Slightly disappointing but I'm not going to cancel my preorder over it. I could notice my One S 1080p IU compared to my PS4 pro on a 55 inch 4k screen, but bearly. I'm more surprised that for the UI to go from 1080p to 4k requires an extra Gb of ram.

The Xbox Series X UI runs At 1080p

TIL that the Xbox One X dashboard that I've looked at several hundred times in the last few years displays at 1080p.
It's safe to say that I'm entirely unbothered about the Series X displaying at the same resolution.

No, the UI is the thing I see for 3 seconds in between games.
And like you said, rendering at lower resolution gives more resources to games.
this concern trolling is getting tiring. First the "its so hot you'll burn yourself" and now this.
I want this same energy when we get game that is 4K checkerboard/reconstruction vs native 4K resolution on these consoles.
Lets just be glad that we are saving hours of loading with these SSDs.
Some users can be ridiculous sometimes

I certainly noticed the difference when I went from the PS4 to the Pro. It's more crisp.
I honestly can't believe people care about this. If the devs can use the extra power then I'd rather that be the case rather than having a slightly crisper looking dashboard.
Console wars gonna console wars.
During this time there will be many things that surfacing that seem trivial but will become things of legend in the name of wins for X or Y.
This is what I think too. Like not one person has even noticed until today LOL. So a few tiles aren't going to be 4k. If that allows for even a few hundred megabytes to be free'd up to devs it's worth it IMO.
I have had a one X attached to my 65 inch 4k TV for a few years and I completely forgot/never noticed that it wasn't 4k.
Nothing, I mean the opposite of what you are thinking, what I mean is when I buy a new console my concerns is if I am one of the luck bastards with a defective unit, I don't care for UI resolution.
Whilst it's certainly a tertiary element of a system, I've still spent a fair amount in mine, eg looking at screenshots I've personally taken, or that have been shared in messages, plus videos, editing videos, transferring files, sending and typing messages, arranging or managing parties, browsing the store, libraries, storage options, looking at content and streams from other users, checking trophies/achievements, using integrated apps, searching users from LFG groups or recently played to add in parties and so on.
But again, if a 4K UI is really going to cost 1GB of extra memory vs the 1080p alternative, and developers are asking to use it for games, so be it.
User Warned: Conspiracy Theories
How ever can I enjoy my Dirt 5 play through at 4K 120 fps if the system start menu is at 1080 p?
Sounds like a click bait article from another gaming "journalist" desperate for views.

Switch 720p UI res doesn't bother me
1080p better efficient use than wasteful 4k on just some UI
Sony should actually do the same

Ewww. Sub-native UI is one of my pet peeves :/
Wouldn't have expected MS would do that to squeeze out more RAM out of the system already.

It's a little bit of a bummer, but I don't think it's a big deal at all. Never thought the dashboard looked bad on my 4K TV. Heck, I don't even think the Switch's 720p UI looks bad on it either. Not sure where people are getting the idea of it being blurry.
I'm fine with it. Just wish it would let me put my games in the horizontal list. I stare at it for less than 5 minutes a time
Nobody is, honestly. At worst, you've got people being let down because it's less than expected, but it's a molehill -> mountain situation. I don't think anybody is genuinely *upset*, though.
It's 1080p
I would have liked that pin sharp text of the PS4, but I presume that MS know what they are doing and this is a worthy sacrifice on their machine.
To be completely fair, we had months of concern trolling about Sony not showing off their UI and now that there's slightly negative news about the Xbox UI people suddenly claim they don't care and don't spend more than 3 seconds in the UI between games. The double standards are quite annoying.
People can legitimately care or not care about the resolution of the UI. Both opinions can exist and should be tolerated.
like me running windows in 1080p between my gaming sessions on my 4K Display, cant believe people are happy to accept this more like!?
Having a preference ≠ 'upset'. The need to paint people as hysterical when ever anyone doesn't like or is surprised by something is one of the most tiresome aspects of this board.
We don't really need to discuss why Twitter isn't a good measurement of people being real about a topic like this one, right?
My tv is 4k and I'm paying $500 for the system so its kinda lame. jagged edges on fonts will be less than what I would like from the product.
Don't care in the slightest. Didn't even notice on the One X. Rather have the resources used for games.
There are no jagged edges on the fonts... wtf are you talking about?
Wait, the PS4 Pro UI is 4k? Because then i'm even more amazed at how this thread is at 17 pages.
Some are justifiably surprised, others can be explained by watching about 30 seconds of this clip (related to the heat "drama", but still applies)
I mean, I would assume as I go to insert or retrieve a disc, the lower resolution on my 55 inch will let me see the pixel edges more. I guess we'll see
Lmao fair. I had a look on my face when I read what you said at first haha
what's wrong with reusing the UI? why change something if it works? Folks like you are using ANYTHING to bash the platform.
I remember reading about this quite often to be fair. Especially in the console warring phase after the Xbox One launched. It's not unheard of.
up until about 6 hours ago the UI was apparently super important
