I would say full color or full color/full sharpness. Still kind of depends on the actual brand, and going full isn't always the best idea. You can get a lot of halo or "bleed" affects if there is too much and you would need to adjust your saturation.

Still, looking at a tv screenshot smaller than the size of an index card doesn't give the best idea of what is really happening with your screen.

I am a fan of colors and contrast. I voted for full color and max sharpness.

Full colour and mid sharpness would probably look better then max sharpness.

Get a Calibration DVD and set your TV up properly, then it will look best with any game.

Something like this that comes with a Mylar to help you set color balance

Go with your heart young michealpk. If you do what you think is right, you can't go too wrong.

I am playing in black and white. I love it but I am only playing in black and white for my current character on skyrim.
I will use the most voted for my other characters.

Even then some games require a bit of alteration. Sure you can get a good all-around setting, but there is plenty to optimize for specific titles to handle different lighting and glow. I typically optimize for a couple titles, and just deal with the rest as it's usually pretty good for those.

Don't even need to buy a calibration DVD, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG0Xgpqk7EY

In the end, it all depends on your visual preference. I tend to have a bit of color blindness so I set colors a tad less saturated than than what most, but turn the contrast up higher for example.

Why not use the one you like most, instead of the one we like most? You're the one playing the game.

What purpose would this poll serve? Asking "what looks best" is rather moot when people have a variety of settings when looking at the image.

Currently, at work, and the monitor I'm using isn't as good as my TV at home (I use as a monitor).

Sorry, but if it's just for posting images on the web, any of them are fine.

the poll is to see what people think looks better for playing Skyrim. It is not for posting images.
