Since the minute I started playing I noticed the graphics were blurry, not sharp at all. is it my hdtv? or thats the way its supposed to be? How can the graphics be qualified with a perfect 10 if it looks like that? I know the details and lightening are awesome but it looks like running below 720p. WTF! in the box says 1080p my tv is 1080p and it looks not perfect , not a 10 at all

I was expecting better graphics as well, but after playing it for awhile I don't even notice. The game is so good, it doesn't matter.

GTA series has never been known for stellar graphics... but it also depends on your TV. like a 61 inch TV which i have won't look as good in 720p as say a 40 inch TV. Why? Because it's the same resolution stretched out on a bigger screen.

The PS3 version of the game is displayed at 630p which is why it looks blurry.

I think thats just the look of the game. Iam not impressed with graphics. I doesn't deserve a 10 graphically maybe a 7.5.

I don't believe it's your TV. The game uses large amount of Bloom.

What will help:

- Head to video options and scroll up Brightness and Contrast almost to the end, but not all the way as it gets to bright during the day.

- Turn down the third option under it, I believe it's called Color almost all the way down.

It makes GTA IV much more enjoyable and less blurry. ^_^
