Hey all,


For all this time i've been playing my games and especially lately mostly Oblivion to get in the mood for Skyrim, using the Xbox 360 settings as follows:

In the display settings i have expanded for reference level,and RGB for hdmi color space. However, i've been told that expanded is only meant for pc monitors and i am on a plasma television. On another forum they provided me with a test pattern and apparently the expanded setting crushed the black levels of my tv, and thats not how it should be. All this time dungeons/caves/tombs were incredibly dark in Oblivion, and i always had to lit a torch or use a light spell...always. Is this how it's supposed to be? Cause now that i am using the standard setting in reference level and 'auto' at hdmi color space, dungeons are MUCH brighter now, and even if i was to crank the game's brightness completely down..i can still see things. Is this how it was always supposed to be?

So basically...people on a plasma television (and if there aren't any folks with plasma, then LCD) what reference level and hdmi color space setting are you guys using? I know there's probably no such thing as 'how its meant to be played' but still...how the developer meant it to be.

It was never soo dark for me that I couldn't survive without a torch in the dungeons, so I'm guessing its either supposed to be bright enough or somewhere in between.
