So I remember buying my LG 4K Ultra HD TV during the 2015 holiday season, but so far it has only been a shadow of its true self. It has done great so far, but never managed to achieve its true potential. I tried multiple boxes - bought the Xbox One S (later traded in) and the PS4 Pro. It always managed to go far, yet not quite far enough. It was like trying to break through a wall, but never able to apply that final push - until now.



Enter Xbox One X.



Unboxed. Connected. Set up. Deployed. After about half an hour of fiddling with the settings, I reset my TV settings and turned on Vivid picture mode with Smooth motion. Unwrapped the copy of Assassins Creed Origins and patiently waited for the installation to complete. Once done I pressed start and then... BOOM!



Oh my God! I have never seen texture/picture clarity on a TV like that in my life. This was my television transformed by the sheer power of the X, pushing boundaries I had never imagined before, into the realms of native 4K gaming. The build quality, the new snappy OS upgrade makes everything else in the room look like a cheap piece of plastic - even the PS4 Pro. And no, this isn't me being a fanboy. This is me being ecstatic about the fact that my investment in my TV has finally borne fruit, albeit a couple years late.



Don't believe the hate. Believe the hype. If you have a cross platform game you want to play - buy this console - buy the game - and then prepare to be dazed. Go see it for yourself.



The KING is here - and everything else is just meant to be subservient.
