What Gamma level do you use?

Hi, so just a quick question to all of you enjoying this game. Around what bar do you have your gamma set to?

Mine was in the center by default, and as with most games it says move the slider until the image is barely visible. However, I am able to see the image even at the lowest possible gamma setting.

I know this could be completely personal preference, but I sometimes worry that the setting I have it on will not display the game in the way it was intended to look. I am assuming that setting the gamma to the lowest possible value would look just awful.

So I would love to know what all you graphics-enthusiasts have your gamma set to? I have a basic HP monitor with brightness and gamma set to 60 (on the monitor, not the in-game setting).

I can provide more information if necessary.

Also, I am not saying that the color is coming in badly, I just want to have the gamma set to the best possible setting in order to experience the best colors and visuals as possible!

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post!

It must mean your screen is too bright. You should be careful with that cause the more brightness you display the more risk for your eyes to be damaged. Try to adjust your screen brightness first then you can play with gamma.

What I usually do is set my TV screen to 'movie' setting so it darkens the image and puts lots of contrast. Then I adjust the light with gamma by sliding up a little.

Thanks, I'll try this out. At what point on the slider does the image disappear for you?

I use the cutscene lighting mod and set my gamma to the lowest setting in the game
