As I understand it HDR tone-mapping is done via the player itself only when the optimizer is utilized. Conversely, when the optimizer is switched off, tone-mapping on all HDR10 material is performed entirely by the TV/display, correct?
However, when it comes to Dolby Vision, is the mapping on the 820 exclusively player-led or can this be adjusted? AFAIK my X900F only supports Low Latency/player-led DV. Even so, I don't see an option in my player's settings that would even allow me to switch the profile to TV-led like on the OPPO in Vincent's video.
Either way it's good to have a better grasp as to why DV in general looks so disparate on my display depending on which device is delivering the signal. Internal streaming apps (blah) unfortunately looking the most robust with the Panny coming in at a very close second depending on the source material.

Try turning off DV in the player, and letting the HDR Optimizer tone map the HDR10 base layer instead. Give it a try a see which image looks better. Robert Zohn actually recommends doing that with DV discs on the Panny.
