PlayStation 5 has a hidden setting that'll instantly boost your graphics

You might not be making the most out of your PlayStation 5 graphics if you’ve not changed this hidden setting.

Video games can rightfully be considered as a work of art whether it’s visual or audio. After all, art is in the eye of the beholder with video games never looking and sounding as good as they do today whether you play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch.

Check out the PS5 Pro trailer below!

In this modern era with so much money pumped into productions not to mention large development teams, AAA games especially are amongst the upper echelon of highly detailed graphics and at least when it comes to consoles, the PlayStation 5 Pro is head and shoulders above its rivals (for now).

If you were fortunate enough to pick up a PlayStation 5 Pro, you can take advantage of “PS5 Pro Enhanced” games which include the likes of The Last of Us Part I and Part II Remastered, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered and more.

That being said, regardless of whether you play on the standard PlayStation 5 or the Pro version, your games won't look the best if you have the wrong settings. So be sure to have the correct settings enabled in the ‘Screen and Video’ section on your PS5.

Yet, simply adjusting your console settings might not be enough, as brought to our attention by Redditor Dipstickpattywack.

“Today I was looking at the 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 4K HDR,” they began to explain. “Turns out my TV HDMI settings had the “deep colour” option disabled by default. So 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.”

“I was fooled because it was capable of 1080p HDR with the default settings which triggered my TV to show the HDR indicator as being on, so I just figured it was displaying 4KHD,” they concluded.

Of course, settings vary depending on what TV model you own, so be sure to check your settings on both your 4K TV and PlayStation 5.
