Before opening this thread I already knew:
(a) it had been started by ethomaz (sigh, not got any games to play so hunt the net for Xbox One problems?), and
(b) this 'story' was lifted straight form NeoGaf like all of ethomaz's other stories.
I have my Xbox One set up with my plasma and the picture is fantastic on games, TV, blu ray and every other media. I took the time to go into Display and Sound Settings.... you know the menu which lets you set up resolution, connection type (HDMI vs DVI), Colour depth (8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit, expressed x3 as 24, 30 and 36), RGB levels range, and audio.
There’s also the Calibrate HDTV wizard where you are advised to turn off dynamic contrast and edge enhancement and which colour temperature setting to use before starting the fine tuning.
You can adjust the picture to eliminate overscan, edge enhancement, and black and white crush. There is also a basic colour adjustment step which can be used with a “Blue only” mode (Samsung and LG TVs have this).
I wonder if the people who report crushed blacks and overdone edge enhancement actually took the time to visit this set-up menu....
No doubt there will be people attacking this post. Just to forewarn you I won't be responding - I will be too busy playing Ryse and Forza 5 (both of which are excellent by the way).

I guess the people at AVForums are incompetent too?

Even the xbox one blu-ray player review from blu-ray.com stated crushed blacks in Star Trek into Darkness.
Anyway all I want is an option to turn it all off. The calibrate menu is right to advise you to turn off edge enhancement on your tv, yet then the scaler adds it on its own anyway... Calibration should happen on the display, any mid to high end display will do a better job than messing with image settings in the middle of the signal chain. Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth.
And btw it's the scaler that is crushing blacks and adding edge enhancement. Ryse and Forza 5 don't use the scaler, so you're fine there.
