This.Again: the main reason for this is because you're probably watching SDR way out of spec.
I don't think many people would struggle to see the benefit of HDR if they were comparing a calibrated SDR image to HDR.
But TVs now have the option to display SDR far brighter and more vivid than it was ever intended to look, which can outshine the HDR image that is forced to be displayed in a more accurate way by default.
Calibrated SDR on the left, calibrated HDR on the right:
Both images have a similar brightness, but HDR has a more natural color palette and an extended dynamic range.
Note how the sky in SDR washes out to a flat gray area (limited dynamic range) while the sky in HDR has the sun and lens flare stand out as much brighter objects against it.
The sun might be 100 nits against a 90 nits sky in SDR, but it could be 1000 nits against a 90 nits sky on the HDR display - and it would stand out a lot more when viewed in person.
SDR out-of-spec on the left, vs calibrated HDR:
SDR is bright, vivid, and unnatural.
Instead of using the extra brightness to extend the dynamic range, the flat gray sky is now extremely bright. Instead of 90 nits as intended, the sky might be pushed to 450 nits.
There's no extra detail - the sun still barely stands out against the sky due to the limited dynamic range, but it's bright.
I guess like $1,000 max lol. I don't think I've ever spent more than $600 on a TV actually. I only got this one because it seemed like a decent 4K option.
Assuming that's USD, $600-$100 is the range where good HDR really becomes accessible, I'd look at some of the sets here: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-price/under-1000
I have a 2016 LG OLED (C6) and it supports Dolby Vision. Are you sure yours doesn't? I thought all 2016 LG OLEDs did. I watch Dolby Vision on Netflix, Disney Plus and 4k blurays.

Super late on this but from that link, would you recommend the Hisense or the Roku? From the sound of it, both have similar HDR performance but the Roku actually has an 120Hz refresh rate (Hisense apparently doesn't accept 120Hz signals) which would be interesting to try out.
RTings says this on the TCL's review page: "The Hisense H9G is much better than the TCL 6 Series/R635 2020. The Hisense has a better local dimming feature, handles reflections much better, has a quicker response time, and has a lower input lag. However, the TCL displays a wider color gamut and has better built-in speakers." So, by going with the TCL you'd be sacrificing better picture quality for 120 Hz output which is still fairly rare and all of the TVs in your budget would be limited to 1080p anyway. Considering 99% of the content you're going to use on the TV is going to be 60 Hz or less, I wouldn't make that trade off.
Nope; they display has to be able to understand the HDR10 signal.
I finally did that on my Q70R and the blooming subtitles are gone, yay
Samsung Global Dimming Game Mode Fix
So I got a new 50MU6120 and I've been annoyed straight off the bat by global dimming that can't be disabled. I just figured it out if anyone wants to know how. So people say you are stuck using movie mode and having horrible input lag just to disable it. The trick is to get into the service...www.avforums.com
A few things you should take note.
1. You will need a 3rd party or an older Samsung remote control to do this. The smart remote that came with the Q60T will not work due to the lack of buttons.
2. For Q60T series, instead of highlighting Advanced and pressing 0000 as shown in the guide above. You should highlight Advanced and hold Volume Up for 5 seconds instead.
3. Entering the service menu will reset all of your picture settings for all sources. You may want to take note of your current picture settings (Contrast, brightness, etc) before doing this. I also highly recommend taking photos of the service menu before you change any settings and safekeep it, in case you need to change back the values.
4. Any software update done on the TV will revert the PWM values back to its factory settings, for this reason I recommend that you disable auto system update in the TV settings. The Q60T has been out for several months and the software is pretty stable already IMHO.
Sounds tedious but its worth it. I changed the values once and never touched it again since then.
What this PWM setting does is that it will fix the issue where by the entire picture will auto dim itself when the scene is very dim / dark. Not sure if you ever noticed it but you can check YouTube for several examples.
hey were you able to do this with q70r remote, what remote do you use for this?
I found an old Samsung remote (10+ years old) which worked fine.
I read somewhere that enabling intelligent mode brightness would help
Like others have said,turn off HDR. I had the 65 inch version of this tv and the HDR was trash. I have the x900h now and it's night and day difference.
