Is it finally fixed the 24p switching? I'm starting to see a lot of used Xbox series s under 150€ and i starts to be more competitive now. I want that Kodi passthrough :D
The problem is the casting ability is lacking. You can do Miracast but that's it unless you count the unofficial AirPlay app. Sometimes I want to just put something up from my phone and Miracast isn't adequate since it usually mirrors the content of your screen rather than optimize video for the screen it's on. It's a good alternative if you are using it to game, but otherwise dedicated streaming devices still have an edge on convenience.
@@chriswright8074 yes there's app for almost every streaming service, but starting a video from your phone is sometimes more convenience. This is especially true for people who aren't tech-savvy.
I just recently got the Series S. It kind of looks like a block of tofu on my TV stand. Aside from that, video game consoles have come a long way. I never envisioned being able to watch TV on one.
Thanks for answering my question Lon not to get off the subject but I think Xbox owners mostly run Kodi instead of PLEX I think it's really cool but confusing everybody has different opinions on it though so I did basic Kodi because I didn't want to download unofficial firmware but if you have some advice for me I'd appreciate it and gladly take it
I don’t mean to be rude, but the fact that people are just now realizing that a gaming console can be used for television is quite telling. The audience for this console has clearly shifted. It’s a shame that this gaming console has been relegated to this use case. My friends that never adopted PlayStation or PC decided that gaming was dead. I’m just glad that this gaming console has found a home. 🤷🏻♂️🤘🏼
Hey Lon! Awesome video and much appreciated. Quick question - my TV was rated as being capable of judder free at 24p by Rtings - does this mean the frame rate match wouldn’t be as necessary for me?
Only if your TV is playing at 24hz. If it is playing a 24p movie at 60hz it will face the same issue as all other TV's. Read about 3:2 pulldown if you're interested.
If im not mistaken. 60hz setting doesnt mean it is going to change the framerate of the content being displayed. So there is no need for 30hz setting for watching cinematic frame rates.
Chromecast with Google TV is a pretty good streamer. It has all the normal streaming apps, support Atmos, 4K HDR (Dolby Vision), etc. Even game streaming works well using Moonlight. Picked it up during Black Friday sales. Very happy with it!
If you're getting an Xbox for media streaming, you really should get the disc edition, even if you aren't planning on playing games. Not only will you be able to watch 4K Blu-ray's, but the console will retain greater value in the future. The best media streaming device on the market is the NVIDIA SHIELD TV from 2019, hands down. Syncler & Weyd, Cloudstream, SmartTubeNext, Projectivy Launcher, and an endless variety of Android TV apps.
@@jud-asinsmith-stansell2022 What do you mean by 'app filtering'? Are you referring to Google Play Protect? If so, you can turn that off in the Google Play settings. Or, more likely, if you are talking about how some sideloaded mobile Android apps don't show up on the main launcher, it is because the apps haven't been built with Android TV in mind, with a banner and metadata required to display the app. This can be fixed by using a third party launcher (which also solves the problem of adverts on the home screen). I've been using Projectivy Launcher and I quite like it, but other options exist. FLauncher, Wolf Launcher and Leanback Launcher are all options I have used in the past with my SHIELD. You can also use Sideload Launcher to quickly load a list of all apps on your device If you would prefer to keep the main home launcher, however, you can use Trekgonewild's Android TV / Fire OS App Launcher Builder, which you should be able to find on his website. This tool creates banners for sideloaded apps that don't show up on the home screen. You could also ask the app developer to add basic support for Android TV, to allow the app to show up on the home page, but this might take some time and require the good will of the developer to accept the request.
A lot of ppl are concerned with power consumption. If you’re interested in one of these, get it for gaming first. The media streaming is just an added bonus. The price drop on these has been extended until the 24th. I know subscriptions add up, but I’d recommend at least trying Game Pass. They have a perks section, which is like a combination of Chromebook Perks and Prime Gaming. They have in-game loot and media service deals. For example, currently, they have deals for Apple TV and Calm.
I often see the Panasonic UB-9000 listed as the best 4k disc player available these days. How does the Xbox stack up as a 4k/bluray disc player?? ~Frank
Not having a voice command for search on the Xbox controller makes it inferior to a simple Amazon Fire stick. Try having friends over and searching RUclips etc. It's a painful manual task.

