Any expert or more experienced person done a more in depth analysis with an LED TV and have any thoughts ?

I have set-up an LED TV like this:
2.40 (madVR) -> 2.20 (display)
Because the image is actually getting brighter at the display, I increased the real display peak nits / lower limit in madVR to 225 nits to prevent the image from appearing washed out.
Set like above, the difference in brightness between HDR and SDR is actually reasonably close when the dynamic target nits in the test builds is making the decision on the end display brightness as the movie plays. UHD Blu-ray actually looks better than SDR Blu-ray in most cases, with some exceptions where SDR Blu-ray is noticeably brighter.
For a fair comparison, use full-bitrate UHD rips and not any of the UHD torrents out there that suffer from visual loss of quality.
