So you like crushed blacks on all your content? Ryse has nothing to do with it since they bypass the upscale filter and made their own 900p to 1080p solution.

What happens with blu-ray 24hz mode? Does it still alter the 1080p image to conform with the rest or do blu-rays look washed out like the 720p direct images?

How can everything go through XBox One, there's only 1 HDMI input. If you use an amplifier for sound you can put the amp out hdmi into the XBox One, but then the XBox One only has sound through the tv...

If the xbox one processed picture looks better then a direct link, then it can look even better when you calibrate the tv correctly, enjoy tv without crushed blacks and whiteouts. This can only be in any way beneficial if you have a tv without basic brightness/contrast/color controls.

It's fine if they add a setting in the control panel to bypass all these image filters. Pass through direct, disable sharpness/contrast/gamma adjustments. Forcing it for any content that needs to be upscaled sucks.

My point is, the 720p image looks like arse. Their is no black at all. Its dark grey or light grey. Hate that. When its dark it shoud be dark. Not dark grey. White should not be light grey.

As for amping. I use Optical Out. Also my HDTV has HDMI out which if I want can connect all 5 HDMI inputs to my amp through one HDMI cable. However I now have 1 HDMI going into TV. Because my Xbox One Plays Blurays itself. My Sky Box goes through the Xbox One. I can access internet, netflix, etc etc etc all from one input on my TV. I have it set up for Xbox One on picture nothing else.

So convienient and easy.

My point is you can calibrate the 720p image to your liking, you can't undo the image enhancements the XBox One does, detail has already been lost.

It's fine it works for you, but I have 360 (to be replaced with XBox One), ps3, ps4, WiiU and Cable PVR all going into the amp. Plus there's still a component video out DVD player, PS2 and Wii hooked up as well. All going into the amp with 1 HDMI and 1 component video cable to the tv, all HDMI sources enjoying the same calibrated image settings. Well except 360 that has darker output, needs manual change of brightness and contrast when used. So very inconvenient and not easy at all.
