While the original Xbox One is technically capable of supporting 4K gaming and video, it has an HDMI 1.4a port, meaning it can only output 4K at 30Hz, which is very limiting. The Xbox One adds support for HDMI 2.0a, so it now supports proper 4K 60Hz output.
Yes, you need a new player, as standard Blu-ray players can't handle the new discs. Fortunately, Ultra HD Blu-ray players will play just about any disc you throw at them, including all your existing DVDs, Blu-rays, and any old CDs you've got lying around.
An Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player can play 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs, Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and CDs. If you have 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc player connected to a non-4K TV, the player will be able to detect what the resolution capability of the TV and downscale its video output accordingly, if the output is set to Auto.
A 4k BluRay will not play in a DVD player. A 4k BluuRay will not play in a standard BluRay player. A 4k BluRay player connected to a standard full-HD TV via an HDMI connection should (I've not tried this) gracefully degrade the picture to full-HD (1080p).
Note Use either the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable or the Xbox 360 Component HD AV cable to correctly view high-definition content on a high-definition television (HDTV). If you try to set HDTV settings, you may lose the picture. Check your TV settings. Some display issues can be caused by the way the TV is set up.
And of course Xbox 360 has HDR. The PS3 has it too. HDR is last-gen. The Xbox 360 has a seperate 10 MB of eDRAM dedicated solely for anti-aliasing and HDR (if not, just anti-aliasing).
Things get better when you actually play these games, because in many cases they run vastly better on the new hardware. 360 games load faster and often run smoother than they did on their original system, meanwhile, and sometimes even get specific enhancements for the Xbox One S and X.
The PS3 won't be able to handle 4K. It has to upscale to whatever resolution it can and then display it on a large screen. So yeah, it is going to look much worse.
Power off both your Xbox 360 and Samsung LCD TV. Find the HDMI input on your TV. This is usually found on the back of the set with the rest of the inputs. Insert the HDMI cable into the TVs HDMI port, and insert the other end into the Xbox 360's HDMI port.
If you want to connect an Xbox 360 to an older TV that doesn't have an HDMI port, use the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable. If you have a TV with an HDMI port, use a standard HDMI cable to connect the console to the TV. Look at the back of the Xbox and the side or back of the TV to see what's needed.
You don't need any special software or hardware to play DVDs on your Xbox 360 console. To start: Insert a DVD into the disc drive of the Xbox 360 console and turn on the console. The console automatically starts to play the DVD.
The Xbox 360 E console has built in Wi-Fi. If you have a wireless network, you don't need anything else. The Xbox 360 S console's built-in Wi-Fi communicating with a wireless router. Note You can use an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter with the Xbox 360 E console.
The original Xbox One has no 4K capabilities, but the Xbox One S and Xbox One X can stream video and play games in 4K. The Xbox One X is the only model to have "native" 4K, however, which means that its 4K resolution is higher quality than the One S, which has "upscaled" 4K.
Xbox 360 has a similar release time to PS3, but PS3 can Play Blu-ray disc and Xbox 360 cannot. To play Blu-ray on Xbox 360, you will need to rip Blu-ray disc to Blu-ray digital video and import the Blu-ray movie into Xbox 360.
