My one X is having terrible artifacting all over the screen with red, is it an HDMI port or something more serious?
Is this a good question?

@thattechman have you tried a different display? Also, try a different HDMI cable.

In my experience that can be caused by the HDMI port, or one of the EMI filters between the port and the retimer. If a different cable or display doesn't fix the issue, check to see if the port feels loose at all, or if there's any visible damage inside the port. If not, it might be an issue with one of those filters. If you have soldering experience, they are a fairly easy repair, but I'd recommend taking it to a repair shop that offers component level repair if you don't have the equipment/experience for it.

@thattechman so it showed red on another display as well and replacing the HDMI cables?
