It is generally used for positive things. Things that are impressive.
Examples:
When I saw my daughter in her wedding gown, she was a sight to see. She looked so beautiful I started to cry.
All of the soldiers were standing in uniform in a perfectly straight line. There must have been 100 of them. It was a sight to see.
There is so much natural beauty in Hawaii. That’s where I saw a waterfall for the first time. It was a sight to see.

You can say
“I saw my father naked. It was a sight to see.” It would be sarcastic because your tone of voice would convey “It was terrible to see that”./ “That’s not something that a person wants to see.”
Or
You can say “I saw my father naked. It was not a sight to see.”
Same meaning.

"I saw my father naked. It was a sight to see" so that depends on the tone I say it?
e.g, I don't mean what I say
and if say
"I saw my father naked, it wasn't a sight to see."
so the tone doesn't matter?
e.g, I don't mean what I say
and if say
"I saw my father naked, it wasn't a sight to see."
so the tone doesn't matter?
