HDTV setting for Gaming?

I am currently using my default "Game" setting when I am playing my 360.
When I am playing CoD 4, the colorings/brightness is perfect.
But when I play GTA 4, when its night time in the game, I couldnt see anything except for the lights in the buildings.Its really really dark.

My "Game" setting is
7 Backlight,95 Contrast, 45 Brightness, 50 = Sharpness, Color , Tint

or
Samsung 32" Flat-Panel LCD HDTV** (LN32A450)

Can anybody tell me how I should set my TV so that when its "Afternoon" , its not too bright.
When its "Night time" , its not too dark.

Thank you so much!

A Contrast setting of 95% is most likely too high! Having your contrast this high will wash out the details in your white/bright areas. Try setting your contrast closer to 90 - 91%.

Your Brightness is set too low to see all the details in the black/dark areas. Try moving this setting up to 48 - 51 %. Setting the brightness too high will wash out your blacks and colors; too low and "Night time" is too dark.

You can calibrate your TV with a calibration disk. Play any DVD made by George Lucas' production company "THX" (i.e. "Cars", "Toy Story", "Monsters Inc."). These DVDs will have the "THX" logo on them. In the setup menu you will find the "THX Optimizer". Play the Video Optimizer. This video will walk you through a more precise setting for Contrast, Brightness, Color, Tint, and Sharpness. It will make a big difference in your picture quality.
