Re: [Xbox] Gamespot compares 360, PS3 graphics; calls it a tie

Obviously there's differences between TV's, but I'm right with ya. Usually
with an LCD HDTV I just leave it be, factory settings, but for some reason
GTA4 just looked funky and too washed out. So I fumbled around in the
controls and tweaked out the brightness, color hues/intensity and stuff and
lemme tell ya... WORLD of difference! Game still looks edgy as before, but
I can see more and the colors on the smaller bits have vastly improved. The
paint jobs on some vehicles for example, since tweaking they're more vibrant
and you can see the metallic and liquid sheens on them more than was
visible with the stock stuff.

There's a 'defaults' setting so give it a whirl and see if it makes
a difference
on yours!
