Most people have TVs with not-great black levels anyway so they won't notice the elevated blacks/shadows at all and just see the brighter highlights, that and their colour will probably be set to 60 minimum so they won't think the colours are desaturated. Its technically broken ("The best kind of broken!") but it doesn't matter if most people think the image is attractive unfortunately, they will continue to put out these broken HDR modes until there is a more a standard in place.
HGIG will sort out a lot of the problems but it won't fix the: "We made the colours really oversaturated (As in God of War) because we think thats what consumers think HDR means", which isn't their fault, its TV manufacturers fault. Mostly Samsungs fault probably:
This is one of their shop-floor demos that the Samsung reps play on the TVs via USB drive. The resolution/bitrate is terrible ofc here, (I have the 4K source vid on my PC here but I think its illegal for me to upload that), but I promise you the colours are like that in the source video too.
I mean I don't know about you guys, but broccoli and red velvet cake is NOWHERE NEAR that saturated in real life lol, this isn't even just general colour correction you'd do on any video, its just nonsense CGI colour. This has created a false impression of what HDR is, the colour there is nothing to do with the expanded colour gamut that HDR can provide, its just the saturation whacked up.
