Yes absolutely worth it especially if you have something like an LG CX to run it on.
Funnily enough I bought a One X off a mate last month, then a Series X a week or so ago. There’s not a lot in it that I can see so far.
Night and day for me. Maybe return or sell your Series X then ? Seems daft keeping it if you cant see much difference.

Its probably only because I play GTA online which won’t exploit it.

Do you have a suitable 4K TV to be able to show the difference?

Sure do - a brand new 65” Sony.

My lad game shares with his friend, but managed to set up my Series S so that I could also access his games. To do this I need to log into his account as well as mine, however if i'm playing and he turns on his Series X then my game auto quits as only oe of us can be connected at the same time. Looks like I need to buy my own Gold & GPU, so I'll be doing the £1 GPU trick, and if I can get a free or free trial VPN I'll get the Turkish Gold.

What you do is one account for gold logged in on both and then two other accounts

Outer wilds with the echos of the eye dlc now reduced to £20 on MS store. I loved the game when it was on game pass so I’ve snapped it up. The DLC is pretty good so far.

Pleased with the switch from the series S to X too. No need for a separate blu ray player, no more video tearing and I can play my old disc based classics once again.

Bargain. My we nephews asked me for a "scuff"

£50? Oh aye I could always get them...

They got create your own milkshake sets when I seen the £200 price tag once I googled it. No chance.

Edit. Considering getting myself it now though. How much easier would drop shotting be on COD...

Have you tried buying direct from Microsoft? It allows you to add them to your cart, but it's not clear if they're actually in stock. If they have got stock, they're £55 with free shipping.

This has turned costly. I got a 55" LG C1 delivered yesterday for the playroom.
The difference is incredible.

I might get a new TV as checking settings the refresh rate is not the full X box series X one

I got a70 or so last year, short of my projector it’s the best screen experience ever, so vivid and true to picture out of the box

Treat yourself to the new blade runner on it

In other news my series x has arrived a day early

Going to buy Valhalla as it’s so cheap

LG C1 seems to be the one everyone is recommending & to be honest i can see why. I've been a Panasonic fanboy since the 50PZ70 plasma came out.
However I'm now firmly in a different camp.
Sat & watched Despicable Me 2 with my 6 yo last night & it was immense. Our panny is a 55" one thats in the lounge & the LG is far better

I've been researching getting an OLED, I currently have Panasonic plasma TV's in the house. Consensus appears to be that if your using the TV for both TV programme watching and gaming then the LG OLED's seem best, but for TV viewing only then the Panasonic JZ1000/15000/2000 seem best.
