Something funny to consider. Happened to me this week.
When I first saw the game running before my eyes, it was on my friend's TV. I always told him his set wasn't properly calibrated, and that his games looked bland on it. Colors weren't poping out, brightness was too high making the dark areas look washed out, while the blacks were basically gray.
Basically, it made the game look bad.
A few days later, I finally got the game, and played it on my own TV. Which has been calibrated to meet the THX standard.
It was night and day. The game looks a lot more solid. And you get to appreciate the stellar graphic artistry of ND.
I know it seems like a no brainer, but most people don't have their TV or monitor properly calibrated (if at all), and you'd be surprised by the impact it has on the visual fidelity. Basically, most people don't play the game with the image set the way it was meant to be played by the developers.

Agreed. My friend's TVs look like horse shit.

You know why my friend had set his brightness so high on his TV?
Cause he can't see a damn thing in Demon Souls and Dark Souls. His favourites games. xD
But when I finally calibrated his TV, I showed him that he just had the impression that he could see better. The dark areas were just lighter tones. Basically, the dark spots still lacked details, but they were white/gray-ish, instead of dark gray or black.
After I finally calibrated his set, he thought the game's graphics looked much better. Ha ha.
