Not just gamma but chaning it to "game mode" as well as motion blur effects, offset, contrast, dynamic contrast, white balance, ISO, vibrancy, motion lighting, colour and colour tone, black tone, hdmi black levl, dark tone, flesh tone, Mpeg noise filter, Hdmi noise filter, digital noise filter, LED motion plus....theres more settings than that I just can't think of them off the top of my head. What kind of TV are you using? Something from the stone age?

Thanks for the laundry list.  You could name 40 more options and it still wouldn't explain a game going from average to jizz on the walls amazing.  Unless your settings were all set to completely black/zero, I'm not buying it.  It almost sounds like you're marketing for ND,  which is why this is so silly.

I've had some pretty gorgeous games on my tv from the stone age and not once has changing the settings made a change so astronomical.  And should you want to argue "buht itz naughty DOgg gwafix!  Unchawted isdabes!", The Last of Us, Xenoblade X and MGS5 would like a word with you.

It can make a significant difference. We had endless debates about 360 vs ps3 graphics, which mostly boiled down to washed out vs crushed blacks, or limited vs full RGB captures and displaying on the wrong device.

Anyway a simple brightness/contrast tweak to 'stretch' the image to full RGB and a bit of simple color balance does this


A lot closer to how it looks on tv, at least on the monitor I tweaked the picture on. (still compressed file though)
