I have a 2017 LG OLED and you asking made me check, the difference is dramatic:

PC v.s. Home Theater icon used for the input on the TV, identical settings otherwise. Set to the same D65 white point. 538 nits, OLED 80, Contrast 100, Brightness 50, Color 50, Technicolor, Warm2 High: R=-8, G=-8,B=5, Low: R=0, G=0, B=-1.

HDR Home Theater:

HDR PC:


Damn you LG!

Home Theater seems to have much better coverage on my TV. It is still mostly 4:4:4 but 4:2:2 shows up more than it does when set to PC, so there is extra processing that has some color blending. Good for video but not great for a monitor or precise chroma upscaling.

Edit: Neither mode is that great out of the box, the white point is pretty bad by default, at least on my TV. HDR content definitely looks better in Home Theater mode, even after creating a 3DLUT. I get a better 3DLUT for obvious reasons.
