Xbox One X: 10 Critical Reactions You Need To Know
8. 4K Media Support Is Strong
"Like the One S before it, the One X is now the most appealing console for home theater enthusiasts thanks to its ultra-HD Blu-ray drive and Dolby Atmos audio support. That ability to play 4K movies off of physical media is something the competing PS4 Pro strangely doesn’t offer." - IGN
"Beyond gaming, the console is also perfect for media junkies - there’s 4K Netflix on-board alongside a 4K app for YouTube, Amazon will make its Prime Video app UHD compatible starting on November 7 and, when all else fails, there’s a 4K Blu-ray player built into the box - a feature that no other console maker has at the moment. The console also supports Dolby Atmos audio, among other audio formats, making video playback sound as good as it looks." - Techradar
"Aside from games, the Xbox One X is also an entertainment center of sorts. The 4K Blu-ray drive will bring you crisp movies with Dolby Atmos and HDR 10 (but no Dolby Vision) support, and it’s an addition the PS4 Pro lacks." - The Verge
Though Microsoft has taken a few steps back from their arguably excessive obsession with media support in the past, the One X nevertheless takes good care of users who want to watch 4K video content on the platform.
In addition to the litany of apps, the console comes with a 4K Blu-ray drive, something even the PS4 Pro hilariously doesn't have, ensuring that you can play UHD Blu-rays without needing to buy an expensive additional player.
Simply, the One X is a great all-rounder, primed not only for 4K games but eye-popping 4K video also.
