Well I think we know how it's supposed to work close enough to know if there's a bug or not. The difference between what we calculate based on the "known" DTN formula and what madVR reports has been very close.

I'm not referring to frame peaks below DPL, of course saturation is irrelevant in those cases as it doesn't tone map. But the scenes I tested in BvS and MMFR all had peaks well above DPL, and less desaturation looked better. Then I tested MMFR with the LG TM and madVR with the different desat options and don't desat was closest to LG's approach, and it not only looked better but also matches the non-TM version best. Now maybe a small amount of saturation (less than 100% desat 1) would be the best balance, I'll have to test more.

I believe highlights are defined as everything >100 nits for the avgHL calcs.
