I don't see how this is going to help, apart from further changing the perception of what the creative intent is by, say, boosting the APL much higher than it actually should be. Still, Dobly has been rocking day and night modes on many TVs (which came as a surprise to one of our resident Dobly fanboys) so this is just the next step in that chain. But I only watch HDR in the dark so these kinds of practicalities are lost on me.