Ok I've been thinking how it's redundant having Xboxes and shields on the same TVs. But that shield remote is excellent.

Yep that's another good thing to consider vs. something like Roku, or a Chromecast, and if you're like me with family that don't even know the difference in composite vs. HDMI, or balk at the site of having to use a game control to navigate something, then sticking a Roku, or Chromecast remote in their hand is so with it being the only remote they need to control the entire setup, is much simpler!!

My LG C1 does most of my streaming, though its hit or miss. Fairly frequent crashes of the Apple TV app and one or two videos in my Apple catalog won’t even properly play, like the original Clash of the Titans. I need to shell out for a 4k Apple TV unless a good ATV app comes to xbox.

I've found it to be helpful even with a Gamepass subscription - you can try a game out quickly before you go through having to download the whole thing. The best part is that it'll sync up your save game for when you do download it onto the console.

@@LonSeidman Xbox as a streaming device? This is a solution looking for a problem type of thinking. Especially for the Australian market and audience, Apple 4K TV is the gold standard. Anything else is mostly a waste of time. 🦘🇦🇺
I'd rather have more broad app support like RUclips TV which the Xbox does not support, so I'll be sticking to Roku, and Google Chromecast/ONN streaming boxes, and sticks that are cheaper to buy, and upgrade for just streaming media on multiple TVs.
Lol if you’re buying an Xbox series S for that apps your wasting your money if you have a modern TV you can just stream things like Netflix to it. (Sorry but this is no plus for the S it doesn’t even have a Blue Ray Drive to watch physical movies, you can get a Blu-ray player that can do all this for half the price)

Especially for the Australian market and audience, Apple 4K TV is the gold standard. Anything else is mostly a waste of time. 🦘🇦🇺
Show me the ports on the back and explain the hardware spec.
I'd rather have more broad app support like RUclips TV which the Xbox does not support, so I'll be sticking to Roku, and Google Chromecast/ONN streaming boxes, and sticks that are cheaper to buy, and upgrade for just streaming media on multiple TVs.
The RUclips tv app has been available for years on Xbox

The only thing Xbox is missing are the Asian media centers like Viki/Kocowa. If it had that, I would get rid of my Apple TV
Lol if you’re buying an Xbox series S for that apps your wasting your money if you have a modern TV you can just stream things like Netflix to it. (Sorry but this is no plus for the S it doesn’t even have a Blue Ray Drive to watch physical movies, you can get a Blu-ray player that can do all this for half the price)
Yeah, but if you have a monitor that doesn't have smart t, v, then you have to buy a Cod so for its apps or fire stick for its apps.
60Hz not 60p
Be careful with your electricity bill with using gaming machine just to watch movie
they're very efficient 25 watts if you wanted to save electricity you would turn off your 100 watt tv lol
For those in countries trying to save money on energy bills a console is not the way to go.
I love how everyone still can't name these Xbox models correctly. Such a naming scheme mess.
Hi I am watching your vedios, could you please tell me can I connect my sony Handycam HDR PJ200E camcorder to windows 8.1 by using that HDMI vedio capture. I want to use my camcorder for google meet live. Waiting for your reply
Sony and Nintendo work so hard to not do any of this.
XBOX consoles are incredible

Lon, I am a huge fan of your channel. No disrespect, but the thumbnail of this video rubs me the wrong way. It makes me uncomfortable. Makes it feel like a click bait type of thumbnail. Great video tho!
Did you say Apple Tv? Did you mean to say Nvidia?
Nope Apple TV! the only device that does 24p properly on most services- ruclips.net/video/UQwZWwhY2EQ/видео.html
