I always left the tvs picture settings as is. But since I don't have my HD cables, I figured I'd try and make-do with what I've got. Looked up a video on the relatively best picture settings for HD tvs... And holy mother Mara does this game look fantastic now. I never knew what some tweaks to brightness, sharpness, picture, and color could actually do!

Before things had color but were still... "grey". I thought this was just how Skyrim looked. Bug now everything pops. The colors really standout while not blinding you.

Messing with your settings can make it picture perfect, I tweak all of my TVs when I get them so I get the best they can offer.

mind telling us the settings? I wanna tweak my TV now

Currently it's like this:
Contrast:+50
Brightness:+45
Color:+65
Sharpness:+25
Temperature: normal

I have great visuals on my PC, this game is stunning, my background changes to a new screenshot of skyrim every 10 seconds I love it.

A brighter picture also helps in dark dungeons. Otherwise, you actually need torches and spells like candlelight.

~150 hours in, I never get tired of watching waterfalls, or just looking over cliffs.
