Microsoft Acknowledges Color Space Issue On Metro Dash


Submitted by Demonchild; January 20, 2012


In more Microsoft related news, they have finally acknowledged, (or at least Major Nelson did) the fact that there is indeed a decrease of quality in videos that are viewed on a Xbox that has the Metro dashboard installed. More specifically, the limited color space results in less colors being used to display the videos resulting in faded colors and blacks.

The video issue was first uncovered during the beta period for the Metro dash where it was reported by users to Microsoft. At the time however, Microsoft was uninterested in the issue and just ignored it completely, even after release. To make matters worse, there was no response from Microsoft even after it made media headlines.

Yesterday, Major Nelson announced on Twitter that they are aware of the issue and are working for a fix. No ETA has been given for it however.
