does anyone have any tips for how to best optimize your lcd hdtv settings for 360 games? I ran with a factory setting for a while and it was fine for most games, general tv viewing, and movies- but with games like GTA, it seems super dark all the time and very difficult to see... Yet if I turn up any brightness or contrast settings it makes everything look cartoonish and too bright.

I've tried using the THX calibration tests at the beginning of a DVD before, and though that yields a great picture for movies, it makes it nearly impossible to see on GTA.

The tv is a 1080p lcd hooked up with HDMI cables in a fairly dimly lit room... Any suggestions?

It all about how you want the game to look I think it looks much better with vivid bright colours go to the options and try my setting if you want pause the game go to the display option sliders and turn the brightness right the way up to the end now move it back 2 places do the same with the contrast now I have the saturation set 3 places back from the end but it also looks good with it 4 places from the end depending how colourful and vibrant you like it

changing the sliders in the game is much easier than calibrating your tv for every game.
