I wouldn't enable Dynamic Contrast because it's equivalent to Dynamic Range Compression for audio. You're clipping information.
If Dynamic Contrast needs to be enabled, it just highlights the shortcomings of the TV honestly. Peak brightness just goes to show how far away the technology is from hitting 100% of HDR. The price of being an early adopter really. It's why the stopgap to calibrating HDR is to calibrate to the capabilities of the TV than the HDR standard because no TV right now exists that can hit it. Even this year's Sony ZD9, which is the closest to that standard in terms of peak brightness, is short. With that said, it's not that the TVs aren't tested personally. The technology isn't there yet and still in development, and buyers need to realize that's what investing in it now means. It's why DCI-P3 numbers sound nicer than BT. 2020. For example, the Samsung KU6300 doesn't even support WCG. Now look what happened this year for 2016 models :lol
I meant tested by reviewers etc, it's like they calibrate to old standards still, but I guess it's the panels that are probably not up to it, but yeah I agree, it is certainly open to interpretation from user to user as it's an open field at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it isn't meant to look as we're told from TV specialist reviewers, so tweaking is an necessity! Dull HDR with your new TV sir? Errrrrrrrr no thanks.
