HDTV calibration for Skyrim

Post » Wed Jan 09, 2013 9:50 pm

(First of all, I'd like to apologize if the topic is in the wrong forum. It's not a hardware or software problem, so I wasn't sure where to put it. If it is in the wrong place, I'm sure a moderator will move it to the correct place.)

I play on a PS3 (yeah, I know...) connected to a Samsung HDTV and I noticed that the calibration I use for movies (which was accurately set up, to the best of my capabilities, using a Digital Video Essentials blu-ray disc) makes Skyrim look too yellow and murky. Instead of being blue, the sky is almost green.

My question is: does anyone know if Skyrim is correctly calibrated according to the industry standard of D65 / Rec.709? I know the game uses a desaturated color palette for artistic reasons (and I actually like it), I just wanted to know if it was created using the D65 standard or not.

Thanks for any info.
