HDR Playback Dark and colours are dull

I’ve added some HDR videos to my library, but when playing it back on my HDR TV (Philips OLED806) with the Plex Android TV app everything seems a bit dark and the colours look dull/faded. It does not look like HDR at all. When playing the non-HDR versions everything looks 10x better.

  • When I play the same files through IINA (just got HDR support added) on my MBP it looks really good, but when I play it through Plex HTPC the problem is still there.

  • I’ve also tried different players on my TV (MX Player, VLC etc.), but I can’t get it working. I’ve also tried every display mode setting available, to no avail.

  • The TV display a badge when HDR content is playing, so I’m sure that’s not the issue. Plex is also direct playing (not transcoding).

This may not really be a Plex issue, but it is something that has been bothering me al lot and I feel like I’ve tried everything, so I hope some of you can give me some help!
