HDR and dynamic contrast

I really doubt that is the case, no offense. It's a processing mode on top of the normal image, by it's very definition. I looked your set up on Rtings and it lacks the nits and color volume to really display HDR 10 properly, which is why you want that extra contrast and brightness. Simple as that really. That's why so many want Dolby Vision's dynamic metadata, so that kind of thing will be less of an issue.

Please don't take this offensively, I know people can be sensitive about their setups. I'm just trying to give the blunt advice I wish I got when I had my older TV, which was very similar.
