GTAIV Cell Phone - Blu-ray Forum

i4jelway7 · 05-09-2008, 07:19 PM

Is there any way to make the cell phone in GTAIV readable? the text on the cell phone is so small and dark it is almost impossible to read. I've turned the brightness up and the contrast and tweaked everything I know to do to make it readable, however it does not seem to help any... I have a 53" tv and it still doesn't help... anyone else have this problem or do I need better glasses

You can change the text size . . . if you go into the options on the phone it's under there.

The cell display is kind of on the dark side, I wish it had some kind of "backlight effect" going on so you could see it better.

If you're using a HDMI cable you should be fine!!!

Really? I think it looks just fine using composite cables.

well then you need to make some adjustments on your TV. Raise your contrast or somethin dude

BStecke · 05-09-2008, 10:14 PM

Yeah, the game is pretty dark, even on a properly calibrated set. If you go into the game options you can adjust the brightness/contrast without jacking around the settings on your TV.

If you go into the options on the phone you can change the theme. You can also buy more themes online (@ the internet cafe). Maybe a different theme would work better for you.
