HDR not working?
JRU:
The passthrough option does not have a output video in HDR option. I am inclined to agree that it is the fault of the TV as it does seem to go into HDR mode but the picture doesn't look normal.
"I assume you are using [tone map HDR using pixel shaders] with [output video in HDR format] NOT ticked"
That is correct, by ticking the output video in HDR option the picture becomes worse.
The posted screenshots accurately represent what I see on the TV.
I watched a few 4K videos on Youtube and they displayed fine and had lots of "pop". I watched it through Chrome on my PC and not via the TV app. I figure that it is still displaying the image as SDR?

If HDR logo comes in passthrough ... and it looks nuts ... it’s TV ... when TV runs in that mode try changing TV picture settings - you might be missing something
4K on YouTube ... especially demos ... are usually overly saturated colors ... TVs in shops runs at overly saturated modes too to impress potential buyers with “vivid” colors (aka overly saturated colors) ... my LG E6 has demo mode specifically designed for that purpose ... obviously I don’t use that
If watching on Chrome in windows ... then it is not HDR video ... at least I don’t think so
For MadVR tone mapping ... try changing [target nits] setting to see what best suits you ... honestly MadVR tone mapping is superb on par with the likes of Lumagen ... forget about HDR logo popping on TV - it’s placebo
JRU:
I see, then it probably is the TV.
I did try some settings with the tonemapping to see what I liked.
Thanks for the help.
If one were to look for a display that properly displays HDR, even a professional one, which one is recommended? I understand they may be expensive, but just to understand what is required we can set aside price for now. I'm not buying anything, just curious.

The best consumer display is probably an LG C9 or CX OLED.
tij:
Professional grading monitors are not for consumers ... relatively small screen sizes ... generate lots of heat to get those 4000nits ... likely not HDCP compliant ... require regular calibration for reference display ... and usually ugly looking :)
Big manufacturers like Sony, LG, Samsung have good tone mapping. But if want best ... lumagen and MadVR envy scalers are way to go if have tons of cash. Otherwise, HTPC with MadVR and decent GPU will certainly imho outperform any TV tone mapping.
As for best TV ... depends on your intended use ... if watch movies in dark room, nothing beats OLED from likes of LG for their super duper black levels. If multipurpose use (movie, games, sport, regular TV) in normal rooms, Samsung QLED would be better option as they are generally much brighter ... which is needed in bright rooms where black levels don’t matter much ... plus regular TV and gaming tend to burn in OLED which normal LED like QLED are more immune.
PS. If money is not an issue ... for dark rooms Christie Eclipse projector ... for any purpose Samsung LED walls
