HDR>SDR Conversion Scales

[StingingVelvet]

Didn't see a thread on this or much discussion. The various UHD players that convert HDR to SDR seem to have luminance scales you can play with. On my Sony it has a 1-5 scale with 1 offering the most bright/dark separation and 5 looking more flat.

There seems to be clipping on the extreme edges when converting no matter what, but this conversion scale increases and decreases the clipping. If you bottom it out though the UHD can look more faded and flat than the BD, so you really have to play with it.

It also seems to depend on the disc. I can have Into Darkness on setting 1 and see basically no clipping, even in the bright clouds scene toward the end. However with Pacific Rim there is clipping in the brights on any setting below 4.
