then i went to the "general setting, power and energy savings, brightness optimization, i then raised minimum brightness all the way {50}. this solved the problem. hope this helps . blue clue

Thanks for the tips. TVs and monitors can vary as far as how dark or bright the picture looks, even when set "identically" as each other, so it's a good idea to tweak their settings before trying to tweak a game's video settings.

As far as exploring in dark dungeons, I highly recommend acquiring and quickslotting Almalexia's Enchanted Lantern so you can use it in dark places to see better. Even if you can see well enough in the dark without it, you'd be amazed at how many urns, coffers, and other small containers you can miss without a good light to see by.
