The consensus here seems to always be leave in SDR and use match content, but I’ve had no issues with leaving Dolby Vision on all the time. SDR content like youtube and TV shows that were never mastered in HDR look 100% fine to me. Part of the Dolby Vision spec is that it forces your TV into it’s most color accurate settings so why wouldn’t I want that as well? Using an LG C2 by the way.

      You better sit down. I don’t match frame rate either.

      I’ve tried the generally recommended settings and the video experience is less than optimal with my LG CX OLED TV in Cinema mode. My settings normalize the variations where some content is over saturated, some crush brightness, some are harsh, some still have the soap opera effect, etc. I get a consistent and beautiful picture across all of my streaming apps.

      Matching ON assumes every content producer puts a lot of thought and money into ensuring their videos look a certain way. Well, they don’t. Or can’t. I would guess many don’t have the budget, equipment, or time to produce superior video. So I let my ATV and LG CX improve then.

      The films from film makers who want their films to be seen a certain way (eg Christopher Nolan) are often in 4K DV anyway.
