HDR makes stuff look blurry?

It's either not calibrated correctly or the TV doesn't have great HDR. There are a lot of TVs that say they are HDR ready but kind of suck at it lol
But I would just go and mess with the settings for a bit and see if anything can be tweaked or a weird setting effect could be turned off.

Do you see this in all content? Some shows blur parts of the image for artistic reasons. The biggest culprit that comes to mind is Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. I was watching that and thought something was wrong with my TV. I have seen other shows do it.
But if you see it on everything, and it is always in a specific location on your screen, yeah something is off.

Someone else mentioned what I'm sure was this exact model of TV in gaming side claiming the picture was "dim" in games that used HDR and the consensus was that this was a bad model of television that technically had "HDR" but was really poor at it.
edit:
Close but not the exact same model. Some TVs are just really terrible at HDR.
double edit: review of your set:

The LG UH6550 is a "4k" TV with slightly above average picture quality. It has a less accurate RGBW pixel structure which means that although it technically has ...

Cons: poor motion handling, dark scene performance, poor screen uniformity. It's the TV.

Bad HDR is a bit of a plague within the budget tv landscape. It usually makes things worse and not better if your TV can't reach 400 nits at minimum, and on some sets it's just outright bad. Worse, Smart TV functions will use those HDR settings and, in most cases, give you no chance to turn that bad HDR off when the SDR picture is outright better. In a lot of cases, you need a streaming box with its own internal setting to enable or disable HDR in order to get around it.
The whole experience gives HDR a bad reputation and makes consumers get headaches all because manufacturers crunched the numbers and knew they had to sell the TV with a big HDR logo on the box to be competitive.

so it seems it has nothing to do with HDR? wow, why would they do this...Reddit - Dive into anything

I would check other HDR sources though like on Youtube or a disc, if you have a 4K player. Just to rule out problems with the edge lighting in your panel.
Yeah, Sabrina uses a constant vignette effect for some reason. Can't say I've noticed it on other shows.

I bet there's a Reddit post somewhere complaining about film grain thinking it's bad compression or something.
I've seen it on a few TVs where you have to actually change a setting on the HDMI port to make sure the TV finds the right kind of cable or you have to specifically tell that port to use HDR. Some weird things.
