NEED HELP! TV settings.

Post » Sun Feb 07, 2016 1:08 am

Im sure we all know that this game doesnt have any type of settings. I have an Xbox One and it has sort of a helper in its settings to adjust your tv settings to a good look. I used that. But Fallout 4 looks a lot different than other games. It looks terrible. Ive fiddled with my tv settings to try to make it better with no luck. If i fix the brightness, its too dark, if i fix the darkness, its too bright. Dont even get me started on the color and contrast. I really dont know what to do. Ive made it the best i can but still not the best it could be. I am using an lg tv around 42 - 48 inch. My settings go from 0-100. I also have advanced settings with dynamic contrast and black levels and stuff like that. If anyone has had the same problem and fixed it, could you please share your tv settings with me.

I agree that the lack of an in game brightness setting is ridiculous, nor is it sensible for them to try and excuse it by saying all displays should be calibrated. I'd also prefer if they're going to desaturate colors so heavily, that they offer different color palette settings like some games do.



On my Panasonic IPS TV with CCFL backlighting, I drop Backlight from 40 to 30, and Brightness from 50 to 40. I also bump Color from 35 to 45. Although I also wear GammaRay gaming glasses that have a very pale yellow tint, which besides blocking harmful blue light, enhances contrast and color richness slightly.



Some LG TVs though, like older model IPS ones, seem a bit quirky when it comes to color settings. I was trying to adjust the overly yellow looking tint out of one by lowering just the color that applied to it, but there was zero change.

Its weird that one of the biggest games out right now doesnt have any picture settings. I looked online but it seems that all the help i could find was for PCs. I cant do much color adjusting on my tv because i dont have that blue setting or the glasses to do it. And youre right about the color not having much change unless you change it drastically. Which then it would be changed too much.

I have a Vizio E370VL,first thing is to disable any AUTOMATIC calibrating and Brightness and contrast settings.



Do things manually when adjusting colors and brightness and contrast and also disable any automatic dimmers that save power for your tv.



I set mine in colored temperature for PC use instead TV to balance the white colors,so the colors don't look yellowish if you have that option on your TV.



Just make sure to tun off all any settings that says automatic,set them manually.



Mine comes with automatic picture setting like sharpness,noise reduction,adaptive luma,film mode,backlight control,ambient light sensor,color enhancement,all those setting are off and I manually set the setting to my settings I like.
