Same with my Samsung TV. While some films look a bit worse with HDR off, for the most part everything else looks better.
War of the Worlds looks almost washed out and over exposed with HDR off, but Avatar: The Way of Water looks better with it off. Go figure.
I think most people use 4K SDR with match frame rate and dynamic range on for the best picture.
Sure, but OP is pointing out that not all HDR is created equal. LED screens without full-array local dimming of the backlight might not do HDR that is really any better than SDR, even if it is brighter. It's worth trying some content with and without HDR matching enabled.
Yup that’s what all the YouTube videos about “best video settings for Apple TV” say.
On my TLC I found the brightness of some HDR content is actually dimmer then when set to SDR, so I just have HDR off and it’s way way better. I’m using a 4K 3rd gen and the color balance setting.
Yeah TBH I feel HDR is wasted on average panels and unless you have a mini LED, OLED or a high end LCD panel just stick with SDR. You really need good peak brightness and contrast for HDR to be effective.
That's because your TV is cheap and not properly calibrated in its HDR presets.
