HOW TO...
GET THE BEST GEAR FOR YOU4K TVs HEADSETS
MAKE THE MOST OF
HAVING MULTIPLE XBOXES
Making your Xbox your ‘Home’
console means everybody with a
profile on your Xbox One can access
all the games and apps you own, on
any console, without signing in as
you (unless you’ve restricted
access via Family Features). Just go
to Settings > Personalisation > My
Home Xbox to make that console
your Home, or un-Home it. When you
change Home consoles, all licences
for digital content move to your new
Home Xbox and are no longer
available on the old one – though
your previous Home Xbox will still
allow your friends and family to
access your stuff while you’re
signed in. Note, however, that you
can only change your Home console
five times within a one-year period,
and customer support isn’t able to
offer additional switches.REMAP YOUR CONTROLLER
On the Xbox One X, have your
Controller at the ready, head to
Kinect & Devices in Settings. From
the list of devices you have paired,
select the controller you want and
‘Configure’. From here you can
remap every button, permanently
invert X/Y axes, swap the
functionality on the sticks, triggers,
the lot. If there are a few gamers in
your home using the same console,
you can link Gamertags to specific
controllers. Settings/Account, then
activate Controller Sign In... this
means that when a button on a
specific gamepad is pressed, the
player linked to that controller will
be signed in!LG OLED77C8PUA 77"
OLED 4K SMART TV
£7,385/$8,999.99 BEST HIGH-END OLED
OLED TVs are the best you can buy, and LG’s
signature C8 range is the ultimate in 4K
home entertainment if you care about every
single pixel. And we do. If you’ve got a big
enough house and wallet, there are 55” and
66” options too.LG OLED55B7V 55"
OLED TV
£1,499/$1,830 BEST MID-RANGE OLED
Being OLED, its black levels are stunning for
an intensely rich picture. But that’s not all,
it boasts best-in-class HDR, and great
sound for its size. You also get four HDMI
ports and two USB ports and one USB3 port,
while LG’s user interface is easy to use.SAMSUNG QN55Q6FNA
55" QLED 4K TV
£869/$1060 BEST QLED
Proves good 4K HDR for your Xbox One X
doesn’t have to cost the earth. An HDR+
plus mode and a stylish edge-less bezel
make your games feel like they’re in an
infinity pool, while the 1080p upscaling
makes older games look great, too.SAMSUNG UE55NU8000
55" 4K TV
FROM £849/$1,035 BEST LED
A great mid-range option. A respectable
19ms input lag when hooked to an Xbox
One X means it’s better for competitive
gamers than many TVs twice as expensive.
Edge-lit backlight means black levels can’t
compete with OLED screens, though
general screen uniformity is very good.PHILIPS 43PUS6753/12
43" 4K TV
£430/$525 BEST BUDGET 4K
If you’re looking to spend as little as
possible, but don’t want to compromise on
quality, then this is for you. Naturally warm
colours lend HDR games and movies a really
nice tone. Considering it’s less than the
price of an Xbox One X, the still-respectable
input lag of 27ms is a small price to pay.TURTLE BEACH
STEALTH 600
£89.99/$99.95 BEST NEW HEADSET
Turtle Beach reckons these wireless cans
will give you ‘Superhuman Hearing’. A
dubious claim, but the audio is certainly
great, with virtual surround sound helping
you to identify where any would-be
assassins are creeping up from.RAZER KRAKEN
TOURNAMENT EDITION
£99.99/$99.99 BEST VALUE
This headset’s quality belies its mid-range
price point. With a comfortable design and
50mm drivers that deliver a clear, loud THX
spacial surround sound that’s great for
online play, it’s the perfect compromise of
performance and cost.SOUND BLASTER X H7
TOURNAMENT EDITION
£79.99/$99.99 BEST FOR AUDIO
These pro-level headphones boast
upgraded 50mm drivers for crystal-clear
surround sound, great mic quality and
noise cancellation. Adapts to other forms of
media well, perfect for Fortnite as much as
for blockbuster movies. Comfy cans too.TURTLE BEACH ELITE
PRO 2
£229.99/$249.95 BEST HIGH-END
We’re all looking for that competitive edge
when it comes to multiplayer games, and if
you’ve got the dosh, this headset is
superior. Its spacial sound is really
something and it’s super comfortable and
sturdy, too – with a kind of brutalist,
ergonomic yet stylish design.OFFICIAL XBOX STEREO
HEADSET
£39.99/$59.99 BEST BUDGET

Microsoft – it’s cheap, but it delivers a full
range of rich stereo audio. It also has a
unidirectional mic and handy controls over
