@Ampallang madshi already answered this: basically, there are two possibilities:
- madVR might do better tone mapping than the TV if the TV's pretty bad, so using madVR tone mapping with SDR output and the TV at max brightness might give better results than the TV's own HDR mode
OR:
- if the TV has bad tone mapping but is not that dumb, you may be able to go around it by giving madVR the real max nits of your TV and still outputting in HDR, and then the TV will avoid doing a second tone mapping as the brightest pixels will be under its max brightness and it would be able to display 'as is'
