You shouldn’t assume that your console is automatically set up to provide the best graphics output.
In many cases, it most likely will be but, of course, we’re all using different monitors and TVs.
Some people will be using the pricey 4K OLED variety, while others may be making use of the same TV they’ve had for the last five years.

As such, you’re going to want to adjust the settings to best suit what it is that you’re using, as was recently highlighted by a case study provided by one PlayStation 5 user.
This tip is going to assist those of you with a TV or monitor capable of outputting 4K resolution.
Ghost of Yōtei is set to land on PlayStation 5 this year, although a launch date hasn’t yet been announced.
A PlayStation 5 owner took to the r/PS5 subreddit to share their experience.
“Today, I was looking at video settings and noticed I couldn’t have 2160p with HDR on because ‘my device didn’t support it’ even though my TV and HDMI cable do support 4KHDR,” they began.

“Turns out my TV HDMI settings had the ‘deep colour’ option disabled by default. I enabled the option and the difference is night and day. Anyway, if you haven’t ever checked your video settings and have a big fancy 4K TV, you may wanna check your TV and PS5 settings to make sure you aren’t limiting your settings somehow.”
They continued, “I was fooled because it was capable of 1080pHDR with the default settings which triggered my TV to show the HDR indicator as being on so I just figured it was displaying 4KHD.”
“It just says my device didn’t support it, so I never bothered to double check. I had my PS5 for three years now, maybe I should double check the TV,” replied putsdryyy.
“Ok now I'm worried I've been doing the same with my LG TV. Deep colour setting, you say? I'll check it,” added another user.

“Holy crap, it’s like I overclocked my TV wtf thanks bro!” commented michaelfortu.
